Bimuno and The University of Reading, UK
The concept of prebiotics was first described by Glenn Gibson, (then at the Institute of Food Research, Reading) and Marcel Roberfroid (at the University Catholique Louvain, Belgium) in 1995. As Professor of Food Microbiology at the University of Reading in 1999, Gibson has continued his work on prebiotics, including the development of Bimuno - a prebiotic for use in humans. The Bimuno development programme combined Gibson’s research on prebiotics with Professor Bob Rastall’s (Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences, 1994 – present) research on enzymic development of functional food ingredients.
