Development and optimisation of food products low in FODMAPs: an investigation of dietary fibres in low FODMAP products and the reduction of FODMAPs via bio-technological processes
… food source in the western world- are high in fructans and α-galactooligosaccharides (GOS). These carbohydrates belong to the group of fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides and polyol (FODMAP), which were shown to trigger symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. A diet low in FODMAPs is …

Circadian and Seasonal Variation in Pasture Nonstructural Carbohydrates and the Physiological Response of Grazing Horses
… (NSC), which includes sugars, starches and fructans in pasture forages, undergo circadian and seasonal variation which has direct effects on metabolism in grazing horses. Increased intake of NSC is implicated in the development of digestive and metabolic disorders, such as laminitis. A …

Effects of defoliation on regrowth and carbon budgets of three semi-arid Karoo shrubs
… and P. pallens, accumulate predominantly fructans. In contrast, the succulent species, R. spinosa, accumulate starch and fructans in equal proportions. Differences among species in terms of seasonal changes in TNC levels of undefoliated plants reflect the extent to which different species …

Influence of dietary interventions on the immune system: an investigation of the impact of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fermentable materials and high energy diets
… adults was conducted to examine impacts of β2-1 fructans on immunity. Subjects consumed an oligofructose-enriched inulin or maltodextrin supplement for a 28-day period (5 g, 3× daily with meals). β2-1 fructan supplementation significantly increased serum endotoxin and IL-4 concentrations, …

Influence of Pre-meal Inulin Consumption on Energy Intake in Overweight and Obese Middle-aged and Older Adults: A Pilot Study
… of the gut microbiota. Specifically, inulin-type fructans (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 …

Effects of fructan source and degree of polymerization on intestinal barrier function and histomorphology characteristics in obese C57BL/6 mice
… vs. cellulose treatments using contrasts, fructans resulted in a greater (p<0.05) transmural resistance and crypt depth when all intestinal regions were combined. In contrast, fructan-fed mice had lower (p<0.05) mRNA abundance of ZO-1 and occludin when all intestinal regions were combined …

Bioactive compounds in leek (Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum): analysis as a function of the genetic diversity, harvest time and processing techniques
… sulfoxides (ACSOs), polyphenols, vitamins and fructans. Moreover, epidemiologic studies elucidated the reduction of the risk of prostate, colorectal, stomach and breast cancer when leek is consumed. On the one hand, the present study identified and quantified bioactive compounds in fresh leek …
