Nonstarch polysaccharides in sweet potato
The composition of the non-starch polysaccharides in sweet potato was determined and their flatulence-inducing potential evaluated. A preparative adaptation of the AOAC enzymatic method was used to isolate the insoluble and soluble non-starch polysaccharides. The insoluble non-starch fraction was …

Alteration to Gastrointestinal Microbial Communities Associated with Increasing Fiber Digestibility
… the nutritional limitations of its high non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) content for use in monogastric animal feed. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two factors (the inclusion of DDGS and/or inclusion of a carbohydrase mixture) on the richness and abundance of swine …

A soluble mannan from ripe banana fruit
Soluble and insoluble non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) fractions have been isolated from the pulp of ripe banana fruit. Attempts to determine the composition of the insoluble NSP indicated the fraction to be exceptionally complex and difficult to analyze. Only about 44% of the dry weight could be …

Exogenous enzymes and irradiation of barley reduce the anti-nutritional activity of non-starch polysaccharides in broilers
Interactions between non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) level, dietary lipid type, exogenous carbohydrase enzymes and irradiation were investigated. Ten treatment diets were fed to broilers in a performance and digestibility trial. Eight of the diets contained high levels of NSP, achieved by a high …

THE EFFECT OF DIETARY FIBRE ON HUMAN LIPID METABOLISM
… 38.7 ±2.1 g/d. Neither total bile acids nor non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) excretion changed with either treatment. No ketones were found in any of the urine samples on either treatment and urinary urea nitrogen values were unchanged. Propionate significantly lowered serum total cholesterol …

Application of a " Glucose Release Index " to assess physical and chemical characteristics of cereal grains that may influence starch digestion and subsequent energy supply to monogastrics
… energy values of grains need to be explored. Starch, which is hydrolysed into glucose by animals, is the most abundant energy component in cereal grains, and there is evidence suggesting that variations in digestible or metabolisable energy values may be related to the extent of starch …
