Effect of malted rice amazake consumption on gut microbiome
The aim of this study was to investigate changes in gut microbiota both during and after the consumption of malted rice amazake (MR-Amazake), a fermented food from Japan, in home healthcare patients with disabilities including patients with severe motor and intellectual disabilities. This study suggests that six weeks is a reasonable period of time for MR-Amazake to change human gut microbiota and that continuous consumption of MR-Amazake is required to sustain the changes by intervention.
