Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Food processing using plants as raw materials generates large quantities of processing byproducts. These are insufficiently utilized at present, and high added-value technology must be developed to ensure their efficient use. In this study, 23 kinds of oligosaccharides (OLs) were prepared from pectins and hemicelluloses, major components amongst these byproducts, by enzymatic decomposition and their physiological functions evaluated. Good results were observed for arabinoxylo-OLs, arabino-OLs, and xylo-OLs in terms of prebiotic activity, suggesting potential to improve the intestinal environment. Investigation of immunostimulatory and anti-inflammatory activities using mouse macrophage-like cells found high activity in terms of the former for methoxylated, unsaturated galacturonic acid (ΔGalA)-OLs, and in terms of the latter for free ΔGalA-OLs.
