Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are fructose oligomers that beneficial to human health and nutrition for being prebiotic sugars. Their production occurs by a transfructosylation reaction in sucrose molecules catalyzed fructosyltransferase enzymes (FTase, E.C.2.4.1.9) adhered microbial cells. The purpose of this work was study the preparation, enzymatic activity, stability glutaraldehyde-crosslinke...

This study was designed to evaluate the changes number of cells two selected probiotic bacteria, B. longum TISTR2195 and L. plantarum TISTR1465, yeast S. cerevisiae TISTR8656. The microorganisms were cultured in types media, namely selective media protein base model. Selective divided into 4 sub-groups: with 2% glucose added as a positive control (i), inulin (ii), fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) (...

Objective: To assess if prebiotics at different concentrations can accelerate the growth of selected probiotic bacterial strains. Materials and methods: Enterococcus (E.) faecium NCIMB 10415 E1707 was chosen as it is the most common probiotic strain used for small animals. In addition, E. faecium NCIMB 30183, Bifidobacterium (B.) longum NCIMB 30182 and B. infantis NCIMB 30181 were tested. They ...

Abstract Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) can be used as feed prebiotics, but are limited by high production costs. In this study, low-cost sugarcane molasses was to produce whole-cell biocatalysts containing transfructosylating enzymes Aureobasidium pullulans FRR 5284, followed FOS from using the whole-cells of A. . in molasses-based medium produced cells and broth with a total activity 123.6 U/mL...

Fructooligosaccharides are prebiotics with numerous health benefits within which the improvement of gut microbiota balance can be highlighted, playing a key role in individual health. In this study, an integrated one-stage method for FOS production via sucrose fermentation by Aureobasidium pullulans was developed and optimized using experimental design tools. Optimization of temperature and agi...

Olive pomace is a biowaste rich in polyphenols and insoluble dietary fibre with high potential to develop new value chains towards sustainable circular bioeconomy. Regarding gut health, olive phenolics (after possible fermentation) could act as antioxidants, antimicrobial prebiotic agents. These beneficial effects on the were analysed for two powders from pomace: liquid-enriched powder (LOPP) -...

The current study used an in-vitro technique to evaluate the functional potential of Dioscorea alata L. and D. bulbifera extracts as prebiotics. Prebiotics are nondigestible carbohydrates that undergo a selective fermentation process in gut benefit host, according Gibson Roberfroid 1995. Many wild edible plants high utilised both staple food medicine for variety stomach-related disorders. This ...

Whole grain rice is a rich source of fiber, nutrients, and phytochemicals that may promote gastrointestinal health, but such beneficial components are typically removed with the bran during polishing. Soluble feruloylated arabinoxylan oligosaccharides (FAXO) and polyphenols (RBPP) isolated from rice bran are hypothesized to have positive impacts on human gut microbiota through a prebiotic funct...
