A mechanistic study of the fermentation of β-glucans from different sources by bifidobacteria.

beta-Glucans are a kind of non-digestible carbohydrate (NDC) that are known for their benefits for human gut health, but there are very few studies on their fermentability by human colon microbiota. In this study four beta-glucans were selected for in vitro fermentation by three bifidobacteria. The...
