Advances in the in vitro digestion and fermentation of polysaccharides

Yuxi Guo et al.

Summary: In vitro digestion models are commonly used to study the digestion and release of food components under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Compared to in vivo digestion tests, in vitro digestion is advantageous due to its time efficiency, cost-effectiveness, reproducibility, and lack of moral and ethical restrictions. This study reviewed recent research on in vitro digestion of polysaccharides, focusing on the oral, gastric, and intestinal digestion models, to provide a basis for further evaluation of changes in polysaccharides before and after digestion.
