Bowel habits, faecal microbiota and faecal bile acid composition of healthy adults consuming fruit pomace fibres: two-arm, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials.

Dietary fibre modulates gastrointestinal (GI) health and function, providing laxation, shifting microbiota, and altering bile acid (BA) metabolism. Fruit juice production removes the polyphenol- and fibre-rich pomace fraction. The effects of orange and apple pomaces on GI outcomes were investigated in healthy, free-living adults.

Formulation of Orange Juice with Dietary Fibers Enhances Bioaccessibility of Orange Flavonoids in Juice but Limits Their Ability to Inhibit Glucose Transport.

The effect of formulating orange juice (OJ) with dietary fibers (DFs) on bioaccessibility of flavonoids and their ability to inhibit glucose transport in Caco-2 cells were investigated on Valencia orange fruit (OF), OJ, and OJ formulated with 1 and 2.8% DFs. DFs were either orange pomace (P) or commercial pulverized citrus pulp fiber (CF).

Enzyme-treated orange pomace alters acute glycemic response to orange juice.

The goal of the present study was to determine the impact of the addition of enzyme-treated orange pomace to orange juice on postprandial glycemic response. Ten healthy subjects (aged 27.9 ± 7.

Glucose release of water-soluble starch-related alpha-glucans by pancreatin and amyloglucosidase is affected by the abundance of alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkages.

This study tested the hypothesis that an increased branch density (i.e., the percentage of alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkage) in water-soluble, starch-related alpha-glucans leads to reduced glucose release by pancreatin and amyloglucosidase.
