Fate of fructo-oligosaccharides in the human intestine [PDF]
There is a need for studies on colonic fermentation in order to learn more abouthealth and diseases of the colon. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the fate of twodifferent doses of fructo-oligosaccharides (5 and 15 g/d) v. glucose in the intestine of healthy men. Twenty-four volunteers participated in a 5-weekstudy.

Sucrose and glucose reduction using fructo-oligosaccharides and xylitol in pectin jelly candy [PDF]
Confectioneries contain high amounts of sugar. High consumption frequency of candies may lead to various health risks. Sugar in jelly candy can be substituted with fructo-oligosaccharides and xylitol as a healthy sugar.

Evolution of Fructans in Aguamiel (Agave Sap) During the Plant Production Lifetime
Aguamiel is the sap collected from agave, while pulque is the result of the natural fermentation of aguamiel. Despite its ancestral origin and numerous publications on pulque production, little is known about the evolution and concentration of sugars and

Microbial co-culturing strategies for fructo-oligosaccharide production [PDF]
Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) mixtures produced by fermentation contain large amounts of non-prebiotic sugars. Here we propose a mixed culture of Aureobasidium pullulans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells to produce FOS and consume the small saccharides simultaneously, thereby increasing FOS purity in the mixture. The use of immobilised A.

Synthesis of fructo-oligosaccharides using grape must and sucrose as raw materials [PDF]
Grape must market has been rising and there is an increasing interest to use it as a natural replacement for traditional sugars. Food or beverages with prebiotic compounds, including fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), emerge as an alternative for the new ...

Synthesis of several fructo-oligosaccharides by asparagus fructosyltransferases. [PDF]
Nine fructo-oligosaccharides, synthesized in vitro from sucrose by an enzyme preparation from asparagus roots, were isolated and their structures were elucidated to be 1F (1-β-fructo-furanosyl)n sucrose [n=1 (1-kestose), 2 (nystose) and 3], 6G (1-β-fructofuranosyl)n, sucrose [n=1 (neokestose), 2 and 3] and 1F (1-β-fructofuranosyl)m 6G (1-β ...

Flavanol monomer-induced changes to the human faecal microflora [PDF]
We have investigated the bacterial-dependent metabolism of ( − )-epicatechin and (+)-catechin using a pH-controlled, stirred, batch-culture fermentation system reflective of the distal region of the human large intestine.
