Description of the research topic:

Consumption of probiotic food products and food supplements has been continuously growing. A major issue in the production of probiotics and probiotic functional foods is the selection of strains exhibiting strong probiotic characteristics in each respective environment. The currently applied selection methods are time-consuming, require expensive equipment and consumables. Therefore, quick and inexpensive method, which allows rapid, in vivo comprehensive bacteria efficiency evaluation, is needed. The electronic tongue containing chemical sensors with different organic membrane coatings provides sensitivity to monitor the chemical composition of liquids. The measured chemical characteristics as a fingerprint of the metabolites of the bacteria strains possessing different probiotic properties can be useful to classify probiotic strains based on their probiotic strength.
