“…On a global scale, the majority of inulin on the market is produced from the tap root of chicory ( Cichorium intybus , Cichorioideae), with an average degree of polymerization (DP) of 15–20, which is suitable for use as dietary fibre (Van den Ende et al, 1996). The tap roots of endive ( Cichorium endivia , Cichorioideae), great burdock ( Arctium lappa , Carduoideae) and the tuberous root of yacon ( Smallanthus sonchifolius , Asteroideae) also contain a high amount of short‐chain inulin, with an average DP of 3–7, and these are good candidates for sweeteners and prebiotics (Ishiguro et al, 2010; Lachman et al, 2004; Mariano et al, 2020). Nevertheless, the majority of Asteraceae used for inulin production still have no reference genome sequence, hindering extensive studies of inulin metabolism and regulation mechanisms.…”

Inulin is an important reserve polysaccharide in Asteraceae plants, and is also widely used as a sweetener, a source of dietary fibre and prebiotic. Nevertheless, a lack of genomic resources for inulin‐producing plants has hindered extensive studies on inulin metabolism and regulation. Here, we present chromosome‐level reference genomes for four inulin‐producing plants: chicory (Cichorium intybus), endive (Cichorium endivia), great burdock (Arctium lappa) and yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), with assembled genome sizes of 1.28, 0.89, 1.73 and 2.72 Gb, respectively. We found that the chicory, endive and great burdock genomes were shaped by whole genome triplication (WGT‐1), and the yacon genome was shaped by WGT‐1 and two subsequent whole genome duplications (WGD‐2 and WGD‐3). A yacon unique whole genome duplication (WGD‐3) occurred 5.6–5.8 million years ago. Our results also showed the genome size difference between chicory and endive is largely due to LTR retrotransposons, and rejected a previous hypothesis that chicory is an ancestor of endive. Furthermore, we identified fructan‐active‐enzyme and transcription‐factor genes, and found there is one copy in chicory, endive and great burdock but two copies in yacon for most of these genes, except for the 1‐FEH II gene which is significantly expanded in chicory. Interestingly, inulin synthesis genes 1‐SST and 1‐FFT are located close to each other, as are the degradation genes 1‐FEH I and 1‐FEH II. Finally, we predicted protein structures for 1‐FFT genes to explore the mechanism determining inulin chain length.

“…The microbial plate count method was used for prebiotic evaluations. The protocols for prebiotic evaluation were adapted from Mariano et al (2020) with some modifications. The quantification of probiotic L. plantarum TISTR 1465 was conducted using the drop plate technique following Herigstad et al (2001) with some modifications.…”

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is prevalent in various countries, and has been rapidly increasing in Asian countries, including Malaysia. The present work aimed to elucidate the proximate composition and prebiotic properties of each freeze-dried powder of pumpkin (FDPP), winter melon (FDWMP), and rock melon (FDRMP) from the cucurbit family. It was observed that the moisture content of FDPP was significantly the lowest at 7.39%, compared to the content in FDWMP and FDRMP at 9.83 and 9.84%, respectively. The highest protein concentration was found in FDWMP at 10.51%. The total dietary fibre of FDWMP was the highest (31.28 g) compared to FDPP (9.96 g) and FDRMP (7.62 g). FDWMP showed a potential prebiotic effect only at initial from 0 to 12 h (Lactobacillus plantarum TISTR 1465), and FDRMP presented a comparatively prebiotic effect by increasing its number from 6.00 × 106 to 1.01 × 106 CFU/mL within 72 h (Bifidobacterium BB12). The FDWMP can be used for further application as an alternative potential functional food ingredient to improve nutritive values, dietary fibres, and prebiotic properties. Further study is needed to investigate the prebiotic properties of FDWMP in food products.

“…Probiotic strains were found to degrade GAGs and certain species such as B. thetaiotaomicron considered GAGs as their priority nutrient. Mariano et al ., (2020) extracted FOS from Cichorium endivia roots and investigated prebiotic potential for Lactobacillus fermentum , L. paracasei , L. acidophilus and L. brevis . They found promising fermentation potential of Cichorium endivia and bacterial multiplication rate was even higher than commercial FOS.…”

“…Attributing to structural composition, different GAGs and oligosaccharides have been reported to exhibit a wide range of biological functions including wound healing, prebiotic potential, antioxidant properties, etc. (Ávila et al ., 2020; Mariano et al ., 2020; Arnold et al ., 2021) Thus, the present article aimed to review up to date literature to structurally characterise GAGs and different oligosaccharides (galactooligosaccharides, fructooligosaccharides and xylooligosaccharides) for their potential health benefits and biological activities along with potential extraction and purifications techniques from novel sources.…”

Carbohydrates are the potential food components holding prime significance in biological functionality and technological performance of food products. They are predominant sources of energy requirement for human body and more recently, they have been explored for their nutraceutical properties and pharmacological effects. The objective of the present article was to critically examine and document up-to-date literature for biological activities and health benefits of two functional carbohydrates groups, that is, glycosaminoglycans and oligosaccharides. Glycosaminoglycans are polymeric forms of sulphated/nonsulphated glycans while oligosaccharides studied in the present article were galacto-oligosaccharides, fructo-oligosaccharides and xylo-oligosaccharides. These two carbohydrate classes have been classified on a structural basis which dictates their unique biological properties. Attributing to their compositional and structural features, they have been found to exhibit several pharmacological properties including prebiotic potential, wound healing, antioxidant potential, immunomodulatory effects and prevention against several other degenerative diseases. Significant emphasis has been given to the structural characterisation and bio-functionality of these polysaccharides in addition to their sources and extraction mechanisms.
