Soil fertility and productivity are severely impacted by exploitation and degradation processes. These threats, coupled with population growth and climatic changes, force us to search for innovative agroecological solutions. Prebiotics are one type of soil biostimulants that are used to enhance soil conditions, plant growth, and could contribute to...

Microbiome therapies (probiotic, prebiotic, and synbiotics) have been proposed as adjuvants in the control of central obesity; however, their results for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) remain inconclusive. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of microbiome therapies on central obesity as measured by wa...

This work aimed to investigate the effect of EPS (extracellular polysaccharide) of Weissella cibaria as a prebiotic to promote the growth and antibacterial properties of Lactobacillus rhamnosus. The morphological, growth behavior, and antibacterial properties of L. rhamnosus were determined in MRSB (de Man Rogosa Sharpe broth) supplemented with dif...

This study aimed to determine the effect of crude oligosaccharide extract from coconut milk meal (CMM) and spent tea leaves (ST) on the performance and gut development of broiler chickens. A total of 240 one-day-old unsexed broiler chicks (ROSS 308) were raised on litter-floored pens and had ad libitum access to water for 42 days. The experiment wa...

Despite functional goat milk products having emerged due to their importance for human nutrition and health, few studies have assessed the safety of consumption of goat dairy products containing potentially probiotic autochthonous lactic acid bacteria supplemented with prebiotic carbohydrates. Aiming this field, this study evaluated the safety of g...

The use of prebiotics has an effect on postprandial glucose and insulin concentrations; however, the interaction between the previous profile of the intestinal microbiota and the effect of supplementation with prebiotics is not clear. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of previous intestinal microbiota profile on the postprandial insulin resp...

Arabinoxylan (AX) and arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS) derived therefrom are emergent prebiotics with promising health promoting properties, likely linked to its capacity to foster beneficial species in the human gut. Bifidobacteria appear to be one taxa that is frequently promoted following AX or AXOS consumption, and that is known to establish...

Prebiotics are substrates selectively utilized by host microorganisms conferring a health benefit. The effects of prebiotics on the gut microbiome of individuals with inflammatory processes need further investigations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of prebiotics on the gastrointestinal microbiome of individuals with some typ...
Tesis por compendio / [ES] Uno de los desafíos clave que se presenta en el siglo XXI es la necesidad de alimentar a una población cada vez mayor con recursos naturales cada vez más limitados. Adicionalmente, el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) 12 de la Agenda 2030 aboga por formas de producción y consumo más sostenibles. En este sentido, se ...
