Metabolism of fructo-oligosaccharides by Bifidobacterium spp.

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1989
Bifidobacterium adolescentis ATCC 15703, B. longum ATCC 15707, and B. thermophilum ATCC 25525 were examined for the ability to grow with fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) as carbohydrate sources. The three species produced cell-associated β-fructosidases (inulinases) capable of hydrolysing FOS.

Production of fructo-oligosaccharides from molasses by Aureobasidium pullulans cells

Bioresource Technology, 2004
Three different strains of Aureobasidium pullulans were grown in batch cultures to compare their abilities for the production of fructo-oligosaccharides. Specific intracellular enzyme activity was the highest with strain KCCM 12017 and enzyme production was closely coupled to growth. Using A.

Bifidogenic properties of different types of fructo-oligosaccharides

Food Microbiology, 1994
Abstract Batch culture growth of eight species of bifidobacteria utilizing fructo-oligosaccharides was compared to that with glucose. In comparison to other saccharolytic colonic bacteria such as members of the Clostridium and Bacteroides genera, the bifidobacteria preferred fructans as a source of carbon and energy.

Fructo-oligosaccharides and skin inflammation

2012
The indigenous gut microbiota present early in life is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases including atopic dermatitis, and strategies to manipulate the gut microbiota in infancy have been considered in preventing the development of such diseases. Gut microbiota in breast-fed infants is dominated by bifidobacteria,

Fructo-Oligosaccharides and Calcium Absorption and Retention in Adolescent Girls

Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2010
Several studies have shown a positive effect of fructo-oligosaccharides on calcium absorption and retention in animals and humans. Effects of levels of these pre-biotics that can be functionally incorporated into manufactured foods, have not been studied in controlled feeding studies.This study was designed to evaluate the effect of 9 g/d of fructo ...

Effect of fructo‐oligosaccharide on nitrogen utilization in guinea pigs

Animal Science Journal, 2012
AbstractThe present study was conducted to determine the effects of fructo‐oligosaccharide (FOS) on the nitrogen (N) utilization and digestibilities of dietary nutrients through cecotrophy in guinea pigs. Adult male guinea pigs that were housed or not housed in wooden frames to prevent cecotrophy were fed a commercial pellet diet (50 g/day) with 3% and

Production of Fructo-Oligosaccharide-Rich Fructose Syrup

1993
ABSTRACT Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) have been shown to provide a variety of health benefits for humans and animals. We have developed a simple and rapid process for producing FOS-rich fructose syrup from Jerusalem artichoke tubers. The tuber fructans are extracted by heating thin tuber slices in water.

Bifidobacterium longum with Fructo-Oligosaccharides in Patients with Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 2011
Increased exposure to intestinal bacterial products may contribute to the pathogenesis of non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Bifidobacteria are predominant bacterial species in the human gut microbiota and have been considered to exert a beneficial effect on human health by maintaining the equilibrium of the resident microbiota.To evaluate the ...

Fructo-oligosaccharide synthesis by whole cells of Microbacterium paraoxydans

Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, 2016
Abstract The synthesis of fructo-oligosaccharides was carried out using whole cells of Microbacterium paraoxydans. Reactions were carried out using un-induced, inulin-induced and sucrose-induced cells displaying different amounts of invertase and inulinase activities out of which the best transfructosylation occurred using sucrose-induced cells ...
