Even though there are many factors that determine the human colon microbiota composition,
diet is an important one because most microorganisms in the colon obtain energy for their …

Although in vitro studies to identify interactions between food components and the colonic
microbiota employ distinct methods to mimic upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract digestion, the …

Though the physical structuring of insoluble dietary fiber sources may strongly impact their
processing by microbiota in the colon, relatively little mechanistic information exists to explain …

Epidemiological studies propose a protective role for dietary fiber in colon cancer (CRC).
One possible mechanism of fiber is its fermentation property in the gut and ability to change …

Background Variability in the health effects of dietary fiber might arise from inter-individual
differences in the gut microbiota’s ability to ferment these substrates into beneficial metabolites…

When presented with nutrient mixtures, several human gut Bacteroides species exhibit
hierarchical utilization of glycans through a phenomenon that resembles catabolite repression. …

Delivering fibers more distally could be important to prevent or treat colonic diseases such
as cancer and ulcerative colitis. Here, we hypothesized that fermentation of fast-fermenting …

The capability to maintain cell wall integrity is critical for plants to adapt to unfavourable
conditions. l‐Arabinose (Ara) is a constituent of several cell wall polysaccharides and many cell …

The chemical structures of soluble fiber carbohydrates vary from source to source due to
numerous possible linkage configurations among monomers. However, it has not been …

Dietary fibre (DF) profiles of natural hazelnut, roasted hazelnut and hazelnut skin were
analyzed. Insoluble (IDF) and soluble (SDF) DFs were examined for monosaccharide and …
