Epidemiological evidences indicate that consumption of whole grains products is associated to a decreased risk for common chronic diseases, as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, hypertension and metabolic syndrome. In the present study a whole grain pasta was supplemented with prebiotics and probiotics 'ad hoc' formulated. In detail, pasta was industrially developed after the identification of particular cultivars of wheat and barley, rich in carotenoids, β-glucans (2.6 g/100g pasta), not soluble fibers and antioxidants. Further, pasta was supplemented with spores of Bacillus coagulans, a putative probiotic microorganism, belonging to Lactobacillus family. It is well demonstrated the ability of this microorganism to survive to technological processes and to upper gastro-intesinal tract, in order to exert beneficial effects in the lower gut, as anti-microbial activity, increasing immunological defences as well as improvements in intestinal regularity. Conversely, the control pasta was made from the same cultivar of grain and by the same technological process, but without any supplementation.
