The probiotic bacteria must be viable to affect the health, but the non-viable bacteria could also affect the immunological status of the host. It is believed that the arrival of probiotic bacteria with food to different parts of intestine can increase probiotic bacteria adherence and the rate of colonization. Food products may contain many forms of probiotic bacteria, including culture concentrate that is added to a food (dried or deep-freeze form), the fermented or non-fermented food products, and dietary supplements in the form of drug products-powder, capsules or tablet. It is estimated that probiotic foods comprise between 60 and 70% of the total functional food market | INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY -LIFE AND BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES Edited by Theophile Theophanides Infrared Spectroscopy - Life and Biomedical Sciences Edited by Theophile Theophanides Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
