Abstract
BACKGROUND The general assumption that prebiotics reach the colon without any alterations has been challenged. Some in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that 'non-digestible' oligosaccharides are digested to different degrees depending on their structural composition. In the present study, we compared different methods aiming to assess the digestibility of oligosaccharides synthesized by β-galactosidase (β-gal) of Lactobacillus delbruecki subsp. bulgaricus CRL450 (CRL450-β-gal) from lactose, lactulose and lactitol. RESULTS In the simulated gastrointestinal fluid method, no changes were observed. However, the oligosaccharides synthesized by CRL450-β-gal were partially hydrolyzed in vitro, depending on their structure and composition, with rat small intestinal extract (RSIE) and small intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) from pig. Digestion of some oligosaccharides increased when mixtures were fed to C57BL/6 mice used as in vivo model; however, lactulose-oligosaccharides were the most resistant to the physiological conditions of mice. In general β (1→6) linked products showed higher resistance compared to β (1→3) oligosaccharides. CONCLUSION In vitro digestion methods, without disaccharidases, may underestimate the importance of carbohydrates hydrolysis in the small intestine. Although BVMM and RSIE digestion assays are appropriate in vitro methods for these studies, in vivo studies remain the most reliable for understanding what actually happens in the digestion of oligosaccharides. © 2024 The Authors.

Abstract
The trend toward healthier food products has led to an increase in the research of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion methods. Among the most used models, static models are the simplest. Most static models have three stages: oral, gastric, and intestinal, simulating the enzymatic, electrolyte, pH, temperature, and bile salt conditions. The studies that have taken the most notice are those related to antioxidant activity, followed by those dealing with proteins and carbohydrates using most of them static in vitro digestion models. The number of these studies has increased over the years, passing from 45 to 415 in a 10-year period (2012-2023) and showing an interest in knowing the impact of food on human health. Nevertheless, published papers report different methodologies and analytical approaches. This review discusses the similarities and differences between the published static in vitro gastrointestinal digestion methods, with a focus on carbohydrates, finding that the most used protocol is Infogest, but with differences, mainly in the type of enzymes and their activity. Regarding in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of carbohydrates, many of the published studies are related to food and biomacromolecules, being the oral phase the most omitted, while the intestinal phase in the most diverse. Other methodologies to study the intestinal phase have been recommended, but the number of in vitro digestion studies using these methodologies (RSIE and BBMV) is still scarce but could represent a good alternative to analyze carbohydrates foods when combining with Infogest. More studies are required in this area.

Abstract
Orange juice by-products, including peel, segments, and seeds, account for more than 50% of the total mass. This study aims to valorize the peel and segments of Sai Nam Phueng (Citrus reticulata Blanco 'Sai Nam Phueng') orange juice by-products by producing crude pectic oligosaccharides (POS) with prebiotic potential using pulsed electric field (PEF)-assisted enzymatic treatment. PEF was performed for 5 min at field strengths of 10 and 7.5 kV/cm for orange peel powder (OPP) and orange segment powder (OSP), respectively, combined with Cellulase XL-531 at a concentration of 1.75%, pH 5.5, 40 °C for 2 h. The crude OPP-POS and OSP-POS yields were 19.16% and 17.51%, respectively, significantly higher than values obtained with PEF or enzymic hydrolysis singly. Thin layer chromatography results showed that the crude POS consisted of oligogalacturonic acids with various degrees of polymerization. Both POS products could enhance the growth of target probiotic bacteria and simultaneously produce short-chain fatty acids, especially propionic acid. Furthermore, the crude POS products also showed more than 90% resistance to simulated gastrointestinal digestion. These findings support the utilization of by-products from Sai Nam Phueng orange juice as a potential source for prebiotic production using PEF.

Abstract
Under appropriate experimental conditions, some glycoside hydrolases can catalyze transglycosylation reactions; a hypothesis associated with this is that the glycosidic linkages formed will be preferentially hydrolyzed under optimal conditions. Therefore, the hydrolytic and transglycosylation activities of isolated membranes from differentiated Caco-2 cells on sucrose, maltose and isomaltulose were evaluated. After the enzymatic reactions, the di- and trisaccharides obtained were identified by gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer. Differentiated Caco-2 cell membranes exerted hydrolytic and transglycosylation activities towards the studied disaccharides. The obtained di- and trisaccharides were detected for the first time using human cell models. Due to the absence of maltase-glucoamylase complex (MGAM) in Caco-2 cells, and the known hydrolytic activity of sucrase-isomaltase (SI) towards sucrose, maltose and isomaltulose, it is plausible that the glycosidic linkages obtained after the transglycosylation reaction, mainly α-glucosyl-fructoses and α-glucosyl-glucoses, were carried out by SI complex. This approach can be used as a model to explain carbohydrate digestibility in the small intestine and as a tool to design new oligosaccharides with low intestinal digestibility.

