Synbiotics are combination of both prebiotics and probiotics containing product mainly involved in the improving of gut health. These are emerging high demand nutraceuticals commercially around the world which was expecting of gaining 1.5 billion USD during the year 2023. Various countries like North America, UK, Germany, France, China and India are focused on this product development. Synbiotics plays a major role in the prevention of various gut related disorders like irritable bowel syndrome, gastro esophageal reflux disease, lactose intolerance etc. Our study was aimed to prepare the synbiotic by using soya bean and reduced starch from the rhizome of banana. Firstly, the soyabean paste was prepared by through cleaning of soyabeans then it was soaked, boiled and thrashed into paste. Add barley to this paste and mix well. Then the mixture was left for fermentation by using the Bacillus subtilis in a clean dry porcelain container for about 3 months. After the through fermentation the product was dried and powdered along with addition of reduced starch isolated from the rhizome of banana. After the formulation the product was evaluated for stability, growth rate of beneficiary bacteria, and reduction activity against pathogenic bacteria like E. coli. The results shows that the stability of the product was satisfactory. The colony forming units of bacteria was increased and the product shows the inhibition of pathogenic bacteria. Now a days because of adultrated food, antibiotic therapy gut health was disturbing synbiotics are major hope in future nutraceuticals commercially plays vital role in gut health maintenance.
