1-Kestose (CAS 470-69-9)
QUICK LINKS
1-Kestose is a carbohydrate compound that functions as a prebiotic in experiment. It acts by selectively promoting the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the gut microbiota. 1-Kestose is not digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract, allowing it to reach the colon where it can serve as a substrate for the growth of specific bacterial species. Through this mechanism, 1-Kestose can modulate the composition and metabolic activity of the gut microbiota, potentially leading to various physiological effects. Its role as a prebiotic involves promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, which are associated with various health benefits. 1-Kestose′s mechanism of action involves targeting and supporting the growth of these beneficial bacterial species, contributing to the balance and diversity of the gut microbiota.
