Abstract
The state of the art on pre and probiotic does not present a definitive answer on the best way of delivery of them. The objective of the present study is to compare one food matriz (ice cream obtained on a semi-industrial scale) and a lyophilized food supplement containing the same amounts of inulin, Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12. Static simulated digestion (metabolic bath) and dynamics (simulator of the human gastrointestinal tract) will be employed. The viability, metabolic state, cellular morphology and viability (by techniques based or not on cultivation) of the probiotics in ice cream and lyophilized food supplement will be obtained. At the final step of the research a double blind clinical study will be made to evaluate the effect of supplementation of volunteers of the Preparatory School of Cadets of Campinas / SP in parameters of microbiota, gut-brain axis and general health. All variables will be analyzed for their distribution. The results of the microbiota analysis will undergo bioinformatics treatment. Variables involving humans will be compared by paired tests (paired t-student or Wilcoxon) before and after the proposed intervention. Correlation and association tests will be performed to verify the relationship of the variables. (AU)
