Investigation of the prebiotic activity of mannan hydrolysates under in vitro conditions

The process of biomass accumulation of the probiotic culture Bifidobacterium bifidum in medium with different carbon sources - mannan, mannan hydrolysates, inulin, mannose was investigated. The intensity of metabolic processes B. bifidum during growth on different medium was determined. It was defined that the development of bifidobacteria on the medium with mannan hydrolysates characterized by high levels of biomass accumulation and production of organic acids, which confirms the prebiotic properties of mannooligosaccharides in conditions in vitro.
