“…Oligosaccharides are a wide range of polysaccharide components known for their prebiotic properties via growth stimulation of selected gut microbiota bacterial species which confers several health benefits to the host (Singh, Banerjee, & Arora, 2015). In contrast, maintaining an adequate xylose:arabinose proportion is a key factor in the way they can act as selective gut bacteria growth stimulators for the general improvement of the gastrointestinal health (Singh et al, 2015). Taking into consideration, these properties and their marketable value, both P. edulis juice and leaves extract can be conceived as functional products with richness in oligosaccharides.…”

The fruits consumption is highly associated with a lessening in the risk of the chronic noncommunicable diseases. Despite their content of bioactive compounds, physiological conditions might affect their bioaccessibility and biological potential. Hence, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the bioaccessibility and in vitro antioxidant capacity of bioactive compounds (polyphenols, ascorbic acid, and mono/oligosaccharides) from passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) juice and leaves extracts (PJE and PLE, respectively) during an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. PLE exhibited the highest overall bioaccessibility of phenolics and mono/oligosaccharides. Ascorbic acid and kaempferol were the most bioaccessible (up to 12‐ and 13‐fold, respectively) compounds and showed the highest net permeabilities (0.32–34.65 × 10–5). Chlorogenic acid, quercetin, and xylose showed the highest correlation with the antioxidant capacity (ABTS/DPPH methods). These results indicated the ability of digestion to improve bioaccessibility and antioxidant capacity of bioactives compounds from P. edulis extracts. Practical applications Several international organizations, World Health Organization (WHO) among them, are actively encouraging an increase in the fruit and vegetable intake worldwide in response to the global rise in noncommunicable diseases, among other actions. Fruits and processed foods are increasingly used in the European food industry. Additionally, exotic and tropical fruits cannot be produced in the European Union, which opens up a variety of opportunities for our Colombian tropical fruits such as mango or exotic fruits such as passion fruit. Evaluating parameters such as bioaccessibility and intestinal permeability of these bioactives derived from both P. edulis juice and leaves extracts contributes with new evidence regarding their stability along the gastrointestinal tract and their consumption as a source of health‐promoting compounds. The results of this research are an important achievement on the way to make the transition from basic to applied research. Informing the health benefits of this tropical fruit can stimulate its demand.

“…NDOs have generated considerable interest because they possess low energy value and dietary fiber effects. NDOs are present in many vegetables, such as chicory, onion, and garlic, as well as in other foods, such as honey and milk. The production of NDOs from vegetable sources appears to be an alternative for obtaining NDOs with properties of DF.…”

In vitro fermentation of oligosaccharides obtained from enzymatic hydrolysis of Opuntia streptacantha mucilage

BACKGROUND Among Cactaceae, the genus Opuntia is widely known for the use of its biomass as cattle fodder and in human nutrition (e.g. species such as Opuntia ficus indica and Opuntia streptacantha). In particular, O. streptacantha (OS) produces abundant mucilage and, hence, the characterization of its properties and nutritional value is important. Accordingly, determination of the dietary fiber content of the OS mucilage and the fermentability of its hydrolysis products (oligosaccharides, OLI) is important for developing new uses of the crop as a functional food. RESULTS The values for insoluble dietary fiber and soluble dietary fiber in the mucilage were 204.6 and 371.6 g kg−1, respectively. After hydrolysis of OS mucilage with α‐amylase, three purified fractions of OLI were evaluated (OLI‐A, OLI‐B and OLI‐C). OLI (1% w/v) stimulated the growth of the commercial probiotic strains (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis) in vitro, showing behaviors similar to those of commercial inulin. The production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the fermentation broth was also determined. The final pH of the fermentation broth as well as the identification and concentrations of SCFA depended on the type of OLI and probiotic used. CONCLUSION The OS mucilage is an unconventional fiber source and can be used to produce non‐digestible OLI as functional compounds. This knowledge will be useful for proposing new sustainable ways of processing cacti crops for food and industrial purposes. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Xylan based films also possess good intrinsic barrier properties against polar migrants such as aromas (8). In addition, hemicelluloses are raw materials for oligosaccharides which act as potential prebiotics (9). Encapsulation applications of hemicelluloses are reported for food and pharmaceutical use (10,11).…”

Olive solid waste (OSW), the by-product of olive oil production process, is a lignocellulosic material with very low economic value. The hemicellulose fraction of OSW has a potential to be used as a raw material for several industrial applications. The main objective of the present work was to statistically develop an alkaline hemicellulose extraction procedure to achieve the highest possible crude hemicellulose extraction yield from OSW with concurrent efforts to lighten the colour of black hemicelluloses. Box-Behnken Design based response surface methodology was employed for optimization. The optimum hemicellulose extraction conditions were found as 19.3% (w/v) alkaline (KOH) concentration, 1.3 mm particle size, 25.3 h extraction time, 1% (w/v) MgSO 4 concentration, 6.4% (v/v) H 2 O 2 concentration and 60°C temperature. The maximum experimental hemicelluloses yield at this condition was 35.6±0.5% which is in agreement with the predicted yield value of 31.2%. As a result, the extraction yield has been increased from 21.7% to 35.6% (w/w). The colour values (L*,a*,b*) of hemicelluloses extracted at optimum conditions were predicted as 31.69±0.28, -2.90±0.04 and 5.49±0.04, sequentially. The findings of this study demonstrated the route for isolation of light-coloured OSW hemicelluloses that have potential for conversion into industrially important value-added products such as biodegradable plastics for food packaging applications and xylooligosaccharides.
