Novel dextrins as potential prebiotics
Received 15 December 2002, accepted 17 June 2003.
Abstract
Dextrins resulting from roasting of potato starch with one of alanine (ALA), glutamic acid (GLUA), glycine (GLC), histidine (HIS), phenylalanine (PHE), proline (PRO), and tryptophane (TRP) were tested for their potential prebiotic properties. Thus, they were digested by α-amylase and tested as a nutrient for Lactobacillus liquefaciens and Bifidobacterium. Both tests indicate that majority of tested dextrins might be useful as prebiotics as a dietary fiber or slowly digestible starch derivatives.
| Key words: Alpha-Amylolysis, Bifidobacterium, dietary fiber, Lactobacillus liquefaciens, slowly digestible starch. |
