Abstract

By-products in food processing have a significant nutritive value, containing fiber and bioactive substances, and should be, therefore, utilized to improve value addition in food sector and to enhance human health. The project develops a strategy of effective utilization of food by-products, by generating novel functional products for human consumption. The by-products of concern are peel from tropical Brazilian fruits, for example, citrus, orange and mango, besides peel and starches from potato Processing. The by-products will be converted into multifunctional symbiotic carriers for colon-specific delivery of probiotic lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. Prebiotic potential of the food by-products, such as supporting growth of probiotics, adhesion to intestinal cells and immunomodulation will be investigated using in vitro mammalian cell models. The hypothesis that prebiotics and symbiotic can beneficially modulate the gut microbiota will be tested by in vitro gastrointestinal models using microbiota profiling techniques and next generation DNA sequencing. Microbiota studies will focus on the metabolic diseases, such as obesity. The bioactive carbohydrate epitopes related to prebiotic action and their dynamic in intestinal environment will be determined by chromatography and carbohydrate microarrays. The multivariate statistical models will be developed to link the bioactive structures in the symbiotic products with their functionality and prebiotic capacity for prediction of the health benefits. Finally, BioSyn will design, develop and produce a symbiotic dietary formulation based on the food by-products. The outcome of BioSyn will include a new knowledge of combined potential of symbiotic ingredients for improvement of human health and the tools to generate valuable symbiotic formulations from the food by-products.
