Evaluation of fermentation properties, antioxidant capacity in vitro and in vivo, and metabolic profile of a fermented beverage made from apple and cantaloupe

Prebiotic characteristics of degraded polysaccharides from Acanthopanax senticosus polysaccharide on broilers gut microbiota based on in vitro digestion and fecal fermentation

“…The effect of ASPS and ASPS-1 on gut microbiota was studied by fermentation of chicken faeces. The basal nutrient medium was formulated with reference to previous studies ( Wang et al, 2023a ). Fresh chicken faeces were collected, and mixed samples were diluted with sterile PBS and homogenized to obtain 10% (w/v) fecal slurry.…”

Wallace melon juice fermented with Lactobacillus alleviates dextran sulfate sodium‐induced ulcerative colitis in mice through modulating gut microbiota and the metabolism

“…Oral administration of fermented Chinese dwarf cherry juice also ameliorated DSS‐induced ulcerative colitis in SD rats via reducing the production and mRNA levels of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, regulating changes in the gut microbiota and improving the expression of genes related to maintaining intestinal mucosal barrier homeostasis (Ran et al., 2022). Although fermented melon juice (FMJ) exhibited a positive effect on oxidative stress by decreasing the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and elevating the level of antioxidant enzymes in vivo (Tang et al., 2023), it is still unclear whether FMJ can act as an antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory agent in the prevention and treatment of UC.…”
