Modulation of Human Gut Microbiota In Vitro by Inulin-Type Fructan from Codonopsis pilosula Roots
Inulin-type fructan (ITF) defined as a polydisperse carbohydrate consisting mainly of β-(2–1) fructosyl-fructose links exerts potential prebiotics properties by selectively stimulating the growth of Bifidobacteri...
