TL;DR: It is concluded that human faecal material is a practical source of micro-organisms to evaluate the fermentation properties of substrates.
Abstract: 1. Homogenized and diluted faeces (66.6 g/l) collected from one human source on three different months was incubated with four standard substrates (oat bran, wheat bran, red kidney beans (Phuseolus vulgaris) and guar gum) for 4, 8, 12 and 24 h. 2. Neutral-detergent fibre and organic matter (OM) digestibility measurements and gas production (ml gas/g OM) were influenced by substrate and incubation period but not by day of collection. 3. Production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) (mmol/g OM) was a function of substrate and incubation period but not day of collection at 4, 8 and 12 h. Rapidly fermentable substrates such as red kidney beans and guar gum did not ferment beyond 12 h and SCFA values were not different at 24 h. 4. Substrates differed in amount, rate and type of SCFA produced. 5. The results indicate that human faeces collected on different occasions were sufficiently uniform to yield similar in vitro fermentation findings among collections. Therefore, it is concluded that human faecal material is a practical source of micro-organisms to evaluate the fermentation properties of substrates.

TL;DR: In this article, the rheological behavior of xanthanguar gum systems has been investigated and compared to that of xanthanlocust bean gum mixtures using oscillatory shear and creep-recovery measurements.

TL;DR: The results of the study show that matrix tablets containing either 20% or 30% of guar gum are most likely to provide targeting of mebendazole for local action in the colon.

TL;DR: The thermal denaturation of bovine serum albumin (BSA), lysozyme and whey protein isolate (WPI) in the presence of hydrocolloids (pectin, guar gum, ι -carrageenan) was investigated in this article.
