The Effect of Functional Dairy Products Enriched With Dietary Fibers on Human Health and Gut Microbiota
The purpose of this dietary intervention is to study the effects of dietary fibers on the gut microbiota and use yoghurt as the carrier.
Hypothesis 1: Intake of dietary fibers improves the blood lipid profile of the participants.
Hypothesis 2: Intake of dietary fibers stabilizes the gut microbiome (e.g., low diversity) of the participants, improves gut health and normalizes gastrointestinal function and bowel habits.
調査の概要
詳細な説明
The study design is a parallel randomized, prospective, pre-post intervention trial. The main goal of this study is to investigate the effect of the dietary fibers in an unsweetened yoghurt. Fermented dairy products have naturally a very low dietary fiber content, but such products can be supplemented with variety of dietary fibers and promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Also, as fermented milk products contain live bacteria, it is possible that prebiotic fibers could support the growth of the starter-culture based strains in the human gut.
