Hemicellulose Biorefinery: A Sustainable Solution for Value Addition to Bio-Based Products and Bioenergy

Part of the book series: Clean Energy Production Technologies ((CEPT))

Abstract

The gastrointestinal tract is colonized by several bacteria that are directly associated with the well-being of the host. Bacteria related to the balance of intestinal flora are often used as dietary supplements, known as probiotics. Other products marketed as a functional ingredients are the prebiotics, nondigestible oligosaccharides known to selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria. Prebiotics such as xylooligosaccharides (XOs), fructooligosaccharides (FOs), and galactooligosaccharides (GOs) can be found naturally in fruits, vegetables, honey, and milk or industrially produced, such as XOs, obtained by the extraction and hydrolysis of hemicellulose derived from lignocellulosic materials. There are also symbiotic products, which consist of added probiotic strains in prebiotic foods or ingredients. These types of ingredients can maintain homeostasis in the intestinal microbiota preventing the onset of some diseases, in addition to being considered an alternative to the use of antibiotics to treat some infections. Comprehending the action mechanisms of these ingredients is important for understanding various diseases and for formulating products that are effective in maintaining equilibrium of microbiota. The present review seeks to bring the most up-to-date research and advances in food nutrition involving intestinal microbiota as well as prebiotics, probiotics, and symbiotics.
