Fermentation of fructooligosaccharides by lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria were screened of their ability to ferment fructooligosaccharides (FOS) on MRS agar. Of 28 strains of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria examined, 12 of 16 Lactobacillus strains and 7 of 8 Bifidobacterium strains fermented FOS. Only strains that gave a positive reaction by the agar method reached high cell densities in broth containing FOS.

Production of Inulinase by Fusarium sp. and its Application for Fructooligosaccharide Production for use as Prebiotics
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are useful due to their applications in food and pharmaceutical industry. Fusarium spp., isolated from dahlia rhizosphere, produced endoinulinases in a medium containing inulin or sucrose as carbon substrate. Characterisation of exo-inulinase and production of FOS were investigated. Temperature and pH optimum of the enzyme was found to be 60 °C and pH 6.0, respectiv...

In contrast to most expectations, we showed previously that dietary fructooligosaccharides (FOS) stimulate intestinal colonization and translocation of invasive Salmonella enteritidis in rats. Even before infection, FOS increased the cytotoxicity of fecal water, mucin excretion, and intestinal permeability. In the present study, we tested whether FOS has these effects in humans. A double-blind,...
