“…However, tolerance and especially the turning point of acceptable to unacceptable intestinal discomfort are very subjective. Therefore, an 'acceptable dose' is hard to evaluate (Roberfroid & Slavin, 2000), and this was done by a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge. Tolerance, dietary habits and effects of different dosages of NUTRIOSE s FB on hunger and satiety feelings were estimated by questionnaires and visual analogue rating scales.…”

“…There are considerable numbers of researches investigating dietary fiber from new sources to use in food industry as a source of prebiotic (Roberfroid & Slavin, 2000;Singh & Singh, 2010;Torres, Goncalves, Teixeira, & Rodrigues, 2010). Non-digestible polysaccharides such as galacto-oligosaccharides, fructooligo-saccharides and cyclodextrins are known to be prebiotic substances which selectively stimulate the growth and/or activity of the gastrointestinal micro-flora (Gibson, Probert, Loo, Rastall, & Roberfroid, 2004).…”

This study investigated the capability and efficiency of flaxseed soluble dietary fibre /mucilage to enhance bacterial survival and growth in kefir as well as the antioxidant activity of the mucilage. Crude flaxseed mucilage was extracted using a microwave method, followed by enzymatic and dialysis treatments to obtain pure mucilage. The antioxidant activities of the pure and crude mucilage were measured using different assays. Microbial analyses, pH and total titratable acidity (TTA) were measured in kefir samples, supplemented with probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis) and pure or crude flaxseed mucilage during 28 cold storage periodat 4 ºC. The results showed that for all kefir samples, the total bacteria counts were above7.9 log cfu/mL at the end of cold storage period. However, kefir samples supplemented with pure flaxseed mucilage enhanced significantly (P < 0.05) higher viability of bacteria (9.5 log cfu/mL) and acidity (0.78% TTA). An overall pH decline of 0.2 was observed during cold storage period. The total phenolic content (TPC) in crude mucilage was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than pure mucilage (10.5 ± 0.2 and 5.7 ± 0.1 mg Gallic acid equivalent /g flaxseed, respectively). The mucilage from crude flaxseed exhibited strong antioxidant activity; Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) value of 51.2 ± 3.3 μmol Trolox equivalent /g, 53.7 ± 2.8% discoloration for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and 68.3 ± 9.2% β-Carotene bleaching which was well in agreement with high TPC. This study demonstrated that flaxseed mucilage acts as a good source of prebiotic, enhancing lactic acid bacteria growth in kefir model in addition of their high antioxidant beneficiary.

“…Oligosaccharides contain a small number (two to about ten) of monosaccharide units, connected by glycosidic linkages, whereas polysaccharides contain more than ten monosaccharide units (78) . Accordingly, the molecular weight of polysaccharides is much higher than that of oligosaccharides (79) . Non-digestible oligosaccharides include inulin-type fructans, which are found naturally in small quantities in certain foods, such as Jerusalem artichoke, chicory root, banana, leeks, garlic, agave and onions (80) .…”

Potential anti-obesogenic properties of non-digestible carbohydrates: specific focus on resistant dextrin

Alterations in the composition and metabolic activity of the gut microbiota appear to contribute to the development of obesity and associated metabolic diseases. However, the extent of this relationship remains unknown. Modulating the gut microbiota with non-digestible carbohydrates (NDC) may exert anti-obesogenic effects through various metabolic pathways including changes to appetite regulation, glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammation. The NDC vary in physicochemical structure and this may govern their physical properties and fermentation by specific gut bacterial populations. Much research in this area has focused on established prebiotics, especially fructans (i.e. inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides); however, there is increasing interest in the metabolic effects of other NDC, such as resistant dextrin. Data presented in this review provide evidence from mechanistic and intervention studies that certain fermentable NDC, including resistant dextrin, are able to modulate the gut microbiota and may alter metabolic process associated with obesity, including appetite regulation, energy and lipid metabolism and inflammation. To confirm these effects and elucidate the responsible mechanisms, further well-controlled human intervention studies are required to investigate the impact of NDC on the composition and function of the gut microbiota and at the same time determine concomitant effects on host metabolism and physiology. (1) . In the UK population, it is estimated that 26 % of boys, 25 % of girls, 67 % of men and 57 % of women are currently overweight or obese (1) . Characterised by the accumulation of excess body fat, overweight and obesity are associated with a chronic low-grade systemic inflammation and other adverse metabolic effects. Consequently, the risk of pathologies including CVD, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, colon cancer, breast cancer, osteoarthritis, liver and gall bladder disease and reproductive dysfunction, are increased (2) . Overweight and obesity are also thought to increase the risk of common cognitive issues, such as anxiety and depression (3) . Population-based interventions to reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity are now implemented as part of wider public health strategies in the majority of developed countries worldwide. In the UK, the Department of Health aims to achieve, by 2020, a sustained downward trend in the level of excess weight in children and a downward trend in the level of excess weight averaged across all adults (4) . Such interventions focus primarily on encouraging healthier food choices and increasing physical activity; however, they must compete with the *Corresponding author: M. R.