Abstract
Bee pollen (BP) and bee bread (BB) have been often investigated as potential functional foods. Both bee products are generally characterized by their high nutritional content, with BB being referred as more digestible than BP, however, there is a lack of scientific studies proving this claim. Here, we present a comparative evaluation of the macronutrient digestibility of BP and BB after applying a simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestive system, together with the evaluation of its nutritional value and chemical composition. The digestibility scores for protein content were calculated on average as 69% and 76% for BP and BB, respectively, whereas digestibility scores for soluble sugars varied depending on bee product and sugar type. The results demonstrated that the nutritional values of both bee products changed depending on their botanical origin but BB is more accessible in the intestinal lumen, especially regarding protein.

Abstract
Food industry has been pressed to develop products with reduced sugar and low caloric value, while maintaining unchanged their rheological and physicochemical properties. The development of a strawberry preparation for the dairy industry, with prebiotic functionality, was herein investigated by in situ conversion of its intrinsic sucrose content into prebiotic fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). Two commercial enzymatic complexes, Viscozyme® L and Pectinex® Ultra SP-L, were evaluated for the synthesis of FOS. Operational parameters such as temperature, pH, and enzyme:substrate ratio (E:S) were optimized to maximize FOS yield. The rheological and physicochemical properties of the obtained strawberry preparation were evaluated. For functional analysis, the resistance of FOS to the harsh conditions of the gastro-intestinal digestion was evaluated by applying the standardized INFOGEST static protocol. At optimal conditions (60 ℃, pH 5.0), Pectinex® produced 265 ± 3 g·L-1 FOS, yielding 0.57 ± 0.01 gFOS·ginitial sucrose-1 after 7 h reaction (E:S:1:40); and Viscozyme® produced 295 ± 1 g·L-1 FOS, yielding 0.66 ± 0.00 gFOS·ginitial sucrose-1 after 5 h (E:S:1:30). The obtained strawberry preparations contained more than 50 %(w/w) prebiotic FOS incorporated (DP 3-5), with 80 % reduction of its sucrose content. The caloric value was therefore reduced by 26-31 %. FOS showed resistance to gastrointestinal digestion being only slightly hydrolysed (<10 %). 1F-Fructofuranosylnystose was not digested at any phase of the digestion. Although the physicochemical properties of the prebiotic preparations were different from the original one, parameters such as the lower °Brix, water activity, consistency and viscosity, and its different color, may be easily adjusted. Results indicate that in situ synthesis strategies are efficient alternatives in the manufacture of reduced sugar and low-caloric food products with prebiotic potential.

Abstract
Despite the physiological importance of the hydrolases from the intestinal brush border membrane (BBM), a step simulating the intestinal digestion has not been included yet in the harmonized protocols of in vitro digestion, due to commercial unavailability of these enzymes and lack of consensus for the conditions of use. The proper utilize of BBM requires a detailed investigation of their enzymatic composition. BBM vesicles were purified from specimens of pig jejunum optimizing previously described methods and assayed for aminopeptidase N and dipeptidyl peptidase IV activity. Large-scale proteomics was carried out with a bottom-up shotgun approach, also performing a rough quantification with the iBAQ (intensity Based Absolute Quantification). Overall, 1428 proteins were identified and functionally classified by gene ontology enrichment analysis. The predominant enzyme fraction (220 gene products) was represented by hydrolases, including peptidases, glycosidases, and lipases. Aminopeptidase N and sucrase-isomaltase represented 52.9 % and 50.2 % of the peptidase and glycosidase abundance, respectively. In addition to expected transporters and cytoskeletal actin-binding proteins, purified BBM vesicles also contains a complex array of protease inhibitors, here described for the first time, that may modulate the activity of hydrolases. Considering the similarity with the human counterpart, intestinal porcine BBM are suited for simulating the human small intestinal digestion.

