Explain the Properties of Good Prebiotic?

Thus, to summarize, we can say that a good prebiotic should have the following properties:

• Be active at a nutritionally feasible, as low a dose as possible,
• Lack side effects,
• Be able to exert fine control of microflora modulation,
• Persist throughout the colon including distal areas,
• Have varying viscosity,
• Have good storage/processing stability,
• Have differing sweetness, and
• Inhibit adhesion of pathogens.
