Protective effects of konjac glucomannan on gut microbiome with antibiotic perturbation in mice.

This study assessed the protective effects of konjac glucomannan (KGM) on gut microbiome against the antibiotic perturbation in C57BL/6J mice. The native KGM (1.82 × 10) was partially hydrolyzed by endo-1,4-β-mannanase, and two hydrolyzed fractions (KGM-eM with 3.

Effects of konjac glucomannan with different molecular weights on gut microflora with antibiotic perturbance in in vitro fecal fermentation.

This study investigated the effect of konjac glucomannan (KGM) of different molecular weight on fecal microflora against antibiotic disturbance. KGM (~1.8 × 10 Da) was partially hydrolysed with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) for 10 and 60 min to KGM1 (~2.
