Specific dietary fibers steer toward distal colonic saccharolytic fermentation using the microbiota of individuals with overweight/obesity
The most marked increase in distal colonic SCFA production was induced by combining potato-fiber and pectin. Further research should elucidate whether this switch toward saccharolytic fermentation translates into beneficial metabolic health effects in humans.
