A combination of xylooligosaccharides and a polyphenol blend affect microbial composition and activity in the distal colon exerting immunomodulating properties on human cells

A validated in vitro gut model (i.e. SHIME®), coupled with co-cultures of epithelial cells and macrophages, was used to investigate the prebiotic potential and immune modulation of long-term administration of a xylooligosaccharides/polyphenols blend. The blend was well fermented along the entire col...
