“…Since the amount of fermentable carbohydrate is critical in avoiding problems with intolerance (Stone-Dorshow & Levitt, 1987), in this study, the threshold of gastrointestinal discomfort due to NUTRIOSE s FB was determined. Standard maltodextrin was used as placebo as reported earlier (Van Munster et al, 1994). During 6 days on 30, 60 or 80 g of NUTRIOSE s FB per day, the frequency of flatulence was higher than with the control treatment (same dose of maltodextrin).…”

“…Dietary intakes were evaluated by the dietitian using the 3-d food recall method, and the nutrient compositions were calculated according to the food composition table ( 9 ). Eight specific symptoms of GI were assessed using the questionnaire described by van Munster et al ( 10 ). The listed symptoms were: appetite, rumbling numbers and sound of GI tract, belching, flatulence, fecal smell, toilet habits, stool consistency and stool traits, while the degrees of GI discomfort were ranked from absent, mild, or moderate to severe ( 10 ).…”

SummaryThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of xylooligosaccharide (XOS) on the blood sugar, lipids and oxidative status in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). A total of 26 outpatient subjects of Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan, with HbA1c levels between 7.0 and 10.0% and triglyceride Ͻ 400 mg/dL were enrolled in the present study. Subjects were supplemented with 4 g/d XOS ( n ϭ 12) or a placebo ( n ϭ 14) for 8 wk in a randomized double-blind clinical design . The results showed that the anthropometric values and nutrient intakes did not change during the experimental period. XOS supplementation not only reduced the glucose, HbA1c and fructosamine concentrations, but also decreased the levels of total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and apolipoprotein B. The activity of catalase of the erythrocyte sample decreased in the XOS group, but not the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. In conclusion, the dietary supplementation with XOS for 8 wk was effective in improving the blood sugar and lipids in type 2 diabetes, indicating that XOS-containing diets might be beneficial to DM subjects. Key Words xylooligosaccharide, sugar, lipids, type 2 diabetes, antioxidant status Dietary non-digestible oligosaccharides have gained increasing attention because they showed beneficial effects for maintaining optimum health. Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are composed of ␤ -1,4-linked D -xylopyranose residues. It has been demonstrated that XOS can be extensively utilized by several species of Bifidobacteria in the colon and can stimulate the growth of Bifidobacteria ( 1 , 2 ). Hsu et al. ( 3 ) reported that XOS significantly lowered the serum triacylglycerol (TG) level and increased the Bifidobacteria population in SpragueDawley rats. Campbell et al. ( 4 ) suggested that XOS showed some beneficial effects for improving gastrointestinal health by increasing the Bifidobacteria population and providing short-chain fatty acid (SCFA). SCFAs, such as acetate, propionate and butyrate, were produced by microbial fermentation and absorbed readily by the colonic mucosa. Propionate might mediate the hepatic carbohydrate metabolism, and improve the glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in healthy female volunteers ( 5 ). Laurent et al. ( 6 ) found that acetate and propionate decreased the plasma free fatty acid level, while they did not change the hepatic glucose production or fasting blood glucose.The aim of diet therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is not only to decrease body weight, but also to exert specific actions toward the main pathophysiologic disorders, such as hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance. Daily intake of 8 g fructooligosaccharide (FOS) for 14 d was reported to significantly reduce fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels of diabetic subjects ( 7 ). On the other hand, Alles et al. ( 8 ) concluded that 15 g/d FOS supplementation for 20 d d...

“…The possible effect of the RS consumption on bowel transit time and the influence of RS on amino acids and vitamins showed no relationship of the fermentation with these parameters [108]. On the contrary, it was suggested that some RS types (RS2) would be able to improve calcium and magnesium absorption by enhancing mineral solubility in the cecum and/or large intestine due to acidification of the content induced by RS fermentation [89,122].…”

Starch is a polymer widely distributed in the nature and it is the principal component of cereals, tubers, legumes, and unripe fruits. Traditionally, starch has been isolated and used as raw material in diverse food products to produce or to improve specific functionalities and nowadays novel starches from unconventional sources have gained interest due to improved or due to different physicochemical and functional characteristics, especially for new food products. Recently, the potential nutraceutical characteristics of starchy products have increased the interest on this biopolymer. In this review, we describe the physicochemical and digestibility characteristics of starch present in diverse food crops namely maize and beans, and unconventional starch sources such as banana (Musa paradisiaca L.), mango (Mangifera indica L.), amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus), and barley (Hordeum vulgare), among others. The starch after cooking, the storage of starchy products and the potential of starch isolated from unconventional sources to produce resistant starch-rich products using different treatments are emphasized.
