Human milk oligosaccharide for improving health of intestinal microenvironment and use thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure provides human milk oligosaccharide for improving the health of intestinal microenvironment and the use thereof. Specifically, the present disclosure provides the use of human milk oligosaccharide, especially the fucosyl-based oligosaccharide 2′-FL or 3-FL in the preparation of a food for improving the health of the intestinal microenvironment, wherein the improving the health of the intestinal microenvironment includes: functioning as prebiotics in the intestinal system that are used by intestinal flora to produce gas, lowering pH to maintain the health of the intestinal microenvironment, and/or reducing branched chain fatty acids such as isobutyric acid and/or isovaleric acid. The human milk oligosaccharide of the present disclosure is used to be added into infant foods (including infant formula powder, supplementary food, and nutritional supplements), and nutritional supplements or foods for children at the age of 3 years or older, adolescents and adults, and has broad application prospects.
