“…Regarding the genus Lactobacillus , which belongs to the Firmicutes phylum, two of the studies showed a decrease in this genre with the ingestion of Artemisa ordosica polysaccharide in rats [ 15 ] and Sargassum fusiforme polysaccharide in mice [ 88 ], while the rest of the studies in which this genus’ change was reported showed an increase in its relative abundance, following the ingestion of different carbohydrates. An increase was observed with the ingestion of pectin oligosaccharides in mice [ 24 ], bamboo-shaving polysaccharide in mice [ 105 ], Lycium barbarum polysaccharide in mice [ 91 ], mannan oligosaccharides in mice [ 95 ], oligosaccharides derived from dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus) in mice [ 104 ], maize bran oligosaccharides in rats [ 111 ] galactooligosaccharides in mice [ 113 ], and chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharide in mice [ 18 ]. These observations will be further discussed according to the type of each polysaccharide.…”

(1) Background: Carbohydrates are the most important source of nutritional energy for the human body. Carbohydrate digestion, metabolism, and their role in the gut microbiota modulation are the focus of multiple studies. The objective of this weight of evidence systematic review is to investigate the potential relationship between ingested carbohydrates and the gut microbiota composition at different taxonomic levels. (2) Methods: Weight of evidence and information value techniques were used to evaluate the relationship between dietary carbohydrates and the relative abundance of different bacterial taxa in the gut microbiota. (3) Results: The obtained results show that the types of carbohydrates that have a high information value are: soluble fiber with Bacteroides increase, insoluble fiber with Bacteroides and Actinobacteria increase, and Firmicutes decrease. Oligosaccharides with Lactobacillus increase and Enterococcus decrease. Gelatinized starches with Prevotella increase. Starches and resistant starches with Blautia decrease and Firmicutes increase. (4) Conclusions: This work provides, for the first time, an integrative review of the subject by using statistical techniques that have not been previously employed in microbiota reviews.

Sargassum plagiophyllum Extract Enhances Colonic Functions and Modulates Gut Microbiota in Constipated Mice

Constipation is a symptom that is widely found in the world’s population. Various dietary supplementations are used to relieve and prevent constipation. Seaweed is widely used for its health benefits. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of Sargassum plagiophyllum extract (SPE) on functions of the gastrointestinal tract and gut microbiota. The results show that SPE pretreatment increased the frequency of gut contraction, leading to reduce gut transit time. SPE pretreatment also significantly increased the secretion of Cl− and reduced Na+ absorption, increasing fecal water content in constipated mice (p < 0.05). In addition, the Bifidobacteria population in cecal contents was significantly higher in constipated mice pretreated with 500 mg/kg SPE for 14 days than in untreated constipated mice (p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that SPE can prevent constipation in loperamide-induced mice. This study may be useful for the development of human food supplements from S. plagiophyllum, which prevent constipation.

“…Oligosaccharides in dragon fruit demonstrated additional beneficiary effects on animal model in various studies. Peerakietkhajorn et al (2020)'s study demonstrated that dragon fruit oligosaccharides increased the probiotics population (Bifidobacteria, Lactobacilli) in proximal and distal colon of mice. Furthermore, Pansai et al (2019) found immune boosting properties of prebiotic dragon fruit oligosaccharides in animal model.…”

Introduction: The red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) is a popular fruit, not only where it originated from, in Central America, but across the world including in Asia. It contains healthy minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, and has been shown to have gut motility action in animals. Methods: To determine the effect of red dragon fruit on whole gut transit time, a cross-sectional study of whole gut transit time using two different stool markers was conducted among 128 young Malaysian adults. Results: Red dragon fruit, in a half fruit serving of 225±25 grams, reduced mean whole gut transit time from 26.0±12.9 hours to 21.9±12.8 hours (p<0.001) when colour change in stools was used as an indicator. The tests also showed that 14.8-17.3% of individuals had whole gut transit time ≥40 hours with carbon as a stool marker compared to only 7.8-8.6% when red dragon fruit was consumed and used as a marker. Conclusion: This study demonstrated a laxative effect of red dragon fruit among young adults.
