TLDR
Although increased folate levels in yoghurts and fermented milks are possible through judicious selection of inoculum species, the folate Levels remain relatively low in terms of recommended daily allowance.About:

Lactic acid bacteria as functional starter cultures for the food fermentation industry
Frédéric Leroy,Luc De Vuyst +1 more
TL;DR: New starter cultures of lactic acid bacteria with an industrially important functionality are being developed that can contribute to the microbial safety or offer one or more organoleptic, technological, nutritional, or health advantages.

γ-Aminobutyric acid production by culturable bacteria from the human intestine.
Eoin Barrett,R.P. Ross,R.P. Ross,Paul W. O'Toole,Gerald F. Fitzgerald,Catherine Stanton,Catherine Stanton +6 more
TL;DR: To assess the ability of human intestinally derived strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium to produce γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), four strains were selected.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Controversial Role of Human Gut Lachnospiraceae.
Mirco Vacca,Giuseppe Celano,Francesco Maria Calabrese,Piero Portincasa,Marco Gobbetti,Maria De Angelis +5 more
TL;DR: Changes in Lachnospiraceae abundances according to health and disease are discussed and how nutrients from the host diet can influence their growth and how their metabolites can, in turn, influence host physiology are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review article: bifidobacteria as probiotic agents – physiological effects and clinical benefits
TL;DR: The traditional use of bifidobacteria in fermented dairy products and the GRAS status of certain strains attest to their safety, and some strains show high gastrointestinal survival capacity and exhibit probiotic properties in the colon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yogurt and gut function.
TL;DR: Although substantial evidence currently exists to support a beneficial effect of yogurt consumption on gastrointestinal health, there is inconsistency in reported results, which may be due to differences in the strains of LAB used, in routes of administration, or in investigational procedures or to the lack of objective definition of "gut health."

Multivitamin use, folate, and colon cancer in women in the Nurses' Health Study.
Edward Giovannucci,Meir J. Stampfer,Graham A. Colditz,David J. Hunter,Charles S. Fuchs,Bernard Rosner,Frank E. Speizer,Walter C. Willett +7 more
TL;DR: This report examines the temporal and dosage relations between intake of folate, both from supplements and from foods, and risk for colon cancer in women in the Nurses' Health Study and pays particular attention to the problem of possible confounding by multivitamin use.

Journal ArticleDOI
Periconceptional Vitamin Use, Dietary Folate, and the Occurrence of Neural Tube Defects
TL;DR: A reduction in NTD risk associated with folate intake is consistent with other studies; however, the reduced risk may be particular to subsets of the population, primarily non-Hispanic women and women whose education does not exceed high school.

Methods of vitamin assay
TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of methods for conducting vitamin assays are described, including biological assays, microbiological assays and chromatographic assays; these methods are also discussed in the context of specific vitamins and nutrients.

Folate intake in Europe: recommended, actual and desired intake.
A. de Bree,M. van Dusseldorp,Ingeborg A. Brouwer,K.H. van het Hof,Régine P.M. Steegers-Theunissen +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate possible inconsistencies between recommended, actual and desired folate intake in European adult populations and evaluate the effect of folate consumption on the risk of neural tube defects and plasma homocysteine levels.
