“…Oligosaccharides have attained a growing commercial interest in the last decades due to their application as food ingredients and putative prebiotic compounds, which might exert beneficial effects on the host health [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Some of these polymers, specifically xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), are considered non-digestible fibers and can be produced from biodegradable and low-cost agricultural biomass, especially lignocellulosic material such as wheat straw, by chemical, auto-hydrolytic, enzymatic processes or a combination thereof [ 2 , 4 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”
