A nutritional composition having beneficial effect in the gastrointestinal tract, especially an anti-adhesion effect on pathogenic micro-organisms and a bifidogenic effect, contains non-digestible oligosaccharides, said oligosaccharides comprising, per daily dosage, 0.3-10 g of oligosaccharides containing at least one terminal arabinose unit. The nutritional composition may furhermore comprise 0.5-10 g of other non-digestible oligosaccharides selected from fructo-oligosaccharides, galacto-oligosaccharides, xylo-oligosaccharides and manno-oligosaccharides. The arabino-oligosaccharides can be obtained conveniently by controlled hydrolysis of arabinose-containing polysaccharides irom natural (vegetable) origin.
A nutritional composition in individual single or multiple daily dosage form, containing non-digestible oligosaccharides, said oligosaccharides comprising, per daily dosage, 0.3-10 g of non-digestible oligosaccharides containing at least one terminal arabinose unit.
A complete food composition containing proteins (4-35 wt. %), lipids (4-35 wt. %), and digestible carbohydrates (30-90 wt. %), said composition containing, on a dry weight basis, 0.07-6% of non-digestible oligosaccharides containing at least one terminal arabinose unit.
A nutritional supplement containing, on a dry weight basis, (1) 1-90% of non-digestible oligosaecharides containing at least one terminal arabinose unit, (2) 0-50% of other non-digestible oligosaccharides, (3) 2-50% of non-digestible polysaceharides, the total of (1), (2) and (3) being at least 20%, and (4) 4-80% of digestible carbohydrates.
Use of oligosaccharides containing at least one terminal arabinose unit, in preparing a nutritional composition for the prevention and treatment of adhesion of pathogenic micro-organisms to the intestinal wall, and/or for the enhancement of bifidogenic micro-organisms in the intestinal tract.
A saccharide mixture obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of arabinose-containing polysaccharides, containing:
