Prebiotic Activity of Poly- and Oligosaccharides Obtained from <i>Plantago major</i> L. Leaves

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prebiotic potential of <i>Plantago major</i> L. leaves water-extractable polysaccharide (PWPs) and its lower molecular fractions. The structure of PWPs was investigated by high pressure anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC), size exclusion...

description The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prebiotic potential of <i>Plantago major</i> L. leaves water-extractable polysaccharide (PWPs) and its lower molecular fractions. The structure of PWPs was investigated by high pressure anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC), size exclusion chromatography coupled with multi-angle laser light scattering detector (SEC-MALLS) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The chemical composition and monosaccharide analyses showed that galacturonic acid was the main monosaccharide of PWPs followed by glucose, arabinose, galactose, rhamnose and xylose. FTIR study indicated a strong characteristic absorption peak at 1550 cm<sup>−1</sup> corresponding to the vibration of COO<sup>−</sup> group of galacturonic acid. The PWPs was subjected to hydrolysis using commercial enzymes to obtain <i>P. major</i> low molecular fraction (PLM) which was successively separated by size exclusion chromatography on Biogel P2. PWPs and PLM were examined for in vitro prebiotic activity using various assays. Results gave evidence for changes in optical density of the bacteria cells and pH of the growth medium. A heterofermentative process with a lactate/acetate ratio ranged from 1:1 to 1:5 was observed. The ability of PLM to stimulate the production of certain probiotic bacteria glycohydrolases and to be fermented by <i>Lactobacillus</i> sp. strains was successfully proved.
