Abstract

A prebiotic oligosaccharide composition for use in reducing branched short chain fatty acids (BSCFAs). The composition comprises oligosaccharide compounds, for example galactooligosaccharide compounds, which includes: (a) at least 8 wt % Gal-(β1-3)-Gal-(β1-4)-Xa; (b) at least 3 wt % Gal-(β1-3)-Gal-(β1-3)-Xb; and (c) at least 5 wt % Gal-(β1-3)-Gal-(β1-2)-Xc, based on the total weight of oligosaccharide compounds present in the composition; wherein Xa, Xb and Xc are each independently selected from monosaccharides. These compositions contain relatively high amounts of the oligosaccharide compounds (a), (b) and (c) and a relatively high amount of β1-3 Gal-Gal linkages, compared to known oligosaccharide compositions. The present invention also relates to a composition comprising oligosaccharide compounds for administration to the athletes and/or sports persons who are undergoing and/or are about to undergo physical training, and in particular those athletes and/or sports person on a high protein diet. A method of preparing said composition and the use of said composition as a dietary supplement or a medicament are also disclosed.

Abstract

An oligosaccharide composition for use in the prevention, amelioration and/or treatment of gastrointestinal discomfort, gastrointestinal damage and/or upper respiratory episodes occurring during and/or after athletic activity in extreme environmental conditions. The composition comprises oligosaccharide compounds, for example galactooligosaccharide compounds, which includes: (a) at least 8 wt% Gal-(β1-3)-Gal-(β1-4)-Xa; (b) at least 3 wt% Gal-(β1-3)-Gal-(β1-3)-Xb; and (c) at least 5wt% Gal-(β1-3)-Gal-(β1-2)-Xc, based on the total weight of oligosaccharide compounds present in the composition; wherein Xa, Xband Xc are each independently selected from monosaccharides. These compositions contain relatively high amounts of the oligosaccharide compounds (a), (b) and (c) and a relatively high amount of β1-3 Gal-Gal linkages, compared to known oligosaccharide compositions. These particular features of the composition are believed to provide benefits to the health of a subject during and/or after athletic activity, for example reducing episodes of URS and GI discomfort and/or damage. A method of preparing said composition and the use of said composition as a dietary supplement or a medicament are also disclosed. Oligosachharide compositions for use in and methods of reducing plasma I-FABP and/or increasing salivary immunoglobulin A (sIgA) during and/or after athletic activity in extreme environmental conditions by administering the oligosaccharide composition according to the present invention are also disclosed.

Abstract

Described herein are prebiotic oligosaccharide compositions. The compositions comprise oligosaccharide compounds, for example galactooligosaccharide compounds, which includes: (a) at least 8 wt % Gal-(β1-3)-Gal-(β1-4)-Xa; (b) at least 3 wt % Gal-(β1-3)-Gal-(β1-3)-Xb; and (c) at least 5 wt % Gal-(β1-3)-Gal-(β1-2)-Xc, based on the total weight of oligosaccharide compounds present in the composition; wherein Xa, Xb and Xc are each independently selected from monosaccharides. These compositions contain relatively high amounts of the oligosaccharide compounds (a), (b) and (c) and a relatively high amount of β1-3 Gal-Gal linkages, compared to known oligosaccharide compositions. These particular features of the composition are believed to provide benefits to the gut health of a consumer, for example due to these compositions providing an increased production of butyrate in the gut of a consumer compared to known compositions. A method of preparing said composition and the use of said composition as a dietary supplement or a medicament are also disclosed.

Abstract

Bifidobacterium bifidum. The β-galactosidase is capable of converting lactose to a mixture of oligosaccharides which are β-linked and unexpectedly produces the α-linked disaccharide galactobiose. The mixture may be incorporated into numerous food products or animal feeds for improving gut health by promoting the growth of bifidobacteria in the gut, and repressing the growth of the pathogenic microflora.