Abstract
Many animals face periods of feeding restrictions implying fasting and refeeding. The determination of digestive/metabolic and body condition parameters at different times of food deprivation and after refeeding allows to evaluate the postprandial dynamics, the transition from feeding to fasting and the capacity to reverse digestive and metabolic alterations. In spite of its physiological importance, studies on estuarine-dependent detritivore fish are lacking. We determined total mass (TM), relative intestine length (RIL), hepatosomatic index (HSI), digestive enzymes activities in the intestine and energy reserves in liver and muscle at 0, 24, 72, 144 and 240 h after feeding and at 72 h after refeeding in prejuveniles of Mugil liza (Mugilidae) as a model species. After feeding, a decrease occurred in: TM (144 h, 25%), RIL (144 h, 23%); amylase and maltase (72 h, 45 and 35%), sucrase (24 h, 40%) and lipase (24 h, 70%) in intestine; glycogen and free glucose (72 h, 90 and 92%) in liver. In muscle, glycogen (72-144 h) and free glucose (144 h) (170% and 165%, respectively) peak increased; triglycerides decreased at 24-240 h (50%). After refeeding TM, RIL, carbohydrases activities in intestine, glycogen and free glucose in liver were recovered. In muscle, glycogen and free glucose were similar to 0 h; lipase activity and triglycerides were not recovered. Trypsin and APN in intestine, triglycerides in liver, protein in liver and muscle and HSI did not change. The differential modulation of key components of carbohydrates and lipid metabolism after feeding/refeeding would allow to face fasting and recover body condition. Our results improve lacking knowledge about digestive and metabolic physiology of detritivore fish.

Abstract
The synthesis of β-galactosyl xylitol derivatives using immobilized LacA β-galactosidase from Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 is presented. These compounds have the potential to replace traditional sugars by their properties as sweetener and taking the advantages of a low digestibility. The enzyme was immobilized on different supports, obtaining immobilized preparations with different activity and stability. The immobilization on agarose-IDA-Zn-CHO in the presence of galactose allowed for the conserving of 78% of the offered activity. This preparation was 3.8 times more stable than soluble. Since the enzyme has polyhistidine tags, this support allowed the immobilization, purification and stabilization in one step. The immobilized preparation was used in synthesis obtaining two main products and a total of around 68 g/L of β-galactosyl xylitol derivatives and improving the synthesis/hydrolysis ratio by around 30% compared to that of the soluble enzyme. The catalyst was recycled 10 times, preserving an activity higher than 50%. The in vitro intestinal digestibility of the main β-galactosyl xylitol derivatives was lower than that of lactose, being around 6 and 15% for the galacto-xylitol derivatives compared to 55% of lactose after 120 min of digestion. The optimal amount immobilized constitutes a very useful tool to synthetize β-galactosyl xylitol derivatives since it can be used as a catalyst with high yield and being recycled for at least 10 more cycles.

