PERSIMMON POWDER FROM FRUIT LOSS AS NOVEL PREBIOTICS TO MODULATE GUT MICROBIOTA
We evaluated the effects of dehydration and milling processes used to obtain powder from persimmon residues on colonic microbiota composition. Hot air drying at 70 °C was selected because it yielded a powder with the best functional properties. We then assessed the prebiotic effects of this persimmon-based ingredient on the postmenopausal women's microbiota in a long-term study using a dynamic intestinal simulator coupled with high-throughput sequencing.
