“…RGB values were converted into hue -H-saturation -S-lightness -L-values using the following equation: H = Arctan [(1.73/2) (GB)]/[R À 0.5(G + B)], L = (R + G + B)/3, S = 1 -lowest value of any ratio: R/L, G/L, or B/L (Condezo-Hoyos, Mohanty, & Noratto, 2014;Medina, Skurtys, & Aguilera, 2010) and colour of the quinoa samples were represented in HSL space colour (polar graph). In addition, fractal colour parameter was determined using harmonic and fractal image analyser software HarFA 5.5.30 (http://www.fch.vutbr.cz/lectures/imagesci/).…”

“…Another in vitro model that is being used to evaluate the prebiotic activity of foods is the fermentation of animal or human feces added to the test food or extract [13,53] and it is also used for the purpose of evaluating the metabolism of fecal micro-organisms.…”

The interest in studying the prebiotic effect of foods is increasing due to the way in which the consumption of these foods influences the gut microbiota and how the metabolic activity of the microbiota affects the health and well-being of the host. Several in vitro and in vivo studies have been developed to elucidate the prebiotic effect of foods, and particularly in in vivo studies, the physiological dynamics of this effect has been studied in healthy or diseased individuals. In this chapter, the main in vitro and in vivo models developed for the study of the prebiotic potential of foods will be approached, which can be used by those planning to advance in this field of research.

“…However, health improvement was suggested to depend not on the total cumulative SCFA production but on the final SCFA ratios produced after fermentation. In addition, the assessment of fibers of different apple cultivars in an in vitro fermentation using microbiota from diet-induced obese mice by Condezo-Hoyos et al (2014) suggests that such compounds may help to stabilize disturbed microbiota in obese subjects. Furthermore, the normalization of the endocannabinoid (eCB) system has been shown to be achieved by prebiotic treatment.…”

Recently, a great deal of interest has been expressed regarding strategies to tackle worldwide obesity because of its accelerated wide spread accompanied with numerous negative effects on health and high costs. Obesity has been traditionally associated with an imbalance in energy consumed when compared to energy expenditure. However, growing evidence suggests a less simplistic event in which gut microbiota plays a key role. Obesity, in terms of microbiota, is a complicated disequilibrium that presents many unclear complications. Despite this, there is special interest in characterizing compositionally and functionally the obese gut microbiota with the help of in vitro, animal and human studies. Considering the gut microbiota as a factor contributing to human obesity represents a tool of great therapeutic potential. This paper reviews the use of antimicrobials, probiotics, fecal microbial therapy, prebiotics and diet to manipulate obesity through the human gut microbiota and reveals inconsistencies and implications for future study.
