PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: There is provided an enteric composition that is suitable for addition to food or beverage products, such as yogurt, and has a disintegration time that is controllable to enable disintegration and content release in the small intestine or the large intestine, especially in the large intestine.

SOLUTION: An enteric composition includes a content and an enteric coating agent, the content being a mixture of probiotics and an edible hydrogenated oil emulsion, the content being coated with the enteric coating agent.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a given Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain and a given Lactobacillus paracasei strain wherein the ratio of the given Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain to the given Lactobacillus paracasei strain (LRα:LPα) is higher or equal to 8:1 and to methods thereof.

The present invention provides a method for producing a fermented food, comprising: a fermentation step of fermenting a raw material milk-containing milk preparation solution added with Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Streptococcus thermophilus carrying a prtS gene.

Embodiments of the disclosure concern methods and compositions related to manipulation of the microbiome in an individual having at least one social behavior deficit. In particular embodiments, an individual has at least one social behavior deficit and was born from a mother who during pregnancy was obese, overweight, or on a high-fat diet during pregnancy or carries mutations associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. In specific embodiments, the individual having at least one social behavior deficit is provided an effective amount of Lactobacillus reuteri for the improvement of at least one symptom of a social behavior deficit.
