Abstract

Prebiotics and probiotics play a positive role in promoting human nutrition and health. Prebiotics are compounds that cannot be digested by the host, but can be used and fermented by probiotics, so as to promote the reproduction and metabolism of intestinal probiotics for the health of body. It has been confirmed that probiotics have clinical or health care functions in preventing or controlling intestinal, respiratory, and urogenital infections, allergic reaction, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome and other aspects. However, there are few systematic summaries of these types, mechanisms of action and the promotion relationship between prebiotics and probiotic. Therefore, we summarized the various types of prebiotics and probiotics, their individual action mechanisms, and the mechanism of prebiotics promoting probiotics in the intestinal tract. It is hoped this review can provide new ideas for the application of prebiotics and probiotics in the future.

The preparation technology and application of xylo-oligosaccharide as prebiotics in different fields: A review

Xylo-oligosaccharide (XOS) has been shown to promote intestinal motility utilization and root development, with maturing preparation and extraction technologies, and is now being used in animal feed, human food additives, and medicine.

A novel solvothermal biorefinery for production of lignocellulosic xylooligosaccharides, fermentable sugars and lignin nano-particles in biphasic system.

The novel solvothermal biorefinery effectively saccharifies moso bamboo, achieving high cellulose recovery, hemicellulose removal, and lignin extraction, with potential for environmentally friendly biomass production.

Toward green production of xylooligosaccharides and glucose from sorghum straw biowaste by sequential acidic and enzymatic hydrolysis

Gluconic acid pretreatment effectively enhances the value of hemicellulose and cellulose from sorghum straw, achieving a maximum xylooligosaccharide yield of 50.3% with 7.5% acidic hydrolysis.

Production of prebiotic xylooligosaccharides from industrial-derived xylan residue by organic acid treatment.

Organic acid treatments can effectively produce prebiotic xylooligosaccharides from industrial-derived xylan residue, with citric acid showing a better ability than maleic acid.
