Add to basketThrough five editions, and since 1993, Lactic Acid Bacteria: Microbiological and Functional Aspects has provided readers with information on how and why fermentation by lactic acid-producing bacteria improves the shelf life, palatability, and nutritive value of perishable foods and also how these microbes have been used as probiotics for decades. Thoroughly updated (with the current lactobacilli taxonomy) and fully revised, with a rearrangement of chapters into four sections, the Sixth Edition covers new findings on health effects, properties, production and stability of LAB as well as regulatory aspects globally. The new edition also addresses the technological use of LAB in various fermentations of food, feed, and beverage and their safety considerations. It also includes the rising concept of postbiotics and discusses new targets such as cognitive function, metabolic health, and respiratory health.

Dr. Gabriel Vinderola graduated at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering from the National University of Litoral (Santa Fe, Argentina) in 1997 and obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 2002 at the same University. He served for a year as a visiting scientist in Canada at the University of Moncton and joined several research teams in Europe (Spain, France, Italy, Germany and Finland). He is presently Principal Researcher of the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) and Associate Professor at the Food Technology and Biotechnology Department of his home Faculty. He participated in the development of the first commercial cheese carrying probiotic bacteria from Latin America, released in the market in 1999. In 2011, he was awarded the prize in Food Technology for young scientists, by the National Academy of Natural, Physic and Exact Sciences from Argentina. He published more than 130 original scientific publications in international refereed journals and book chapters. From 2020 he serves as member of the board of directors of the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP).
Dr. Arthur Ouwehand is Technical Fellow and Digestive Health Platform leader at International Flavors & Fragrances in Kantvik, Finland. He has a research background in both academia and industry. His main interest is on functional foods and dietary supplements, in particular, probiotics and prebiotics and their influence on the intestinal microbiota. He is active in the International Life Sciences Institute Europe, the International Dairy Federation, the International Probiotics Association and the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics. Dr. Ouwehand received his M.S. degree (1992) in cell biology from Wageningen University (the Netherlands) and his Ph.D. degree (1996) in microbiology from Göteborg University (Sweden). In 1999, he was appointed as an Adjunct Professor in Applied Microbiology at the University of Turku (Finland), and he is the author of more than 300 journal articles and book chapters.
