Bifidobacteria are one of the key representatives of the normal gut microbiota, playing an important role in maintaining overall health. They colonize the intestines from the first days of life and participate in numerous processes that support digestion, strengthen the immune system, and synthesize essential vitamins.

However, with age and under the influence of various factors, their numbers decrease, leading to microbial imbalance and increasing the risk of various diseases. Understanding the distribution of bifidobacteria in the gut, their functions, and the factors that affect their levels helps maintain microbiome balance and prevent potential health problems.

Food colorings are additives used to give, enhance, or restore the color of food and beverages. They can be either synthetic (artificial) or natural, derived from plants, minerals, or animals.

Manufacturers use colorings to make products more appealing, as bright colors are associated with freshness and quality. They also help compensate for the loss of natural color that occurs during processing, freezing, and storage. Additionally, certain shades create a recognizable image for the product — for example, oranges are dyed to match consumer expectations.
