Abstract

Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are the main bacterial metabolites, which are produced by specific colonic anaerobic bacteria after fermentation of dietary fiber and resistant starch. It can promote cell growth, reduce the pH value of the intestinal environment and regulate the intestinal health of the host. Many studies have confirmed the regulatory effect of probiotics on intestinal flora and their effect on SCFAs content. Therefore, SCFAs in probiotics has always been a hot research topic. In order to gain a deeper understanding of SCFAs, this article mainly reviews the research progress on characteristics, distribution and synthetic pathways of SCFAs in probiotics and the role of probiotics in disease remission. The aim is to provide theoretical basis and research ideas for SCFAs-producing probiotics in food and health care products.
