Prebiotic Effect of Agave Fructans and Mixtures of Different Degrees of Polymerization from Agave angustifolia Haw
Agave fructans are complex and highly branched molecules, which cannot be digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract. As a result, when they reach the large intestine, they serve as fermentative substrates for bacterial growth. Previous reports have shown that fructans of the inulin-type, through both in vitro and in vivo assessments, are effective prebiotics, increasing the content of bifido...
متن کاملMolecular structures of fructans from Agave tequilana Weber var. azul.
Agave plants utilize crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) for CO(2) fixation. Fructans are the principal photosynthetic products generated by agave plants. These carbohydrates are fructose-bound polymers frequently with a single glucose moiety. Agave tequilana Weber var. azul is an economically important CAM species not only because it is the sole plant allowed for tequila production but because ...
متن کاملStudy of Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Fructans from Agave salmiana Characterization and Kinetic Assessment
Fructans were extracted from Agave salmiana juice, characterized and subjected to hydrolysis process using a commercial inulinase preparation acting freely. To compare the performance of the enzymatic preparation, a batch of experiments were also conducted with chicory inulin (reference). Hydrolysis was performed for 6 h at two temperatures (50, 60 °C) and two substrate concentrations (40, 60 m...
متن کاملEffects of Fructans from Mexican Agave in Newborns Fed with Infant Formula: A Randomized Controlled Trial
BACKGROUND The importance of prebiotics consumption is increasing all over the world due to their beneficial effects on health. Production of better prebiotics from endemic plants raises possibilities to enhance nutritional effects in vulnerable population groups. Fructans derived from Agave Plant have demonstrated their safety and efficacy as prebiotics in animal models. Recently, the safety i...
متن کاملPhysiological effects of dietary fructans extracted from Agave tequilana Gto. and Dasylirion spp.
Recent data reported that inulin-type fructans extracted from chicory roots regulate appetite and lipid/glucose metabolism, namely, by promoting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) production in the colon. The Agave genus growing in different regions of Mexico also contains important amounts of original fructans, with interesting nutritional and technological properties, but only few data report th...
