Bifidogenic effect and stimulation of short chain fatty acid production in human faecal slurry cultures by oligosaccharides derived from lactose and lactulose.

چکیده
Bifidogenic effect and stimulation of short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production by fractions of oligosaccharides with a DP> or =3 and Gal beta(1-6) linkages synthesised from lactose or lactulose by Pectinex Ultra SP-L and Lactozym 3000 L HP G were evaluated in human faecal slurries. Results were compared with those obtained for the commercial oligosaccharide mixture Vivinal-GOS. Quantitative real-time PCR showed that all galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) fractions stimulated slightly higher bifidobacteria growth than lactose, lactulose and Vivinal-GOS. GOS fractions promoted the production of total SCFA and acetic acid in a similar way to Vivinal-GOS and more than glucose, lactose and lactulose. In conclusion, oligosaccharides derived from lactose and lactulose may represent a suitable alternative to lactulose for the design of new functional food ingredients.

In vitro fermentation of carbohydrate by breast fed and formula fed infants.
Unabsorbed carbohydrates are fermented by colonic bacteria to short chain fatty acids (SCFA) which are rapidly absorbed, salvaging energy and reducing stool output. There are marked differences between the faecal flora and SCFA of breast fed (BF) and formula fed (FF) infants which may be related to the higher incidence of diarrhoea in FF infants. Part of this effect may be caused by a differenc...
متن کاملLactulose: Significance in Milk and Milk Products
Lactose, a unique disaccharide, occurring exclusively in the mammalian milk plays an important role in nutrition. Most of the lactose that is manufactured on an industrial scale is produced from whey derived from the production of cheese, casein or paneer using crystallization and purification technologies. Lactose can be converted to various derivatives like lactitol, lactobionic acid, galacto...
متن کاملComparison of the in vitro bifidogenic properties of pectins and pectic-oligosaccharides.
AIMS To compare the in vitro fermentation properties of pectins and oligosaccharides derived from them in pure and mixed faecal cultures. METHODS AND RESULTS Specific growth rates of selected bacterial genera were calculated in pure culture. Bifidobacterium angulatum, B. infantis and B. adolescentis had higher growth rates on pectic oligosaccharides (POS I) derived from high methylated pectin...
متن کاملA comparative in vitro evaluation of the fermentation properties of prebiotic oligosaccharides.
AIMS Comparison of in vitro fermentation properties of commercial prebiotic oligosaccharides. METHODS AND RESULTS Populations of predominant gut bacterial groups were monitored over 24 h of batch culture through fluorescent in-situ hybridization. Short-chain fatty acid and gas production were also measured. All prebiotics increased the numbers of bifidobacteria and most decreased clostridia. ...
متن کاملThe effect of lactulose, pectin, arabinogalactan and cellulose on the production of organic acids and metabolism of ammonia by intestinal bacteria in a faecal incubation system.
An in vitro faecal incubation system was used to study the metabolism of complex carbohydrates by intestinal bacteria. Homogenates of human faeces were incubated anaerobically with added lactulose, pectin, the hemicellulose arabinogalactan, and cellulose, both before and after subjects had been pre-fed each carbohydrate. Fermentation of added substrate was assessed by the production of short-ch...
