Abstract:

Prebiotics are non-viable food ingredients selectively metabolized by beneficial intestinal bacteria. Prebiotics are ingredients that are selectively fermented and they allow specific changes in composition as well as activity in gastrointestinal microflora that can benefit host well-being and health. Prebiotic xylooligosaccharide seems to show positive effects on different health conditions like constipation, type 2 diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, has anticancer properties, decrease visceral fat depots as well as increase healthy gut microbiota as they are selectively fermented ingredients that benefits the host organism by selectively stimulating the growth or activity of one or more but limited number of probiotic bacteria in colon. XOS is well accepted orally in different foods as it possesses zero or very mild aftertaste, no extra side effects and can be used as a substitute of sugar.
