The present evidences emphasize the health benefits of some microorganisms. In this regard, probiotics are currently among the most studied beneficial microorganisms (Cassani, Gomez-Zavaglia, & Simal-Gandara, 2020). Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a diverse group of microorganisms, having the ability to produce lactic acid as the main product, which prevents the proliferation of food spoilage bacteria and pathogens. They are Gram-positive, nonspore forming, cocci or rods, with the ability to secrete a variety of antimicrobial compounds, for example, organic acids, bacteriocins, etc. (Quigley et al., 2013). LAB are normal inhabitants of the healthy gut microbiota in animals and can be found in the milk and dairy products such as cheese. Lactic acid bacteria are the most commonly used probiotics in the food. Nowadays, the development of novel probiotic-based foods has gained more attention. Probiotics display several health benefits by affecting the intestinal flora and permeability, modulating the immunological parameters in the body, and producing bioactive or regulatory metabolites (George et al., 2018). Nowadays,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
