Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are well known as prebiotics which improve intestinal microflaura. FOS also have increasing effect on the intestinal absorption of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and iron. These effects were inspected by many animal experiments and then by human studies. Especially, FOS clearly prevent the decrease of bone mineral density by gastrectomy in rats. In this report, we mainly explain the preventive effect of FOS on the bone of gastrectomized rats and introduce relationship between another food ingredient or exercise.

Prebiotics, traditionally linked to gut health, are increasingly recognized for their systemic benefits, influencing multiple organ systems through interactions with the gut microbiota. Compounds like inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), and galactooligosaccharides (GOS) enhance short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, benefiting neurocognitive health, cardiovascular function, immune modulation, and skin integrity. Advances in biotechnology, including deep eutectic solvents (DES) for extraction and machine learning (ML) for personalized formulations, have expanded prebiotic applications.

Article Synopsis
- Synbiotics, particularly BL-99 and fructooligosaccharide (FOS), show promise in alleviating constipation by positively affecting gut microbiota and metabolites.
- A study on loperamide-induced constipated mice revealed that individual and combined treatments significantly improved defecation parameters.
- The combination of BL-99 and FOS notably enhanced gastrointestinal function and biochemical markers, suggesting a potential new approach for treating constipation through gut health regulation.

Zein-based nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted considerable attention as potential delivery systems for bioactive compounds. However, their application has been limited by poor stability and redispersibility. In this study, we addressed these challenges by fabricating zein nanocarriers using branching structural fructo-oligosaccharides (P-FOS) and sodium caseinate (NaCas) as costabilizers.

Certain dietary fibers exhibit prebiotic effects on gut microbiota, but their influence on oral health remains unclear. This study conducted a systematic review across four databases to examine the potential effects of dietary fibers on dental caries. Data selection and extraction were conducted independently and in duplicate.
