  1. 21. Prebiotic oligosaccharides and their fermentation products in a novel putative probiotic strain from the genus Weissella.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemi och biomedicin (KOB)

    Author : Sara Santesson; [2017]
    Keywords : Probiotics; prebiotics; Weissella; Weissella strain 92; oligosaccharides; short chain fatty acids SCFA ;

    Abstract : Our large intestine is like a large metabolic organ colonised by microorganisms. Beneficial probiotic bacteria are of interest since they might metabolise certain prebiotic carbohydrates and produce metabolites that are suggested to promote health and prevent diseases. READ MORE

  3. 22. Quantification of short chain fatty acids in serum and plasma

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Food Science

    Author : Jonna Skoglund; [2016]
    Keywords : short chain fatty acids; type 2 diabetes; GC-MS; dietary fibre; serum; plasma;

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become a major problem around the world. Current research has linked a high dietary fibre (DF)- intake with a number of health benefits and possible prevention of T2D. One proposed mechanism is via short chain fatty acids (SCFA), which are produced from fermentation of DF in the colon by the microflora. READ MORE

  4. 23. Analysis of short chain fatty acids in faecal samples : development and validation of a new method

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Food Science

    Author : Nils Ewald; [2016]
    Keywords : short chain fatty acids; SCFA; faeces; dietary fibre; quantification; gas chromatography; flame ionization detector; GC-FID;

    Abstract : Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) are produced by the gut microflora following the intake of complex carbohydrates and have been suggested as a contributor for some of the health benefits associated with dietary fibre (DF) intake. For further research of the mechanisms and effects of SCFA, reliable and accurate methods for analysis of SCFA in different biological samples are needed. READ MORE
