Conclusions<br />

• The health-promoting, functional food market is a growing<br />

market.<br />

• Probiotics play an important role in gut health.<br />

• Health-promoting properties are strain-/product-specific,<br />

matrix-dependent, and individual-dependent.<br />

• Food manufacturers should apply a careful strain selection<br />

and correct labelling.<br />

• Mechanisms of action are becoming elucidated.<br />

• Health claims should be supported by scientific studies<br />

(mechanistic studies, human trials, ...).<br />

• More research is needed to justify the launch of new<br />

probiotics in general and of probiotic fermented sausages in<br />

particular, particularly with respect to human studies.
