ABSTRACT:
Abstract:The objective of this study was to know the beneficial effects of the main prebiotic food ingredients, oligosaccharides fruit, galactooligosaccharides, inulin and oligofructose and their importance for human health. It was an integrative review according to articles published between 2003 and 2020. The databases SCIELO, PUBMED, LILACS were used. The inclusion criteria that were used to be part of the research are (1) articles provided with indexed and electronic databases, (2) complete articles, (3) published studies originating in Portuguese and English. Different prebiotics will stimulate the growth of different indigenous intestinal bacteria. Prebiotics have an enormous potential to modify the intestinal microbiota. Prebiotics cause a reduction in intestinal pH and maintain osmotic water retention in the intestine. In addition, resistance to acids, proteases and bile salts present in the gastrointestinal tract can be considered as other favourable properties of prebiotics. It is necessary to encourage a healthy diet, including foods with auto-fiber content especially prebiotics their daily intake as food or as a food ingredient is proven to be beneficial to human health, due mainly to the functional effect it promotes in the body.
