This chapter describes the various compounds that can act as prebiotic fibers: their structure, occurrence, production, and physiological effects (health effects) will be presented. The basis for the description is the latest definitions for dietary fibers and for prebiotics. Using as much as possible data from human studies, both the fiber and the prebiotic properties will be described of a variety of compounds. Based on the presented data the latest developments in the area of prebiotics, fibers and gut and immune health will be discussed in more detail as they show best what the potential impact of prebiotics on health of the human host might be.
将介绍它们的结构、存在形式、生产方式及其生理效应（对健康的影响）。描述的依据是膳食纤维和益生元的最新定义。将尽可能使用来自人体研究的数据，描述多种化合物的纤维特性和益生元特性。基于所呈现的数据，将更详细地讨论益生元、纤维以及肠道与免疫健康领域的最新进展，因为它们最能体现益生元对人类宿主健康可能产生的潜在影响。
