Novel Methods for Probiotic Research. Workshop on Demonstration of theNutritional Functionality of Probiotic Foods (2nd). Held in Cork, Ireland on October 3, 1997

摘要

The workshop is the second in a series of four workshops for the FAIRDemonstration project entitled Demonstration of the Nutritional Functionality of Probiotic Foods, Probdemo, FAIR CT96-1028. The aim is to substantiate the real value of probiotic products to the EU markets and to EU consumers by providing a sound basis for assessing the functionality of novel probiotic foods. The project enables the industry to demonstrate the health claims for probiotic products on children and adults with regard to management of intestinal disorders and immune enhancement. The workshops and newsletters and other publications are considered to be of utmost importance for the dissemination of project results since the main purpose of the programme is demonstration. The dissemination will thus be established by annual workshops and newsletters.
