Journal ArticleDOI
PCR-DGGE-based quantification of stability of the microbial community in a simulator of the human intestinal microbial ecosystem
TL;DR: The combination of PCR-DGGE with moving window correlation with a stability criterion proved to be an efficient approach to quantitatively evaluate the stability of the in vitro cultured intestinal microbial community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arabinoxylans and inulin differentially modulate the mucosal and luminal gut microbiota and mucin-degradation in humanized rats

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that next to IN, LC-AX are promising prebiotic compounds by stimulating production of health-promoting metabolites by specific microbes in the proximal regions, so that prebiotics may potentially improve gut health along the entire length of the intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI
The intestinal microbiome: a separate organ inside the body with the metabolic potential to influence the bioactivity of botanicals.
TL;DR: This review describes how the incorporation of microbial metabolism as an important variable in the evaluation of the final bioactivity of botanicals strongly increases the relevance and predictive value of the outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria and chocolate: a successful combination for probiotic delivery.
TL;DR: Data indicate that the coating of the probiotics in chocolate is an excellent solution to protect them from environmental stress conditions and for optimal delivery, and could act as a trigger for new research to identify new balanced matrices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gut metabotypes govern health effects of dietary polyphenols.
TL;DR: Based on accurate measurements of intake, exposure and effect on carefully selected samples, the physiological relevance of dietary polyphenols can be evaluated for each metabotype and will lead to predictive modeling and the development of (personalized) functional foods and other nutraceuticals with maximized health benefits.
