Probiotics consist of living microorganisms that provide positive health benefits to the host when consumed in sufficient amounts. They are commonly existed in fermented foods, such as yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut, and can also be taken as supplements. Probiotics have been shown to help regulate the immune system and reduce inflammation, which are both important factors in the prevention of allergies. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that can stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria present in the gut. They can be plentiful in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Prebiotics can help improve gut health, have a positive effect on the immune system, and reduce the risks of allergies. Probiotics and prebiotics are capable of preventing and controlling allergies, but the relationship is complicated and not completely understood. This chapter focuses on the potential roles of probiotics and prebiotics in food science and nutrition by describing certain microorganisms and components associated with allergic diseases.
