متن کاملNutritional and Health Benefits of Inulin and Oligofructose Inulin and Oligofructose: What Are They?
Inulin is a term applied to a heterogeneous blend of fructose polymers found widely distributed in nature as plant storage carbohydrates. Oligofructose is a subgroup of inulin, consisting of polymers with a degree of polymerization (DP) #10. Inulin and oligofructose are not digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract; therefore, they have a reduced caloric value. They stimulate the growth of i...
متن کاملNutritional and Health Benefits of Inulin and Oligofructose Fiber, Inulin and Oligofructose: Similarities and Differences
The biological, chemical and physical properties of dietary fibers are associated with physiologic actions in the small and large intestine that have important metabolic implications for health. These properties of fiber include dispersibility in water, bulk, viscosity, adsorption and binding of compounds and fermentability. Dietary fructans share some of the properties of dietary fiber and thu...
متن کاملEffects of Probiotics and Prebiotics in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) including most important forms; Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC); are chronic diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract with unclear etiology and pathology.
