  • Publication number: 20230285431
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides human milk oligosaccharide for improving the health of intestinal microenvironment and the use thereof. Specifically, the present disclosure provides the use of human milk oligosaccharide, especially the fucosyl-based oligosaccharide 2?-FL or 3-FL in the preparation of a food for improving the health of the intestinal microenvironment, wherein the improving the health of the intestinal microenvironment includes: functioning as prebiotics in the intestinal system that are used by intestinal flora to produce gas, lowering pH to maintain the health of the intestinal microenvironment, and/or reducing branched chain fatty acids such as isobutyric acid and/or isovaleric acid.

  • Patent number: 11666613
    Abstract: A new use of Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei K56 capable of regulating the gastrointestinal flora balance is described. The deposit number of the Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei is DSM27447. This strain alone has the ability to significantly promote the growth of intestinal Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, suppress Desulfovibrio and/or Enterobacteria in the intestine, suppress Helicobacter and/or Escherichia-Shigella, and can endure a simulated in vitro gastrointestinal fluid stress environment. Experiments in mice show that this strain has no acute oral toxicity, no antibiotic resistance, and may be safely used in food processing.
