Detailed information
Postbiotics refer to inactivated bacterial cells, cell fractions, and metabolites that offer stable and targeted health benefits.
Postbiotics refer to a type of ingredient that involves mixing, sterilizing, and cooling qualified raw materials, then inoculating one or several strains of lactic acid bacteria or probiotics for fermentation. The fermented liquid or solid is then inactivated, with the bacterial cells either broken or left intact, and may undergo solid-liquid separation, addition or omission of carriers, and further drying or non-drying treatment.
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Lactobacillus casei is a genus of Gram-positive, non-bacteriophage-like bacteria belonging to the family Lactobacillaceae. Lactobacillus casei is a non-branched Gram-positive bacterium, mostly in the form of straight rods. Lactobacillus casei can be classified as aerobic and anaerobic according to different growth conditions; aerobic Lactobacillus casei requires oxygen to grow, while anaerobic Lactobacillus casei does not require oxygen. Lactobacillus casei can be divided into lactic acid type and non-lactic acid type according to different metabolism; lactic acid type of Lactobacillus casei can produce lactic acid by fermentation, while non-lactic acid type of Lactobacillus casei does not produce lactic acid. In addition, Lactobacillus casei can be classified by similarity of gene sequences.
Maintaining intestinal microecological balance is the key to combating diseases associated with immune and metabolic disorders. Lactobacillus casei can effectively control the number of bacteria in the intestinal tract, increase the number of beneficial bacteria, promote the digestion and absorption of animals, reduce the waste of feed, reduce the incidence of animal diseases, increase the number and species of normal microorganisms in the intestinal tract of animals, maintain the balance of the intestinal flora, and improve the digestive ability of animals. At the same time, Lactobacillus casei can also reduce the intestinal pH value, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract, and play a role in preventing and controlling intestinal diseases.
During the growth and metabolism of Lactobacillus casei, it will produce some anti-microbial substances (such as organic acids, bacteriocins, bacteriocins, etc.), which can inhibit harmful bacteria and exogenous pathogens to a certain extent, i.e. antagonistic effect. Firstly, Lactobacillus casei can promote the digestion and nutrient absorption of animals, it can help to decompose complex carbohydrates, proteins and fats in food by producing some enzymes and beneficial metabolites, so that they can be digested and absorbed more easily, and then improve the utilisation rate of feed for animals, and promote the growth and development of animals. Secondly, Lactobacillus casei is also able to enhance the immunity of animals, which can activate and regulate the host's immune system to resist the invasion and infection of pathogenic bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are postbiotics?
Postbiotics are preparation of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confers a health benefit on the host. They are produced by fermenting raw materials with probiotics, followed by an inactivation process.
What is the difference between probiotics and postbiotics?
Unlike probiotics, which consist of live bacteria that must survive transit to the gut, postbiotics contain inactivated (non-living) bacteria and their metabolic byproducts. This makes postbiotics highly stable and easier to formulate into various products.
How does Lactobacillus casei support gut health?
Lactobacillus casei helps regulate the intestinal microecological balance, reduces intestinal pH to inhibit pathogens, and produces antimicrobial substances like organic acids and bacteriocins to prevent digestive tract issues.
In what applications can postbiotics be used?
Postbiotics are highly versatile and widely used in food, dairy products, personal care formulations, environmental protection solutions, daily chemicals, pet food, and natural preservatives.
Can the potency of these postbiotic strains be customized?
Yes, customized potencies are acceptable. While standard potencies range from 10B Cell/g to 100B Cell/g, specific strains can be provided in potencies up to 300B Cell/g depending on formulation needs.
