摘要:
The present invention is directed to a novel method for increasing the production of acetate, decreasing the production of butyrate, increasing the population and species of beneficial bacteria and slowing the rate of fermentation of prebiotics within the gut of a formula-fed infant. The method comprises administration of a therapeutically effective amount of PDX to the infant.
摘要:
A method for evaluating or quantifying the prebiotic capability of a fiber or for identifying a prebiotic substance, which comprises (a) a step of evaluating or quantifying the effect by the tested fiber or substance on the growth and/or modification of faecal bacterial population, and (b) a step of quantifying at least one product resulting from the fermentation of the tested fiber or substance and/or a step of quantifying the rate of assimilation of the tested fiber or substance.
摘要:
The invention concerns the prebiotic effects of dark fruit and their juices such as blackcurrant, cranberry and pomegranate juices. The invention is also directed to the use of the a dark fruit or dark fruit juice for manufacture of an orally ingestable composition to promote health by promoting the growth of beneficial gut microflora. The beverage can be made from one or more dark fruit juices, in combination with other prebiotics and various other ingredients.
摘要:
Novel strains of Bifidobacterium hifidum capable of producing a novel galactosidase enzyme activity that converts lactose to a novel mixture of galactooligosaccharides. The mixture of oligosaccharidcs may be incorporated into numerous food products or animal feeds for improving gut health by promoting the growth of bifidobacteria in the gut, and repressing the growth of the pathogenic microflora.
