Edible packaging films play an important role in extending the shelf life of food products. In this work, the properties of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) reinforced hemicelluloses/chitosan-based edible films with xylooligosaccharides (XOS) have been evaluated. Results showed that the tensile strength (TS) of the film can be increased by 2.5 times with adding 5 wt% CNF. Incorporating 1.79-7.18% XOS into hemicelluloses-chitosan matrix only caused slightly higher water vapor permeability, and the composite films exhibited good hydrophobicity, thermal stability, and high transparency. The hemicelluloses/chitosan films with 1.79-5.38% XOS had higher TS (42.7-50.7 MPa) and lower oxygen permeability (OP, 4.95-5.06 cm μm/m·day·kPa) than those containing 7.18% XOS. Additionally, ∼92.6% XOS in films can be released in simulated gastric fluid within 60 min. Overall, XOS (1.79-5.38%) with prebiotic properties can be added to films successfully to improve the functionality and the films were fit for food-packaging where high TS and low OP are required.

The growing interest in reducing sugar and fat in processed foods has led to the use of fibers with prebiotic potential, such as inulin and xylooligosaccharide (XOS), as substitutes capable of enhancing nutritional value and sensory quality. Using an innovative approach with Free Just-About-Right (FREE JAR) to obtain Drivers of Liking, this study evaluated consumer perception (n = 129) regarding the impact of adding inulin and XOS to Dulce de Leche with or without fat reduction. The term "Too Greasy" was significant for the product made with whole milk; however, adding inulin and XOS mitigated this effect and promoted the sensation of JAR sweetness.

Spent mushroom substrate (SMS), a lignocellulosic waste after mushroom production is generally discarded without proper management. There is increasing interest in the sustainable transformation of lignocellulosic waste into high-value products. Within this context, the present study investigated the potential of the SMS from the cultivation of and on rubber tree wood sawdust as substrates for xylooligosaccharides (XOS) production.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effects of a specific combination of synbiotics—probiotics and prebiotics—on obesity among 80 individuals over 12 weeks.
- Participants were randomly assigned to consume either synbiotics or a placebo, with various health metrics monitored before and after the intervention.
- Results showed that synbiotics significantly reduced body fat, waist size, and harmful cholesterol levels while promoting beneficial gut bacteria and hormone changes, particularly benefiting those with abnormal cholesterol levels.

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are excellent prebiotic which improve health through selective modulation of beneficial gut microbiome. Its production from agroresidues using microbial xylanase is considered as sustainable and economic approach. In this study a xylanase producing bacterium isolated from decaying wood soil was phylogenetically identified and designated as Bacillus stercoris DWS1.
