  • Title: Whey and Its Derivatives for Probiotics, Prebiotics, Synbiotics, and Functional Foods: a Critical Review.
    Author: Kareb O, Aïder M.
    Journal: Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins; 2019 Jun; 11(2):348-369. PubMed ID: 29732479.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this review is to highlight the importance of whey as a source of new-generation functional ingredients. Particular interest is given to probiotic growth in the presence of whey derivatives such as lactulose, a lactose derivative, which is a highly sought-after prebiotic in functional feeding. The role of sugar/nitrogen interactions in the formation of Maillard products is also highlighted. These compounds are known for their antioxidant power. The role of bioactive peptides from whey is also discussed in this study. Finally, the importance of an integrated valuation of whey is discussed with an emphasis on functional nutrition and the role of probiotics in the development of novel foods such as synbiotics.
