Fermentation properties and prebiotic potential of different pectins and their corresponding enzymatic hydrolysates

Xiaoyu Guo et al.

Summary: This study compared the fermentability of pectins and their enzymatic-hydrolysates from different sources by pig faecal microbiota in vitro. It was found that all pectins and their corresponding oligomers were highly fermentable and promoted the production of health-promoting short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). The okra pectin, with a unique branched structure, exhibited higher prebiotic potential, leading to higher levels of SCFAs-producing bacteria and beneficial SCFAs molecules, and lower abundance of pathogenic bacteria. This study highlighted the targeted manipulation of the gut microbiome by pectin and its potential for personalized nutrition.