Abstract
Non-digestible isomaltooligosaccharides (NDIMOS) are functional food and beverage ingredients that contributed to human health benefits through metabolism of gastrointestinal microorganism. In this study, NDIMOS were synthesized by combine dextransucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides B512F/KM and alternansucrase from L. mesenteroides NRRL 1355CF10/KM using sucrose as substrate and maltose as acceptor. Their digestibility was confirmed by using digestive enzymes including α-amylase and amyloglucosidase. NDIMOS inhibited insoluble glucan formation through mutansucrase from Streptococcus mutans. The bifidogenic effect of NDIMOS was investigated by growth of four strains of Bifidobacterium in MRS broth containing NDIMOS, compared with MRS broth contain glucose and negative control. Additionally, Bifidobacterium bifidum or Bifidobacterium adolescentis inhibited the growth of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium when they were co-cultivation in MRS broth containing NDIMOS. These results suggested that NDIMOS is potential functional ingredient for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical application.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient; however, potential health impacts of high dietary levels of added soluble, highly bioavailable P salts especially are a concern. P sources with lower bioavailability are considered safer. Yet, speciation of different P sources to assess diets' risk to health is challenging. This investigation tested the value of in vitro water extraction and digestion assays to predict in vivo P apparent bioavailability/digestibility in feline diets. Thirty wet (n = 18) and dry (n = 12) format experimental and commercial cat foods were analyzed for nutrient content. Triplicate samples were subjected to in vitro water extraction, single-phase acidic (gastric; G) digestion, and dual-phase gastric and small intestinal (G-SI) digestion assays. Soluble and insoluble P were determined in the supernatant and pellet, respectively. A subset of the diets (seven wet, nine dry diets) was fed to healthy, adult cats (n = 7-24) to determine in vivo apparent P digestibility. Information on the soluble P salt sources and their contribution to total dietary P was available for some diets. Associations between data from the different in vitro assays and in vivo digestibility trials and the influence of different diet parameters were obtained using Pearson correlation and linear regression modeling. The % soluble P obtained from G-SI digestion assay correlated well with in vivo apparent P digestibility for wet (Pearson coefficient 0.926, p = 0.003), but not for dry diets (Pearson coefficient -0.074, p = 0.849). In contrast, the % soluble P determined by water extraction correlated well with the % soluble P salt contribution to total P for dry (Pearson coefficient 0.901, p < 0.001), but not for wet diets (Pearson coefficient -0.407, p = 0.365). Thus, 20 min water extraction can be used to predict soluble P salt content in dry diets; however, differing Ca:P ratios and water solubility of the P sources may affect the outcome and false-positive results can occur. The G-SI digestion assay employed can also be used to predict in vivo P digestibility. However, again, diet format, Ca:P ratios in diets, and possibly other factors can impact the results. Thus, data from in vitro assays to assess P sources and bioavailability need to be interpreted with care.

Abstract
Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are non-digestible oligosaccharides characterized by a mix of structures that vary in their degree of polymerization (DP) and glycosidic linkage between the galactose moieties or between galactose and glucose. They have enjoyed extensive scientific scrutiny, and their health-promoting effects are supported by a large number of scientific and clinical studies. A variety of GOS-associated health-promoting effects have been reported, such as growth promotion of beneficial bacteria, in particular bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, inhibition of pathogen adhesion and improvement of gut barrier function. GOS have attracted significant interest from food industries for their versatility as a bioactive ingredient and in particular as a functional component of infant formulations. These oligosaccharides are produced in a kinetically-controlled reaction involving lactose transgalactosylation, being catalyzed by particular β-galactosidases of bacterial or fungal origin. Despite the well-established technology applied for GOS production, this process may still meet with technological challenges when employed at an industrial scale. The current review will cover relevant scientific literature on the beneficial physiological properties of GOS as a prebiotic for the infant gut microbiota, details of GOS structures, the associated reaction mechanism of β-galactosidase, and its (large-scale) production.

Abstract
Defects in the mucosal barrier have been associated with metabolic diseases such as obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Mice fed a Western-style diet (WSD) develop obesity and are characterized by a diet-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction, bacterial endotoxin translocation and subsequent liver steatosis. To examine whether inulin or sodium butyrate could improve gut barrier dysfunction, C57BL/6 mice were fed a control diet or a WSD ± fructose supplemented with either 10% inulin or 5% sodium butyrate for 12 weeks respectively. Inulin and sodium butyrate attenuated hepatosteatitis in the WSD-induced obesity mouse model by reducing weight gain, liver weight, plasma and hepatic triglyceride level. Furthermore, supplementation with inulin or sodium butyrate induced expression of Paneth cell α-defensins and matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7), which was impaired by the WSD and particularly the fructose-added WSD. Effects on antimicrobial peptide function in the ileum were accompanied by induction of β-defensin-1 and tight junction genes in the colon resulting in improved intestinal permeability and endotoxemia. Organoid culture of small intestinal crypts revealed that the short chain fatty acids (SCFA) butyrate, propionate and acetate, fermentation products of inulin, induce Paneth cell α-defensin expression in vitro, and that histone deacetylation and STAT3 might play a role in butyrate-mediated induction of α-defensins. In summary, inulin and sodium butyrate attenuate diet-induced barrier dysfunction and induce expression of Paneth cell antimicrobials. The administration of prebiotic fiber or sodium butyrate could be an interesting therapeutic approach to improve diet-induced obesity.

