- Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics- a review (2015, background): “GOS consumption in humans resulted in reduced activity of nitroreductase which is involved in producing genotoxic metabolites, indicating the potential of prebiotics and probiotics to reduce or prevent carcinogenesis (Macfarlane et al. 2006).”
- The role of the gut microbiota in energy metabolism and metabolic disease. (2009, background): “The daily amount taken in the diet necessary to exert a prebiotic effect is relatively small (5–20 g/day) [61,65].”
- Effect of inulin on the human gut microbiota: stimulation of Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (2008, background): “The bifidogenic effect of the prebiotic inulin in man is well documented((2,3)).”
- Interactions and competition within the microbial community of the human colon: links between diet and health. (2007, background): “Non-digestible dietary carbohydrates such as inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides are now widely used as prebiotics in order to manipulate the composition of the gut microbiota (Macfarlane et al., 2006).”
- Bacterial metabolism and health‐related effects of galacto‐oligosaccharides and other prebiotics (2007, background): “However, as reviewed recently (Macfarlane et al. 2006), the vast majority of studies on prebiotics have focused on inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and galacto-oligosaccharides ⁄ transgalactosylatedoligosaccharides (GOS ⁄ TOS).”
- Nutritional and environmental consequences of dietary fibre in pig nutrition: a review (2008, background): “Oligofructose, galacto-oligosaccharides and lactulose were clearly shown to increase Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli in the large intestine of humans (Macfarlane et al., 2006).”
