New ISAPP Expert Recommendation: Scientific Criteria for Classifying Prebiotics

The study of prebiotics, a concept introduced nearly 30 years ago, continues to evolve with advances in high-resolution gene sequencing technologies and research on how dietary substances impact health through the microbiome. Both scientists and consumers may face confusion about which substances can genuinely be classified as prebiotics, but a recently published expert recommendation from ISAPP aims to clarify the criteria for prebiotic substances.

This ISAPP webinar, recorded on Dec 11, 2024, addresses the challenges in defining and classifying prebiotics, describing a unified, global approach for the scientific field moving forward.
