The Safety and Adequacy of Galactooligosaccharides and Fructooligosaccharides in Infant Pig Formula
… the effect of Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) and Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) supplementation in nursery pig diets on growth and efficiency of food utilization. Forty-eight 4-day old crossbred pigs (1.628 ± .037 Kg BW) were randomly assigned to 1 of 8 diets: 1) milk-based formula containing Type 2 …

Glucooligosaccharides and Fructooligosaccharides Alter Microbial Populations and Fermentation Characteristics in Animal Models and Human Subjects
Certain nondigestible oligosaccharides have been shown to elicit prebiotic effects in the large intestine of healthy nonruminants. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the prebiotic effects of two novel oligosaccharides, alpha-glucooliogsaccharide (GOS) and maltodextrin-like oligosaccharide (MD), …

Effects of short-chain fructooligosaccharides and galactooligosaccharides, individually and in combination, on nutrient digestibility, fecal fermentative metabolite concentrations, and large bowel microbial ecology of healthy adult cats
Short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS) and galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are non-digestible oligosaccharides that result in a prebiotic effect in some animal species; however, the cat has not been well studied in this regard. This experiment evaluated scFOS and GOS supplementation on nutrient …

Indices of gut health and intestinal microbial ecology of the cat as affected by ingestion of select carbohydrates varying in fermentative capacity
… the effects of supplementing cellulose, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), or pectin at 4% of the diet on total tract nutrient digestibility, fecal fermentative end-products, and select fecal microbiota of the young adult cat. Study 3 determined the effects of adapting the gastrointestinal …

Evaluation of in vitro and in vivo equine microbial population shifts in response to colic conditions
… fecal microflora. Diets were designed containing fructooligosaccharides and mannanoligosaccharides in order to investigate treatment effects on VFA and NH3 concentration, and pH following starvation or starch overload. This research indicated that total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration may …

Effects of dietary fermentable material on innate and adaptive immune measures in male and female rats under resting and immunized conditions
… Bran (WB), Oat Bran (OB), Resistant Starch (RS), Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)) on the immune system were compared under resting and immunized conditions between sexes. The gut microbiota composition and short chain fatty acid profiles differed between rats fed different DFM and also differed …

Implications of Dietary Fiber and Fermentable Carbohydrates on Gut Health and Intestinal Microbial Ecology of the Dog
… (2) to evaluate if oligosaccharides like MOS and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) can replace beet pulp as a fiber source in dog diets; and (3) to determine how beet pulp affects the overall composition of the gut microbiome. The effect of supplemental MOS by itself was limited, with a linear decrease …

Effect of yacon flour (Smallanthus sonchifolius) consumption on body weight, body composition, intestinal permeability and metabolic changes in excess body weight adults
Yacon root is a natural source of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and phenolic compounds. However, it has short shelf life due to its high water content. In this sense, the yacon flour becomes promising, because in addition to increasing the shelf life of the yacon, it presents a higher concentration …

Utilization of selected dietary fibers by dogs and cats
… fiber while greatest fermentation occurred for fructooligosaccharides, lactulose, citrus pectin, and guar gum. In vitro fiber fermentation with cat fecal microflora indicated least fermentation of Solka Floc$\sp\circler$ while citrus pectin, guar gum, and locust bean gum resulted in greatest …

Influence of Pre-meal Inulin Consumption on Energy Intake in Overweight and Obese Middle-aged and Older Adults: A Pilot Study
… (ITF) including inulin, oligosaccharides, and fructooligosaccharides have been generating interest in the prebiotic area in the past two decades. A lot of attention has been directed at weight management, since ITFs are known to stimulate the excretion of anorectic gut hormones glucagon like …

Evaluation of Prebiotic Fibers and Pectin on Probiotic Strains and Effect of Bacteriocin-like Substance on the Survival of Listeria Monocytogenes
… this research is to study the fermentability of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), galactooligosaccharides(GOS), inulin agave (IA), high methoxy pectin (HMP), and low methoxy pectin (LMP) with three strains of probiotic bacteria in order to find the suitable carbohydrates that could be used as …

Effects of fructan source and degree of polymerization on intestinal barrier function and histomorphology characteristics in obese C57BL/6 mice
… 5% cellulose, 10% cellulose, 10% short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS) or 10% inulin and fed for 28 d. Distal ileum, cecum, and colon samples were collected for Ussing chamber, histomorphology, and qRT-PCR analyses. The effects of treatment were tested using the Mixed Models procedure of …

Influence of oligosaccharides and fish oil on gastrointestinal tract characteristics and metabolic profiles of humans, pigs, and rats
… microcrystalline cellulose; (3) treatment 2 + 6% fructooligosaccharides; (4) treatment 2 + 6% oligofructose; and (5) treatment 2 + 6% xylooligosaccharides. The OS diets resulted in increased cecal SCFA and decreased pH. Cecal bifidobacteria and total anaerobes were increased while total aerobes …

Growth Characteristics of Bifidobacteria in Infant Formulas
… experiment growth promoters, lactulose and fructooligosaccharides (FOS), were inoculated at .5% into SB and CH with 2.5% of above mentioned 4 strains of bifidobacteria and their mixture (mixed-culture), and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. Lactulose did not influence maximum counts and G in SB …

Colonization dynamics of oro-gastrointestinal microbes critical to infant health
… the growth of many Enterobacteriaceae, whereas fructooligosaccharides were less fermentable. Fortunately, Enterobacteriaceae were incapable of fermenting the intact human milk oligosaccharides tested. Conversely, several Enterobacteriaceae were capable of fermenting the mono- and disaccharides …
