Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Understanding the interplay between functional and immunological responses inside animal or human gut as influenced by pectin in diets is provided, and this knowledge can be used to define preferred dietary pectins, targeting beneficial bacteria, and favoring balanced microbiota communities in the gut to maximize pECTins' health benefits.

Pectin and homogalacturonan with small molecular mass modulate microbial community and generate high SCFAs via in vitro gut fermentation.

TL;DR: In this article, fermentation properties of enzymatic-modified apple pectin and homogalacturonans with high, medium and low molecular weight (Mw) were evaluated by in vitro fermentation model, and their structural changes were also investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pectic polysaccharides: Targeting gut microbiota in obesity and intestinal health.

TL;DR: In this article , the structural characteristics of pectic polysaccharides and the functional correlation between their structure-specific characteristics and the modulatory activity of the gut microbiota are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inulin fructans in diet: Role in gut homeostasis, immunity, health outcomes and potential therapeutics.

TL;DR: Inulin consumption in both humans and animal models is recognized for its prebiotic action with the most consistent change that lies in enhancing the growth and functionality of Bifidobacterium bacteria, as well as its effect on host gene expression and metabolism as discussed by the authors .

Citrus pectin research advances: Derived as a biomaterial in the construction and applications of micro/nano-delivery systems

TL;DR: Citrus fruits are rich in pectin, phenolics, essential oils, and other bioactive properties, such as neutral sugar side chains, molecular weight, and degree of methyl-esterification, determine the functional properties as discussed by the authors .
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendrobium officinale leaf polysaccharides ameliorated hyperglycemia and promoted gut bacterial associated SCFAs to alleviate type 2 diabetes in adult mice

TL;DR: In this article , an ultra-filtration membrane was employed to separate two fractions from Dendrobium officinale leaf polysaccharide named LDOP-A and LDL-OP-B to alleviate glycolipid metabolic abnormalities, organ dysfunction and gut microbiota dysbiosis.

Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome

Curtis Huttenhower, +253 more
- 14 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: The Human Microbiome Project Consortium reported the first results of their analysis of microbial communities from distinct, clinically relevant body habitats in a human cohort; the insights into the microbial communities of a healthy population lay foundations for future exploration of the epidemiology, ecology and translational applications of the human microbiome as discussed by the authors.

Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome

Curtis Huttenhower, +247 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: The Human Microbiome Project has analysed the largest cohort and set of distinct, clinically relevant body habitats so far, finding the diversity and abundance of each habitat’s signature microbes to vary widely even among healthy subjects, with strong niche specialization both within and among individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbial cellulose utilization: fundamentals and biotechnology.

TL;DR: A concluding discussion identifies unresolved issues pertaining to microbial cellulose utilization, suggests approaches by which such issues might be resolved, and contrasts a microbially oriented cellulose hydrolysis paradigm to the more conventional enzymatically oriented paradigm in both fundamental and applied contexts.
