This book discusses the effect of microbiota on human health and disease. The microbiome is a complex collection of microorganisms. The microbial community differs across body sites, driven by different environmental conditions, immunological factors, and interactions between microbial species. It is now well known that the microbiome interacts with its host, assisting in the bioconversion of nutrients and detoxification, boosting immunity, and protecting against pathogenic microbes. This book addresses such topics as the pathogenesis and role of microbiota in disease, the relationship of the microbiome with obesity, the interactions of gut microbiota and the brain, and the development of functional foods fortified with probiotic microorganisms.

To prevent chemical and physical interactions and maintain the biological, functional, and physicochemical qualities of core materials, microencapsulation is the process of creating a functional barrier between the core and wall material. Different techniques, such as emulsification, spray-drying, extrusion, freeze-drying, coacervation, in situ polymerization, melt-extrusion, supercritical fluid technology, and fluidized-bed coating, have been used to conduct and commercialize the microencapsulation of vitamins, elements, essential oils, and probiotics. For the proper microencapsulation method and wall material must be chosen based on the product's intended application and the processing circumstances. The benefits of microencapsulation have created new possibilities that could transform the manufacturing of dairy products. The current book examines a developing pattern and a few potential uses for the encapsulation technique in dairy products.
