To evaluate the fermentation properties of oligosaccharides derived from pectins and their parent polysaccharides, a 5-ml-working-volume, pH- and temperature-controlled fermentor was tested. Six pectic oligosaccharides representing specific substructures found within pectins were prepared. These consisted of oligogalacturonides (average degrees of polymerization [DP] of 5 and 9), methylated oligogalacturonides (average DP of 5), oligorhamnogalacturonides (average DP of 10 as a disaccharide unit of galacturonic acid and rhamnose), oligogalactosides (average DP of 5), and oligoarabinosides (average DP of 6). The influence of these carbohydrates on the human fecal microbiota was evaluated. Use of neutral sugar fractions resulted in an increase in Bifidobacterium populations and gave higher organic acid yields. The Bacteroides-Prevotella group significantly increased on all oligosaccharides except oligogalacturonides with an average DP of 5. The most selective substrates for bifidobacteria were arabinan, galactan, oligoarabinosides, and oligogalactosides.
为了评估果胶及其母体多糖衍生的低聚糖的发酵特性,我们测试了一个 5 毫升工作体积、pH 值和温度可控的发酵罐。我们制备了 6 种果胶低聚糖,它们代表了果胶中存在的特定亚结构。这些低聚糖包括寡半乳糖醛酸(聚合度[DP]平均为 5 和 9)、甲基化寡半乳糖醛酸(DP 平均为 5)、寡鼠李半乳糖醛酸(作为半乳糖醛酸和鼠李糖的二糖单位,DP 平均为 10)、寡半乳糖苷(DP 平均为 5)和寡阿拉伯糖苷(DP 平均为 6)。我们评估了这些碳水化合物对人类粪便微生物群的影响。使用中性糖馏分导致双歧杆菌种群增加,并产生更高的有机酸产量。除 DP 平均为 5 的寡半乳糖醛酸外,拟杆菌-普雷沃氏菌组在所有低聚糖上均显著增加。双歧杆菌最具选择性的底物是阿拉伯聚糖、半乳聚糖、寡阿拉伯糖苷和寡半乳糖苷。
