Abstract in brief

  • Dietary fiber, including polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, is linked to health benefits such as reducing cardiovascular disease risk, supporting gut health, and aiding in weight management.
  • Oligosaccharides like inulin and fructooligosaccharides are considered prebiotics because they promote beneficial gut bacteria like Bifidobacterium by resisting digestion and being fermented in the colon.
  • Besides inulin, other carbohydrates such as GOS, TOS, resistant starch, and certain foods like whole grains, bananas, and acacia gum also have prebiotic effects, contributing to gastrointestinal health and overall well-being.]
