Prebiotic capacity of inulin-type fructans.
The human gut microbiota plays a significant role in human health through its ability to digest food ingredients and manufacture metabolites. This can be positive or negative for host welfare. Moreover, the microflora plays an active role in host defense whereby colonization resistance affords protection against pathogens. Prebiotics are nondigestible food ingredients that target beneficial com...
متن کاملPrebiotic effects of inulin and oligofructose.
Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that target certain components within the microbiota of the human large intestine. Efficient prebiotics need to have a specific fermentation therein and thereby have the ability to alter the faecal microflora composition towards a more 'beneficial' community structure. This should occur by the stimulation of benign or potentially health promoting g...
متن کاملPhysicochemical Characterization and Potential Prebiotic Effect of Whey Protein Isolate/Inulin Nano Complex
The purposes of this study were to investigate the impacts of concentration levels of whey protein isolate (WPI) and inulin on the formation and physicochemical properties of WPI/inulin nano complexes and to evaluate their potential prebiotic effects. WPI/inulin nano complexes were produced using the internal gelation method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and particle size analyzer wer...
متن کاملBiotechnological potential of inulin for bioprocesses.
Inulin consists of linear chains of β-2,1-linked D-fructofuranose molecules terminated by a glucose residue through a sucrose-type linkage at the reducing end. In this review article, inulin and its applications in bioprocesses are overviewed. The tubers of many plants, such as Jerusalem artichoke, chicory, dahlia, and yacon contain a large amount of inulin. Inulin can be actively hydrolyzed by...
متن کاملSupplementation of baby formula with native inulin has a prebiotic effect in formula-fed babies.
OBJECTIVES In this study we investigated the effects of native inulin on formula-fed babies. The influence of inulin on the microbial composition, pH, consistency and amount of faeces, and on frequency of defecation was assessed. METHODS In this study a daily dosage of 0.25 g/kg/d was used: 3 weeks of inulin consumption were inulin followed by 3 weeks without or vice versa. The study group co...
