“…Consequently, dietary fibre is being employed in a variety of functional meals, including baked goods, beverages, meat products, and drinks (Chau and Huang, 2003;Dhingra et al, 2012). The nitrogen-free extract (NFE), the second-highest proximate component of GLP and purportedly representing the soluble carbohydrates of the GLP, is similarly beneficial nutritionally because, by implication, GLP could be useful as a source of energy for animals and humans (Bach Knudsen et al, 2013). The crude fibre (42.93%) and NFE (36.46%) of GLP in this study are at variance with the 16.95% and 49.58%, respectively reported for Anacardium occidentale leaf (Oloruntola 2021).…”

The objective of this study is to identify the proximate composition, phytochemical profile, and anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of Gossypium herbaceum leaf powder (GLP). The fresh leaves of the G. herbaceum were collected, cleansed with fresh water, drained and allowed to dry in the shade, ground to GLP and analysed. The crude fibre (42.93%) and nitrogen-free extract (36.46 %) have a relatively high proportion in GLP; while ash (2.47%) has the lowest proportion. The GLP has relatively high phenol (219.20 mg/g) when compared to flavonoids (81.03 mg/g), tannins (69.56 mg/g), saponins (66.67 mg/g) and alkaloids (55.80 mg/g). The α-amylase inhibition and α-glucosidase inhibition of GLP were 48.45% and 30.68%, respectively. The percentage of albumin denaturation inhibition and anti-proteinase activity of GLP was 22.88% and 43.87%, respectively. The lipid peroxidation inhibition, vitamin C, Fe chelation and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl were 35.43%, 23.87%, 11.76% and 88.16%, respectively. GLP exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and antioxidant properties.

“…Fibers with low and high viscosities contributed to slow and rapid fermentation and SCFA production, respectively, by variably affecting digesta transit ( 30 ). Furthermore, DF combines with water to form a colloidal suspension, which is known as the water-holding capacity ( 31 ). Water-holding capacity, to some extent, determines swelling, that is, the solubilization and dispersion by the surrounding water of the DF structure ( 32 ).…”

Intestinal health is closely associated with overall animal health and performance and, consequently, influences the production efficiency and profit in feed and animal production systems. The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is the main site of the nutrient digestive process and the largest immune organ in the host, and the gut microbiota colonizing the GIT plays a key role in maintaining intestinal health. Dietary fiber (DF) is a key factor in maintaining normal intestinal function. The biological functioning of DF is mainly achieved by microbial fermentation, which occurs mainly in the distal small and large intestine. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), the main class of microbial fermentation metabolites, are the main energy supply for intestinal cells. SCFAs help to maintain normal intestinal function, induce immunomodulatory effects to prevent inflammation and microbial infection, and are vital for the maintenance of homeostasis. Moreover, because of its distinct characteristics (e.g. solubility), DF is able to alter the composition of the gut microbiota. Therefore, understanding the role that DF plays in modulating gut microbiota, and how it influences intestinal health, is essential. This review gives an overview of DF and its microbial fermentation process, and investigates the effect of DF on the alteration of gut microbiota composition in pigs. The effects of interaction between DF and the gut microbiota, particularly as they relate to SCFA production, on intestinal health are also illustrated.

“…Carbohydrates represent a diverse group of simpler monosaccharides and disaccharides to complex organized polysaccharides which form cell walls [1]. Depending on their chemical form (e.g., linkages between carbohydrate components), carbohydrates are degraded by either endogenous or microbial enzymes, thus having a great impact on the site of their digestion and how they influence the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract [2].…”

Bacterial fermentation of undigested carbohydrates in the hindgut has considerable potential for the stimulation or inhibition of the growth of distinct bacteria within microbiota. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether high levels of rye affect porcine gut microbiota composition with subsequent effects on the load of Salmonella Typhimurium, an intestinal pathogen with zoonotic relevance. Therefore, forty-two 25-day-old piglets were allocated to two groups and fed a diet containing either 69% wheat or 69% rye for 35 days. One week after introducing the two different diets, the piglets were experimentally infected with Salmonella Typhimurium. The microbiota composition of cecal and fecal samples of the piglets were evaluated 28 days after infection. In the cecum, promoted growth of Bifidobacterium, several lactic acid bacteria and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii were seen in pigs fed the diet containing 69% rye. Bacterial species belonging to the genera Bifidobacterium and Catenisphaera were associated with differing bacterial counts of Salmonella Typhimurium detected in the cecal contents of all piglets in both feeding groups via cultural cultivation. The high intake of rye instead of wheat seems to promote the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria accompanied by impaired growth conditions for the foodborne pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium.