Abstract
Lactulose, as a prebiotic, can be utilized by human gut microbiota and stimulate their growth. Although microbiota modulation has become an emerging approach to manage many diseases and can be achieved by the administration of prebiotics, fewer investigations have been carried out on the therapeutic mechanism of lactulose. Two trehalose analogs, lactulose and melibiose, were identified as having a neuroprotective effect in polyglutamine and Parkinson disease models. In this study, we examined lactulose and melibiose in a mouse primary hippocampal neuronal culture under the toxicity of oligomeric Aβ25-35. Lactulose was further tested in vivo because its effective concentration is lower than that of melibiose. Lactulose and trehalose were applied individually to mice before a bilateral intrahippocampal CA1 injection of oligomeric Aβ25-35. The administration of lactulose and trehalose attenuated the short-term memory and the learning retrieval of Alzheimer's disease (AD) mice. From a pathological analysis, we found that the pretreatment of lactulose and trehalose decreased neuroinflammation and increased the levels of the autophagic pathways. These results suggest that the neuroprotective effects of both lactulose and trehalose are achieved through anti-inflammation and autophagy. In addition, lactulose was better than trehalose in the enhancement of the synaptic protein expression level in AD mice. Therefore, lactulose could potentially be developed into a preventive and/or therapeutic disaccharide for AD.

Abstract
Starch, dextran, pectin and modified citrus pectin were subjected to intestinal digestion following InfoGest protocol and a rat small intestine extract (RSIE) treatment. Gastric stage did not show any modification in the structure of the carbohydrates, except for modified pectin. Regarding intestinal phases, starch was hydrolyzed by different ways, resulting in a complementary behavior between InfoGest and RSIE. Contrarily, digestion of dextran was only observed using RSIE. Similar situation occurred in the case of pectins with RSIE, obtaining a partial hydrolysis, especially in the modified citrus pectin. However, citrus pectin was the less prone to hydrolysis by enzymes. The results demonstrated that InfoGest method underestimates the significance of the carbohydrates hydrolysis at the small intestine, thus indicating that RSIE is a very reliable and useful method for a more realistic study of polysaccharides digestion.

Abstract
This work describes the high capacity of MelA α-galactosidase from Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 to transfer galactosyl residues from melibiose to the C6-hydroxyl group of disaccharide-acceptors with β-linkages (lactulose, lactose, and cellobiose) or α-linkages (isomaltulose and isomaltose) to produce novel galactose-containing hetero-oligosaccharides (HOS). A comprehensive nuclear magnetic resonance characterization of the transfer products derived from melibiose:lactulose reaction mixtures revealed the biosynthesis of α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β-d-fructose as the main component as well as the presence of α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β-d-fructose and α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β-d-fructose. Melibiose-derived α-galactooligosaccharides (α-GOS), manninotriose and verbascotetraose, were also simultaneously synthesized. An in vitro assessment of the intestinal digestibility of the novel biosynthesized HOS revealed a high resistance of α-galactosides derived from lactulose, lactose, cellobiose, and isomaltulose. According to the evidence gathered for conventional α-GOS and certain disaccharides used as acceptors in this work, these novel nondigestible α-galactosides could be potential candidates to selectively modulate the gut microbiota composition, among other applications, such as low-calorie food ingredients.

Abstract
In order to know the catalytic activities of the disaccharidases expressed in the mammalian small intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) high concentrated solutions of sucrose, maltose, isomaltulose, trehalose and the mixture sucrose:lactose were incubated with pig small intestine disaccharidases. The hydrolysis and transglycosylation reactions generated new di- and trisaccharides, characterized and quantified by GC-MS and NMR, except for trehalose where only hydrolysis was detected. In general, α-glucosyl-glucoses and α-glucosyl-fructoses were the most abundant structures, whereas no fructosyl-fructoses or fructosyl-glucoses were found. The in-depth structural characterization of the obtained carbohydrates represents a new alternative to understand the potential catalytic activities of pig small intestinal disaccharidases. The hypothesis that the oligosaccharides synthesized by glycoside hydrolases could be also hydrolysed by the same enzymes was confirmed. This information could be extremely useful in the design of new non-digestible or partially digestible oligosaccharides with potential prebiotic properties.

