25 May 2020 --- Consuming foods rich in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) may enrich the intestines with these potentially probiotic microorganisms. This is according to a new study carried out by the Microbiome Applications for Sustainable Food Systems through Technologies and Enterprise (MASTER) project, which is one of the largest EU-funded grants for food microbiome studies in the Horizon 2020 program. The research also offers hints and methodologies to implement novel strategies for tracing the life of probiotics and other LAB from foods or supplements all the way to the human body. The team is now planning to work closely with industry.
