Whole fruit pulp (mango) and a soluble fibre (pectin) impact bacterial diversity and abundance differently within the porcine large intestine

This study has shown that although pectin can promote extensive fermentation early in the LI, more prolonged and beneficial effects in the distal LI, including greater microbial species diversity, occur when the diet includes plant material with complex intact plant cell-walls, such as from mango.Graphical abstract
