Comparison of Yacon (<i>Smallanthus sonchifolius</i>) Tuber with Commercialized Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) in Terms of Physiology, Fermentation Products and Intestinal Microbial Communities in Rats

open access: yesBioscience of Microbiota, Food and Health, 2013
The yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) tuber was examined with regard to its prebiotic effects compared with commercialized fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). A feed containing 10% yacon tuber, which is equivalent to 5% commercialized FOS in terms of the amount of fructo-oligosaccharides (GF2, GF3 and GF4), was administrated to rats for 28 days.

Safety of 3′‐sialyllactose (3′‐SL) sodium salt produced with a derivative strain (Escherichia coli K‐12 MG1655 INB‐3SL_01) of E. coli K‐12 MG1655 (ATCC 700926) as a novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on 3′‐sialyllactose (3′‐SL) sodium salt as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF is mainly composed of the human‐identical milk oligosaccharide (HiMO) 3′‐SL (sodium salt),
