Probiotics Summit Programme:
We will also be showcasing our Science and innovation expertise across the Probiotics Summit programme.
On May 9 – Stream 3 – from 12:30 to 13:00, Prof. Dr. Michel Messora and Prof. Dr. Flavia Furlaneto, School of
Dentistry of Ribeirao Preto - University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, will present: Effects of Bifidobacterium animalis
ssp. lactis HN019 on periodontitis: Results from in vitro, Animal and Human Trials. Periodontal disease is
considered a global public health problem with high incidence and prevalence. Given that the two main
strategies for its treatment are the elimination of specific pathogens and control of the immunoinflammatory
response of the host, probiotics undoubtedly represent a promising method to achieve these goals. Currently,
there is a search for new products and probiotic strains that could be useful in the prevention and treatment of
periodontal diseases, with improved cost-effectiveness and less morbidity.
In addition, please join Dr. Arthur Ouwehand, Technical Fellow/Research Manager, DuPont Nutrition & Health,
from 15:45 to 16:15, to present: Probiotic Product Safety for Vulnerable Populations. Probiotics are generally
manufactured as functional foods and dietary supplements. These products are intended for the general
population and fulfill the quality criteria set by the local regulations. However, increasingly probiotic products
are also in vulnerable populations. Health care workers may assume that the probiotic products comply with
the same quality criteria as pharmaceuticals. Due to their microbial nature, specific quality criteria may be
required. These do not yet exist; the need and options for this will be discussed.
On May 10 from 10:00 to 12:30, please join Alvin Ibarra PhD chairing the Dietary Fibers Forum – Stream 1.
The discussion will focus on latest innovation, new ingredient application as well as exploring the consumer
perspective and new product development.
DuPont has also been shortlisted with HOWARU ® Shape for Ingredient of Year in the Weight Management
Category at the NutraIngredients Awards. From the DuPont Danisco ® range, HOWARU ® Shape is a unique
combination of probiotic (B420) and prebiotic (Litesse® Ultra) (or solo probiotic) clinically proven to cut

The Awards will be held at the Starling Hotel, Geneva on May 10 and we are hopeful of repeating the success
of winning in 2016. n
