AI Article Synopsis
- Edible mushrooms have the ability to influence gut bacteria, with this study focusing on the prebiotic effects of digested mushroom powder (MUS) during colonic fermentation.
- MUS contains phenolic compounds like epicatechin, gallic acid, and quercetin 3-glucoside, which were shown to enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria while reducing the presence of less helpful strains.
- The study found that MUS boosts the production of lactic acid and short-chain fatty acids, lowers pH levels, and contains essential amino acids, indicating its potential health benefits for human gut microbiota.
Article Abstract
The ability of edible mushrooms to modulate the intestinal microbiota is a topic of interest. This study shows that digested powder (MUS) exhibits prebiotic effects during an colonic fermentation. Phenolic compounds, including epicatechin (3.03 ± 1.54 mg/L), gallic acid (2.71 ± 1.54 mg/L), and quercetin 3-glucoside (2.40 ± 1.54 mg/L), were found in . MUS significantly increased the relative abundance of spp./ spp. (1.12% - 4.83%), spp. (0.59% - 1.85%), (0.37% - 1.88%), and reduced (2.89% - 1.22%) during 48 of colonic fermentation. MUS enhanced lactic acid and short-chain fatty acid production and decreased pH levels. The H NMR analysis revealed the presence of essential amino acids, branched-chain amino acids, and other compounds that benefit human health. The results indicate the prebiotic effects of on human intestinal microbiota.
