Assessment of the Bifidogenic and Antibacterial Activities of Xylooligosaccharide
Xylooligosaccharide (XOS) is an attractive prebiotic mainly due to its bifidogenic effect. However, commercial XOS with different compositions is often applied in the food industry at different doses without specifications.
