Prebiotic effects of citrus pectic oligosaccharides

This study demonstrated that POS2 (product from the enzymatic hydrolysis by PEC2) showed greater prebiotic activity than POS1 (product from the enzymatic hydrolysis by PEC1). The results confirmed that citrus pectic oligosaccharides could be used as emerging prebiotics with improved properties due to their antimicrobial and modulating-microbiota ability.PMID:34227455 | DOI:10.1080/14786419.2021.1948845
