Recently, the term ‘parabiotics’ has reported inactivated microbes with similar health properties of probiotics.
Parabiotics can overcome the side effects, risks, safety, and functional limitations of viable probiotics, especially in vulnerable consumers who have difficulty consuming them. Parabiotics produced by heating, radiation, ultraviolet rays, high pressure, and sonication.
The main components were known as peptidoglycan, lipopolysaccharides, teichoic acids, and biosurfactants.
In addition, parabiotics have been reported the health functionality including immunomodulation, anticancer, antioxidant, neuroprotective effects, and other various functional effects. Therefore, this review summarizes the fundamentals of parabiotics and their representative functional effects, including immunomodulation and anticancer effects, and discusses their potential future applications as health functional materials in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
