Article Abstract
This study evaluated the impact of Artemisia sphaerocephala Krasch glucomannan with different degrees of acetyl group substitution (DS) on the prebiotic properties of grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSP). UV spectra, CIELab, and dynamic light scattering analyses indicated DS-influenced variable interactions between GSP and glucomannan. In vitro fermentation demonstrated that glucomannan enhanced the solubility of some phenolic compounds, and decreased the pH value of fermentation liquids. The production of acetate acid and total short chain fatty acids in the GSP fermentation liquid increased with the degree of DS of glucomannan. Notably, acetylated glucomannan exerted dramatic effects on GSP-induced gut microbiota modulation. The relative abundances of Bacteroides ovatus and Bacteroides decreased as DS increased. Meanwhile, Bacteroides acidifaciens and Akkermansia muciniphila have a positive correlation, even though the GSP-promoted enrichment of A. muciniphila was inhibited by the added glucomannan. Moreover, glucomannan enhanced the metabolism of nucleotides, secondary bile acid, and glycan inhibited by GSP. These findings suggest that acetylated glucomannan affect the prebiotic properties of GSP with its DS serving as a key factor.

Gastrointestinal eubiosis is essential for maintaining overall host wellbeing. Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) is a common issue in pig development, arising from weaning stress, which disrupts the gut microbiota balance and increases susceptibility to infections. The primary bacterial pathogen linked to PWD is enterotoxigenic (ETEC).

Unlabelled: Lactose intolerance is defined as the inability to digest lactose due to insufficient activity of the β-galactosidase enzyme, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose into glucose and galactose. This study evaluated the potential probiotic properties of isolated S8, which exhibiting high β-galactosidase activity. The strain demonstrated higher survival rate under gastrointestinal stress, with 80% and 63% viability after 3 h in simulated gastric fluid and 8 h in intestinal fluid, respectively, while retaining 60.

Vibrio infections cause enteritis in grouper fish, leading to high mortality and stunted growth, which is a major challenge for aquaculture. Oligochitosans, marine prebiotics with bioactive properties, have proven their potential for growth promotion and immune regulation. However, the impacts of Vibrio harveyi on the gut microbiome of grouper fish and the potential of oligochitosans to modulate these effects remain poorly understood.

The growing interest in prebiotic ingredients has led to the valorization of agri-food by-products, such as coffee silverskin, known for its richness in dietary fiber and health-promoting compounds. This study evaluated the impact of in vitro simulation of gastrointestinal digestion on the chemical composition (carbohydrates, caffeine, and chlorogenic acids) and prebiotic potential (probiotic growth, organic acid production, pH, and antioxidant activity) of milled coffee silverskin. The results show stability of polysaccharides during digestion, while caffeine and 5-caffeoylquinic acid were partially released into the bioaccessible fraction.
