Effect of xylo-oligosaccharide supplementation on some performance characteristics of broiler diets contaminated with Aflatoxin-B1 [PDF]
Aflatoxins, toxic metabolites produced by fungi in grains, cause economic losses and health problems in the poultry industry. This study investigates the protective effectiveness of xylo-oligosaccharides (0.4% and 0.8% g/kg) in mitigating the adverse ...

An unusual xylan in Arabidopsis primary cell walls is synthesised by GUX3, IRX9L, IRX10L and IRX14. [PDF]
Xylan is a crucial component of many plant primary and secondary cell walls. However, the structure and function of xylan in the dicotyledon primary cell wall is not well understood.

Xylo-Oligosaccharide Preparation through Enzyme Hydrolysis of Hemicelluloses Isolated from Press Lye
The emerging food additive, xylo-oligosaccharide (XOSs), was prepared through enzymatic hydrolysis of hemicelluloses isolated from press lye. Two of the three experimental enzyme preparations presented favourable effects, while the other one consisting ...

Effect of prebiotic or probiotic supplementation and ileo rectal anastomosis on intestinal morphology of weaned piglets [PDF]
Forty eight 21 days old piglets were used to compare the effect of prebiotic or probiotic supplementation and ileo rectal anastomosis on the morphology of the small intestine. Half of the piglets were maintained intact and the other half was subjected to

Enzymatically-synthesized xylo-oligosaccharides laurate esters as surfactants of interest
Lipase-catalyzed synthesis of xylo-oligosaccharides esters from pure xylobiose, xylotriose and xylotetraose in the presence of vinyl laurate was investigated. The influence of different experimental parameters such as the loading of lipase, the reaction duration or the use of a co-solvent was studied and the reaction conditions were optimized with ...

Acid-modified clays as green catalysts for the hydrolysis of hemicellulosic oligosaccharides [PDF]
The hydrolysis of hemicellulosic oligosaccharides (OS) was investigated using acid-activated clays (prepared from natural Porto Santo montmorillonite clay) as catalysts. Acid activation was performed in HCl solution or with aluminium exchange.

Xylo-Oligosaccharides, Preparation and Application to Human and Animal Health: A Review [PDF]
Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) are considered as functional oligosaccharides and have great prebiotic potential. XOS are the degraded products of xylan prepared via chemical, physical or enzymatic degradation. They are mainly composed of xylose units linked by β-1, 4 bonds.
