| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Nutrients in the gut promote the evolutionary adaptation of host microbiota, which in turn play a critical role in gut health. Dietary carbohydrate deficiencies result in the loss of some commensal lactobacilli; however, the addition of microbiota-accessible carbohydrates (MACs) promotes the proliferation of commensal lactobacilli and improves gut health. MACs are a group of substances that are not absorbed from the digestive tract and enter the gut directly for use by microorganisms and are mainly dietary components or substances secreted by the host or microorganisms. Their mechanism of action is mainly to act as growth factors for probiotics, promote changes in the intestinal environment, and regulate the balance of gut microbiota. In addition, lactobacilli combined with MACs have a wide range of applications due to their ability to enhance the unique physiological properties, balance nutritional value, and improve the taste of fermented dairy products.</p> |
