INTRODUCTION Prebiotics are products containing carbohydrates, which main component is mannose. These products are commonly use to reduce the colonization of the intestinal tract by enteropathogenic bacteria. Probiotics are mainly represented by mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), present in the cell wall of yeasts, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. They exert their...
