Fructooligosaccharides (FOSs): A Condensed Overview

Compounds
FOSs are short-chain fructose-based oligosaccharides with notable functional and health benefits. Naturally present in various fruits and vegetables, FOSs are primarily produced enzymatically or microbially from sucrose or long-chain fructans, namely ...

Characterization of fructooligosaccharide metabolism and fructooligosaccharide-degrading enzymes in human commensal butyrate producers [PDF]

Gut Microbes, 2021
Butyrate produced by gut microbiota has multiple beneficial effects on host health, and oligosaccharides derived from host diets and glycans originating from host mucus are major sources of its production. A significant reduction of butyrate-producing bacteria has been reported in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancers ...

Fructooligosaccharide production by Penicillium expansum [PDF]

Biotechnology Letters, 2010
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) production by Penicillium expansum was evaluated. In a first stage, the best conditions for P. expansum growth and sporulation were established with potato/dextrose/agar being the most suitable medium at between 22 and 25 degrees C, giving good growth and good sporulation.

Biotechnological production and application of fructooligosaccharides [PDF]

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2014
Currently, prebiotics are all carbohydrates of relatively short chain length. One important group is the fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a special kind of prebiotic associated to the selective stimulation of the activity of certain groups of colonic bacteria.

Extracellular fructooligosaccharide degradation in Anaerostipes hadrus for co-metabolism with non-fructooligosaccharide utilizers

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2022
Butyrate producing bacteria are one of the major components of the human gut microbiota. Their major metabolite, butyrate, has several beneficial properties for host health. Fructooligosaccharides (FOSs) are well documented prebiotics and are hydrolyzed by intracellular glycoside hydrolase family 32 (GH32) enzyme in several butyrate producers, whereas ...
