Abstract

The fermentation behaviour of sulfated polysaccharides (GLP) and their agaro-oligosaccharides (GLO) derived from Gracilaria lemaneiformis were examined. During in vitro fermentation, GLP and GLO increased the concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and modulated the composition and diversity of gut microorganisms compared with control groups. GLP increased the abundance of Bacteroidetes and decreased the abundance of Firmicutes, while GLO increased the abundance of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. Moreover, the abundances of potential pathogenic bacteria were reduced. Molecular weight and intrinsic viscosity of GLP decreased significantly from 2.15 × 105 to 1.22 × 105 Da, 374.45-113.91 mL/g, respectively. Furthermore, GLP was degraded into smaller degree of polymerization of oligosaccharides, with no significant change observed in GLO. Overall, this study revealed GLP and GLO could be beneficial for gastrointestinal tract by producing SCFAs and modulating intestinal microbes, indicating GLP and GLO are potentially sources of prebiotics in functional foods.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
