Probiotics and Prebiotics

Formulation and Production

For successful delivery of probiotic benefits to the consumer, several criteria must be met. For manufacturing, an intricate production process is required that ensures both high yield and stability and must also be able to meet requirements such as the absence of specific allergens, which require some obvious culture media ingredients. Reproducibility is important to ensure constant high performance and quality. To ensure this, quality control throughout the whole production process, from raw materials to the final product, is essential, as is the documentation of this quality control. Consumer product formulation requires skill and experience to formulate the final product.
