Overview

This study demonstrates a synergistic effect on short-chain fatty acid production in dietary fiber, indicating enhanced gut microbiota health.

Key Points

  • RF and EH treatments resulted in a 68.54% increase in total SCFA production after 6 hours.
  • Microbial analysis showed enrichment of propionate-producing bacteria, indicating improved gut microbiota composition.
  • The study utilized a pilot-scale RF heating system to enhance the fermentability of corn insoluble dietary fiber.
  • Results suggest that RF + EH treatment significantly improves the prebiotic potential of corn dietary fiber.