Abstract
Oro-gastrointestinal digestion of dietary carbohydrates involves up to six different carbohydrases in a multistage process. Enzymes from the small intestinal brush border membrane play a major role in the digestibility of these substrates. However, to date, the inclusion of these small intestinal enzymes has been dismissed in most in vitro studies carried out, despite their importance in the degradation of carbohydrates. Several in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the capability of brush border enzymes to degrade certain "non-digestible" carbohydrates to a different extent depending on their structural composition (monomeric composition, glycosidic linkage, etc.). In this sense, considering the available evidence, mucosal disaccharidases embedded in the small intestinal brush border membrane vesicles must be considered in addition to α-amylases; therefore, new approaches for the evaluation of the digestibility of carbohydrates have been recently reported. These new methods based on the utilization of the small intestinal enzymes present in the brush border membrane aim to fulfill the final and key step of the digestion of carbohydrates in the small intestine. Here, rat small intestinal extract enzymes as well as brush border membrane vesicles from pig have emerged as very reliable and useful tools to evaluate carbohydrate digestion. Thus, this review aims to go briefly through the most relevant digestion methods for carbohydrates that are currently available and to highlight the new improved methods, which include mammalian intestinal enzymes, and their current use in the evaluation of the digestibility of prebiotics.

When lactulose was incubated with BBMV, the hydrolytic activity of the enzyme towards the disaccharide was observed to be very low compared to that towards the lactose, but the linkage specificity β-(1 → 3), previously observed in lactose solutions, was not significantly affected. As in the case of lactose, lactulose transgalactosylation by BBMV synthesizes the corresponding 3'-galactosyl derivative (β-Gal-(1 → 3)-β-Gal-(1 → 4)-β-Fru). Fructose released during lactulose hydrolysis was found to be good acceptor for the transgalactosylation reaction, giving rise to the synthesis of the disaccharide β-Gal-(1 → 5)-Fru. When incubating an 80/20 mixture of lactulose/galactose, the presence of galactose did not affect the qualitative composition of the transglycosylated substrate but enhanced the synthesis of β-Gal-(1 → 5)-Fru and decreased the synthesis of β-(1 → 3) glycosidic bonds. The marked tendency for synthesizing this linkage indicates that under hydrolytic conditions, β-Gal-(1 → 3)-Gal- and β-Gal-(1 → 5)-Fru glycosidic bonds would be preferentially digested.

Abstract
Background:
In the last decade, various consortia and companies have created standardized digestion
protocols and gastrointestinal simulators, such as the protocol proposed by the INFOGEST Consortium, the simulator
SHIME, the simulator simgi®, the TIM, etc. Most of them claim to simulate the entire human gastrointestinal
tract. However, few results have been reported on the use of these systems with potential prebiotic carbohydrates.
Methods:
This critical review addresses the existing data on the analysis of prebiotic carbohydrates by different in
vitro gastrointestinal simulators, the lack of parameters that could affect the results, and recommendations for
their enhancement.
Results:
According to the reviewed data, there is a lack of a realistic approximation of the small intestinal conditions,
mainly because of the absence of hydrolytic conditions, such as the presence of small intestinal brush border
carbohydrases that can affect the digestibility of different carbohydrates, including prebiotics.
Conclusion:
There is a necessity to standardize and enhance the small intestine simulators to study the in vitro
digestibility of carbohydrates.

Abstract
Isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMOs) may promote health by modulating intestinal microbiota. We hypothesized that the proportion of α-(1 → 6) linkages in IMOs determines their digestibility. Ileal-cannulated pigs were fed diets containing IMO, IMO-DP3 with a greater DP and more α-(1 → 4) linkages, and digestible or resistant maltodextrins. Oligosaccharides were analysed by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography. Compared to IMO, IMO-DP3 contained more panose (18.6 vs. 10.3%) but less isomaltose (7.5 vs. 22.3%) and isomaltotriose (6.1 vs. 12.6%). The apparent ileal digestibility of dry matter were 3% greater for IMO-DP3 and digestible maltodextrin than resistant maltodextrin; the digestibility of IMO was not different from other oligosaccharides. Ileal propionate, isovalerate, and total SCFA was greater for IMO-DP3 and digestible maltodextrin than IMO. In conclusion, IMO was less digestible than IMO-DP3. Structural properties of IMOs are important determinants of their functional properties within the porcine digestive tract.

