Bioactive Compound: short-chain fatty acids (acetate, propionate, butyrate)

Exploring the Prebiotic Potentials of Hydrolyzed Pectins: Mechanisms of Action and Gut Microbiota Modulation

Pectins are fiber-like compounds found in fruits and vegetables that can benefit gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria. When pectins are broken down into smaller pieces (oligosaccharides), they work better as prebiotics, promoting the growth of healthy gut bacteria that produce beneficial substances called short-chain fatty acids. These compounds may help improve digestive health, strengthen immunity, and reduce inflammation.
