Enhanced konjac glucomannan hydrolysis by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases and generating prebiotic oligosaccharides

Fei Li et al.

Summary: The LPMO from Pleurotus ostreatus efficiently depolymerizes KGM to produce oligosaccharides, which, when used as a carbon source, significantly promote the growth of probiotic bacteria and the production of SCFAs, leading to improved gastrointestinal health.

Microstructural changes during alkali- and heat induced gelation of konjac glucomannan

Tao Zhang et al.

Summary: The study investigated the structural changes of konjac glucomannan (KGM) during heat-induced gelation, revealing that gelation requires both heat and alkali-induced deacetylation. Deacetylation was found to be the rate-determining step in the process, leading to particle aggregation and interaction to form a network structure. This understanding was aided by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) results.

Konjac Oligosaccharides Modulate the Gut Environment and Promote Bone Health in Calcium-Deficient Mice

Tingyang Ai et al.

Summary: The study found that konjac oligosaccharides (KOS) intervention improved calcium balance, promoted trabecular number and cortical thickness, and enhanced skeletal mechanical strength in calcium-deficient mice. Additionally, specific gut microbial genera and metabolites were significantly associated with increased bone mass, demonstrating a potential link between prebiotics and bone health.
