Exopolysaccharides (EPSs)-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) andBifidobacteriaare widely used as starter cultures to make fermented food products due to their technological benefits. Moreover, LAB-EPSs and bifido-EPSs have been demonstrated to possess various physiological functions such as antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial and immunological activities, among which the immunoregulatory activity has attracted a lot of scientific interests in recent years. Generally, these functions are closely related to the chemical compositions and configurations of EPSs. This review sheds light on structures and functions of LAB-EPSs and bifido-EPSs. Among them, in vitro and in vivo models used to evaluate the immune effects of EPSs are summarized in detail, with particular emphasis on the structure-immunity relationship of EPSs. Furthermore, the applications of EPSs in the food industry, especially the different roles EPSs played in the yogurt texture, are discussed carefully in this review. Finally, some strategies of EPSs production are also proposed to provide some information about the enhancement of EPSs yield.
