therapeutic action: intestinal barrier integrity maintenance

Comparative study on structural characterization, physicochemical properties, and in vitro probiotic activities of resistant starch from different varieties of Euryale ferox

Euryale ferox, a nutritious aquatic plant, contains two varieties with significantly different health benefits. North Euryale ferox has much higher levels of resistant starch (a special type of starch that resists digestion) compared to South Euryale ferox, making it potentially more beneficial for gut health and diabetes management. The resistant starch in this plant acts as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria while inhibiting harmful bacteria, supporting overall digestive and metabolic health.

Insights into the Mechanisms and Functional Effects of Insoluble Dietary Fiber Modification: A Review

Insoluble dietary fiber is important for digestive health but its rigid structure limits its usefulness in processed foods and medicine. Scientists can modify this fiber using various techniques like heating, pressure, enzymes, and chemicals to make it more effective. When combined properly, these modification strategies can dramatically improve dietary fiber’s ability to lower cholesterol, control blood sugar, and promote beneficial gut bacteria, making it valuable for functional foods and health applications.
