Isomer-Specific Consumption of Galactooligosaccharides by Bifidobacterial Species [PDF]
Prebiotics are nondigestible substrates that stimulate the growth of beneficial microbes in the human intestine. Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are food ingredients that possess prebiotic properties, in particular, promoting the growth of bifidobacteria in situ.
