Estimating the term…
In one aspect, the present invention relates to an edible or thinkable composition that comprises alpha-1,6-mannans. In another aspect, the invention relates to an edible or drinkable composition that comprises endoglucanase-treated beta-1,3:1,6 glucans. The compositions are particularly suitable for use in a method of improving the immune and/or health status of a mammalian or non-mammalian subject. The present invention further relates to a method for decreasing the feed conversion ratio and/or increasing body weight in a non-human animal, comprising feeding the non-human animal with an edible or drinkable composition that comprises alpha-1,6-mannans and/or endoglucanase-treated beta-1,3:1,6 glucans. In a still further aspect, the invention relates to the use of an edible or drinkable composition that comprises alpha-1,6-mannans and/or endoglucanase-treated beta-1,3:1,6 glucans for improving the health or immune status of a mammalian or non-mammalian Finally, the invention relates to the use of an edible or drinkable composition that comprises alpha-1,6-mannans and/or endoglucanase-treated beta-1,3:1,6 glucans for decreasing the feed conversion ratio and/or increasing body weight in a non-human animal.
Edible or drinkable composition comprising endoglucanase-treated beta-1,3:1,6 glucans, wherein said composition comprises at least 3.0 g reducing sugars per 100 g dry matter of the composition, wherein the reducing sugars completely result from the decomposition of the glucans.
Edible or drinkable composition comprising alpha-1,6-mannans, wherein said composition comprises a ratio of soluble mannan/total mannan of at least 0.1 and a ratio of soluble mannan/total dry matter of at least 0.05.
Method for producing an edible or drinkable composition comprising endoglucanase-treated beta-1,3:1,6 glucans, said method comprising:
Method for producing an edible or drinkable composition comprising alpha-1,6-mannans, said method comprising:
