A controlled study with eight healthy free-living subjects was carried out, in which energy intake was adjusted to the individual energy requirements. On administration of inulin, blood lipids, the faecal microflora, short-chain fatty acids and accompanying gastrointestinal symptoms were characterized in order to investigate the long-term effect of inulin. During the run-in phase (8 d), subject...

effects of plant density and harvest time on various two ecotype and one variety of chicory was examined at qazvin sugar factory research station in 2012. three genotype of chicory (two ecotypes of zanjan and kashan and one denveloped variety named orchis) with three plant densities (6, 12, and 18 plants/m2) and three harvest dates (31 august and 20 september and 11 october) were considered usi...

BACKGROUND Bacterial intestinal glucosidases exert an important role in isoflavone absorption. Insoluble dietary fibers such as inulin may stimulate the growth of these bacteria in the colon and, hence, stimulate the absorption of these substances in subjects who may need isoflavone supplementation. OBJECTIVE The objective was to assess the influence of inulin on plasma isoflavone concentrati...

The present study investigates the effects of different routes of inulin administration as prebiotic on gut microbiota and survival rate of Indian white shrimp post-larvae. Four hundred and fifty Indian white shrimp post-larvae (PL1) were stocked in nine tanks. The tanks were assigned into three treatments: feeding with inulin-treated (110 mg L-1) Artemia nauplii ...

The effect of different levels of inulin (0, 1.5 and 3 %) and probiotic bacteria including Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei on chemical properties (pH and titratable acidity) and viable count of probiotic strain of sweet cream during 30 days for 15-day interval at 4°C were studied. All experiments were carried out in three replications. The results showed that...

Shannon and Smith (1) found that in normal man, the rate of excretion of inulin was directly proportional to its concentration in plasma when the latter varied from 50 to 400 mg. per cent. Later Miller, Alving, and Rubin (2). extended these observations to plasma concentrations of inulin between 3 and 96 mg. per cent and reached similar conclusions. Both groups considered that this constituted ...
