Addition of acacia gum to a FOS/inulin blend improves its fermentation profile in the Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME®)

Addition of acacia gum to a FOS/inulin blend improves its fermentation profile in the Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME®)

The Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME®) was used to assess the impact of the partial substitution of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin by acacia gum in a fibre blend. Both blends were well fermented and the presence of acacia gum modified the intestinal fermentation...
