The first thing that came up is what is the difference?
The first answer, the fastest one, comes from wikipedia ...
Prebiotic foods are generally composed of non-digestible carbohydrates while probiotics contains living organisms.
In both cases beneficial health properties are attributed to the products, but the EFSA (European Food Safety Agency) is there to protect the consumer.

If we bring this issue to the theme of the blog, supercritical fluids can be used for the production of prebiotic ingredients like inulin.Pulling the thread can access two interesting articles on the topic (also in spanish):
