Abstract

Abstract: In vitro digestion of curdlan oligosaccharides (COSs), pullulan oligosaccharides (POSs), xanthan gum oligosaccharides (XGOSs) and gellan gum oligosaccharides (GGOSs) was investigated. These four oligosaccharides showed resistance to simulated saliva and gastric and small intestinal fluid. In further fermentation with faecal microbiota from healthy subjects and type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, COS fermentation significantly increased the abundance of Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp. and the production of short-chain fatty acids in healthy and T2D groups. Digestion of XGOS enhanced the growth of the Clostridium leptum subgroup and significantly increased butyric acid production in healthy and T2D groups. Sole fermentation with COS, POS, XGOS and GGOS exhibited different metabolic profiles between healthy and T2D groups, and more small molecule polyols were produced in the T2D group than in the healthy group. This study provides a novel perspective on the reconstruction of gut microbiota and metabolism by POS, COS, GGOS and XGOS intervention.
