On roasted chicory

Gastrointestinal tolerance to an inulin-rich soluble roasted chicory extract after consumption in healthy subjects.

OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess in healthy subjects 1) the effect of two doses of a new naturally inulin-rich soluble chicory extract (IRSCE) on overall gastrointestinal discomfort after short-term ingestion and 2) the effect on gastrointestinal symptoms of long-term consumption of IRSCE administered at a dose compatible with its future commercial use. METHODS First, the effect of IRSCE was ass...

Effect of dietary chicory on boar taint.

Following preliminary screening and feeding trials on farms supplying a commercial abattoir, 360 entire male pigs were used to evaluate the effects of different percentages of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) on levels of boar taint compounds and sensory aspects in backfat. Pigs were fed 0, 3, 6 or 9% chicory in the diet, 30 pigs being sampled at 3 different times: initially to measure basal leve...

Effects of chicory inulin on ruminal fermentation in vitro

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of spray dried inulin powder from chicory roots of different origins on in vitro ruminal fermentation. For this purpose, two long-term experiments were made with the Rumen Simulation Technique (Rusitec), in which the fermentation of a mixed ration of hay (5 g/d) and concentrate (4 g/d) was compared with the fermentation of the same diet...
