Abstract: The present invention provides use of a Bifidobacterium lactis supernatant as a bifidogenic factor. The present invention also provides a Bifidobacterium lactis supernatant for use in enhancing the growth of bifidobacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of a subject. The present invention also provides a Bifidobacterium lactis supernatant for use in treating or preventing a gastrointestinal disease by enhancing the growth of bifidobacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of a subject.

Abstract: The present invention provides a Bifidobacterium lactis supernatant for use in enhancing expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines and/or reducing expression of pro-inflammatory chemokines in the gastrointestinal tract of a subject having or at risk of an overactive immune system disorder. The present invention also provides a Bifidobacterium lactis supernatant for use in enhancing expression of IL-10 in the gastrointestinal tract of a subject having or at risk of an IL-10 mediated disease. The present invention also provides a Bifidobacterium lactis supernatant for use in treating or preventing an IL-10 mediated disease by enhancing expression of IL-10 in the gastrointestinal tract of a subject.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition for infants or young children comprising at least one probiotic bacterial strain, said probiotic bacterial strain being bifidobacteria and a prebiotic mixture of human milk oligosaccharides consisting of 2?-fucosyllactose (2FL), lactodifucotetraose/difucosyllactose (DFL), lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), 6?-sialyllactose (6SL), 3?-sialyllactose (SSL) and optionally 3-fucosyllactose (3FL) that can be useful for (i) preventing and/or treating bacterial infections; (ii) modulating the microbiota; and/or iii) preventing and/or treating allergy in an infant or a young child.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one carrier comprising a polysaccharide, at least one antioxidant and at least one amino acid selected from cysteine, lysine, alanine and arginine. It also relates to the use of such a composition for the protection of microorganisms during drying, storage and/or reconstitution, to a culture powder, to a process of making the culture powder and to products comprising the culture powder.

Abstract: A nutritional composition obtainable by fermenting a mixture comprising protein, carbohydrate and fat, wherein the major source of protein is potato protein, and wherein the mixture is fermented by lactic acid-producing bacteria.
