Abstract
En 中文
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are extracellular metabolites secreted by various bacteria, including lactic acid bacteria (LAB). EPS vary in structure and their composition depends on a number of production factors. In particular, they are used as thickeners to improve the organoleptic properties of foods. In any case, they can also have beneficial effects on human well-being, such as prebiotic effects, antioxidant effects, antimicrobial effects, and modulation of the immune system. This review aims to summarize the results of recent research on EPS produced by LAB in the regulation of intestinal health by acting as prebiotic and antimicrobial agents, as well as their antioxidant, hypocholesterolemic and immunomodulatory effects.
