Regional Symposium on Dietary Factors in Healthy Gut Microbiome: Prebiotics, Probiotics and Postbiotics
2026-08-26
Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia
The gut microbiota is a complex and diverse ecosystem comprising over 100 trillion microorganisms located predominantly in the distal gut and plays essential roles in nutrient absorption and metabolism, protection against pathogens, regulation of immune function, and strengthening of the gut and intestinal barriers. Increasing evidence recognises a healthy gut microbiota as a critical determinant of human health, while alterations in its composition and functionality, often referred to as microbial dysbiosis, are associated with metabolic disorders and pathological processes such as inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, metabolic syndrome, autism, and certain cancers. Among the many factors that influence the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota, dietary factors are considered one of the main drivers across the lifetime.
This symposium will focus on 3 bioactive dietary factors in promoting healthy gut microbiota, namely prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, which are increasingly recognised for their potential health benefits to the host.
ObjectivesThe symposium aims to:
- Provide scientific updates, including their roles in promoting a healthy gut microbiota
- Share research, innovative development and applications in food and supplements
- Review of regulatory status in SEA countries
- Discuss consumer understanding, perception and utilization
The1-day symposium will be held at:
