ABSTRACT

Several health benefits probiotics have been reported by various known and published mechanisms however, due to the emerging concern and limitations such as viability and safety, their potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical sectors controls have been hampered. In order to combat these problems associated with viable microorganisms focus of research area is gradually shifting towards non-viable microbial cells, microbial fractions, or cell lysates known as postbiotics. Although, earlier these terms are not well but recently defined terminologies have been proposed by the international scientific association of probiotics and prebiotics (ISAPP).
