They are novel, clinically proven and safe molecules present in the market, whose health claims are approved by various international and/or Indian regulatory authorities. Probiotic-derived factors have been described as capable of exerting probiotic activities through probiotic mechanism of actions Although there are many bacteria-derived products capable of inducing a health benefit, the concept of probiotic is only attributed to microorganisms administered as viable forms, providing the opportunity for a symbiotic relationship between the host, and resident, or in-transit, microorganisms. Secreted probiotic factors, such as reuterin from Lactobacillus reuteri, have been reported to inhibit adhesion and viability of known enteric pathogens, suggesting that probiotic supernatants could be a rich source of new antipathogenic compounds.
