“…However, the most popular prebiotics are plant oligosaccharides [ 51 ]. Nondigestible carbohydrates, including polysaccharides (resistant starch, pectin, and dextrin) and oligosaccharides, such as fructooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharide, xylooligosacharides, isomaltooligosaccharides, mannanooligosaccharides, raffinose oligosaccharides, arabinoxylanoligosaccharides, lactulose, and inulin, possess prebiotic properties [ 53 , 54 , 57 ]. Prebiotics have the potential to improve human health by controlling the balance of the intestinal microbiome.…”

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in identifying and applying new, naturally occurring molecules that promote health. Probiotics are defined as “live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benefits on the host”. Quite a few fermented products serve as the source of probiotic strains, with many factors influencing the effectiveness of probiotics, including interactions of probiotic bacteria with the host’s microbiome. Prebiotics contain no microorganisms, only substances which stimulate their growth. Prebiotics can be obtained from various sources, including breast milk, soybeans, and raw oats, however, the most popular prebiotics are the oligosaccharides contained in plants. Recent research increasingly claims that probiotics and prebiotics alleviate many disorders related to the immune system, cancer metastasis, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. However, little is known about the role of these supplements as important dietary components in preventing or treating cardiovascular disease. Still, some reports and clinical studies were conducted, offering new ways of treatment. Therefore, the aim of this review is to discuss the roles of gut microbiota, probiotics, and prebiotics interventions in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

“…[5][6][7][8] At present, most of the research on prebiotics focuses on carbon sources such as fructooligosaccharides and xylooligosaccharides and oen ignore the inuence of nitrogen sources on probiotics. [9][10][11] Nitrogen sources are essential for the growth of probiotics, and an insufficient nitrogen source leads to the decelerated growth and metabolism of the probiotics even when the high-dose carbon source is supplemented. 12 The nitrogen sources in the daily diet mainly consist of proteins and peptides, while proteins, peptides, and amino acids mainly represent those that reach the intestine and directly acts on the intestinal ora aer digestion by the human body.…”

“…The application of bioactive compounds in the formulation of novel functional foods has been drawing the attention of researchers due to the health benefits associated with their consumption and the high demand and acceptance that they nowadays are having in the market [36][37][38]. Melon by-products, that currently lack high value-added applications, could be considered as a cheap and sustainable source of these compounds [5,39].…”

Melon by-products, that currently lack high value-added applications, could be a sustainable source of bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides and antioxidants. In this work, melon peels were extracted with water to remove free sugars, and the water-insoluble solids (WISs) were subjected to hydrothermal processing. The effect of temperature on the composition of the obtained liquors and their total phenolic content was evaluated. The selected liquors were also characterized by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectroscopy (MALDI-TOF MS), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and high performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC–PAD), and its phenolic compounds were identified and quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–DAD–MS/MS). In addition, the spent solids from the hydrothermal treatment were characterized and their potential use was assessed. At the optimal conditions of 140 °C (severity 2.03), the total oligosaccharide yield accounted for 15.24 g/100 g WIS, of which 10.07 g/100 g WIS were oligogalacturonides. The structural characterization confirmed the presence of partially methyl esterified oligogalacturonides with a wide range of polymerization degrees. After precipitation, 16.59 g/100 g WIS of pectin were recovered, with a galacturonic acid content of 55.41% and high linearity.
