In vitro fermentation of Acacia senegal by fecal microbiota from lean donors to stimulate the growth of probiotic

Gum Arabic is believed to have many health benefits including prevention of gastrointestinal diseases. Prebiotic resist digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract and allowed for stimulation of bacterial growth in the distal intestine and colon.The prebiotic properties of Acacia Senegal was studi...

Gum Arabic is believed to have many health benefits including prevention of gastrointestinal diseases.

Quantitative FISH results revealed that Bifidobacteriumspp. Bacteroidacea spp. and Lactobacillus spp. were selectively increased(P<0.05) after the fermentation of Acacia Senegal by the fecal microbiota.Clostridium spp.,even have showed slight increase in fermentation of Acacia Senegal and inulin but was not significant.
