Human eats the food to get the nutrition and energy for the body to keep himself/herself healthy and working. But a balance of nutrition is always required for the proper working and healthiness of the body and for that food should be digested properly and this happens in the gut of the human. In the gut some beneficial bacteria are required which perform this function and these bacteria feed on some specific foods which is known as the prebiotics. Prebiotics acts as the substrate for the beneficial bacteria present in the gut of the human and thus helps in promoting the strength of the beneficial bacteria. Prebiotics also helps in the reduction of the harmful bacteria and also prevents the human from the diseases. In this paper the study has been focused on the prebiotics and will be helpful to understand the importance of the prebiotics and the food products possessing the prebiotics properties.
