(SCFA: 95 ± 22 mmol/g FM; pH 6.9 ± 0.1 ).In conclusion, the supplementation of a diet with 5% algal fibre changes the physicochemical characteristics of the digesta according to the algal fibre properties in the digestive compartment considered. The extent of 5% algal fibre fermentation at different sites of large intestine influences significantly the production of SCFA and consequently the pH of digestive contents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
