Linking expression of fructan active enzymes, cell wall invertases and sucrose transporters with fructan profiles in growing taproot of chicory (Cichorium intybus): Impact of hormonal and environmental cues

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
In chicory taproot, the inulin-type fructans serve as carbohydrate reserve. Inulin metabolism is mediated by fructan active enzymes (FAZYs): sucrose:sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase (1-SST; fructan synthesis), fructan:fructan-1-fructosyltransferase (1-FFT;

Combined oral intake of short and long fructans alters the gut microbiota in food allergy model mice and contributes to food allergy prevention

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background It has become clear that the intestinal microbiota plays a role in food allergies. The objective of this study was to assess the food allergy-preventive effects of combined intake of a short fructan (1-kestose [Kes]) and a long fructan (inulin

Microbial inulinase promotes fructan hydrolysis under simulated gastric conditions

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023
Fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) have emerged as key contributors to digestive discomfort and intolerance to certain vegetables, fruits, and plant-based foods.

The effect of a diet with fructan-rich chicory roots on intestinal helminths and microbiota with special focus on Bifidobacteria and Campylobacter in piglets around weaning [PDF]

, 2010
The restrictions on the use of antibiotic and anthelmintic treatments in organic pig farming necessitate alternative non-medical control strategies.

Functional and Molecular Characterization of the Halomicrobium sp. IBSBa Inulosucrase

Microorganisms, 2021
Fructans are fructose-based (poly)saccharides with inulin and levan being the best-known ones. Thanks to their health-related benefits, inulin-type fructans have been under the focus of scientific and industrial communities, though mostly represented by ...

Fructan exohydrolase from grasses [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1993
SUMMARYIn grasses, fructan reserves are mobilized from vegetative plant parts during seasonal growth, after defoliation during grazing and from stems during seed filling. Well‐illuminated leaves show a diurnal pattern of fructan accumulation during the light and mobilization during the dark. In expanding leaves, fructans are accumulated in cells of the

The effect of fructan-enriched diet on bone turnover parameters in ovariectomized rats under calcium restriction

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2020
Introduction Osteoporosis, the “quiet epidemic”, is one of the most serious threats to public health. It is known that estrogen plays a significant role in the regulation of bone turnover, and its loss at menopause causes osteoporosis.

Chemoprevention of aberrant crypt foci in the colon of rats by dietary onion [PDF]

, 2007
Onion intake might reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, according to epidemiology. However, Femia showed in 2003 that diets with a 20% onion intake increase carcinogenesis in rats. We speculated this dose was too high.

Exogenous classic phytohormones have limited regulatory effects on fructan and primary carbohydrate metabolism in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Fructans are polymers of fructose and one of the main constituents of water-soluble carbohydrates in forage grasses and cereal crops of temperate climates.