Abstract
Small intestinal brush border membrane vesicles from pig were used to digest galactooligosaccharides from lactose (GOS) and from lactulose (OsLu). Dissimilar hydrolysis rates were detected after digestion. Predominant glycosidic linkages and monomeric composition affected the resistance to intestinal digestive enzymes. The β(1→3) GOS mixture was the most susceptible to hydrolysis (50.2%), followed by β(1→4) (34.9%), whereas β(1→6) linkages were highly resistant to digestion (27.1%). Monomeric composition provided a better resistance in β(1→6) OsLu (22.8%) compared to β(1→6) GOS (27.1%). This was also observed for β-galactosyl fructoses and β-galactosyl glucoses, where the presence of fructose provided higher resistance to digestion. Thus, the resistance to small intestinal digestive enzymes highly depends upon the structure and composition of prebiotics. Increasing knowledge in this regard could contribute to the future synthesis of new mixtures of carbohydrates, highly resistant to digestion and with potential to be tailored prebiotics with specific properties, targeting, for instance, specific probiotic species.

Abstract
This work highlights the utility of brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) from the pig small intestine as a reliable model for gathering information about the reaction mechanisms involved in the human digestion of dietary carbohydrates. Concretely, the elucidation of the transgalactosylation mechanism of pig BBMV to synthesize prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) is provided, unravelling the catalytic activity of mammalian small intestinal β-galactosidase towards the hydrolysis of GOS. This study reveals that pig BBMV preferably synthesizes GOS linked by β-(1 → 3) bonds, since major tri- and disaccharide were produced by the transfer of a galactose unit to the C-3 of the non-reducing moiety of lactose and to the C-3 of glucose, respectively. Therefore, these results point out that dietary GOS having β-(1 → 3) as predominant glycosidic linkages could be more prone to hydrolysis by mammalian intestinal digestive enzymes as compared to those linked by β-(1 → 2), β-(1 → 4), β-(1 ↔ 1) or β-(1 → 6). Given that these data are the first evidence on the transglycosylation activity of mammalian small intestinal glycosidases, findings contained in this work could be crucial for future studies investigating the structure-small intestinal digestibility relationship of a great variety of available prebiotics, as well as for designing tailored fully non-digestible GOS.

Abstract
Previously we structurally characterized five glucosylated lactose derivatives (F1-F5) with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 3-4 (GL34), products of Lactobacillus reuteri glucansucrases, with lactose and sucrose as substrates. Here, we show that these GL34 compounds are largely resistant to the hydrolytic activities of common carbohydrate-degrading enzymes. Also, the ability of single strains of gut bacteria, bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, and commensal bacteria, to ferment the GL34 compounds was studied. Bifidobacteria clearly grew better on the GL34 mixture than lactobacilli and commensal bacteria. Lactobacilli and the commensal bacteria Escherichia coli Nissle and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron only degraded the F2 compound α-D-Glcp-(1 → 2)-[β-D-Galp-(1 → 4)-]D-Glcp, constituting around 30% w/w of GL34. Bifidobacteria digested more than one compound from the GL34 mixture, varying with the specific strain tested. Bifidobacterium adolescentis was most effective, completely degrading four of the five GL34 compounds, leaving only one minor constituent. GL34 thus represents a novel oligosaccharide mixture with (potential) synbiotic properties towards B. adolescentis, synthesized from cheap and abundantly available lactose and sucrose.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common neoplasias worldwide, and its incidence is increasing. Consumption of prebiotics is a useful strategy in order to prevent this important disease. These nutraceutical compounds might exert protective biological functions as antitumors. In order to test the chemopreventive effect of GOS-Lu (galacto-oligosaccharides derived from lactulose) prebiotic preparation against this cancer, an animal model (Rattus norvegicus F344) was used. In this model, two doses of azoxymethane (10 mg/kg) and two treatments with dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) were administered to the animals. Animals were fed for 20 weeks, and either control drinking water or drinking water containing 10% (w/w) GOS-Lu prebiotic preparation was provided to them. Animals were sacrificed after those 20 weeks, and their digestive tract tissues were analyzed. The results revealed a statistically significant reduction in the number of colon tumors in the GOS-Lu cohort with respect to control animals. Metagenomics sequencing was used for studying colon microbiota populations, revealing significant reductions in populations of pro-inflammatory bacteria families and species, and significant increases in interesting beneficial populations, such as Bifidobacterium. Therefore, oral administration of the prebiotic GOS-Lu preparation may be an effective strategy for preventing CRC.
