Book excerpt: Protein isolates are a growing market share in the food industry both as food ingredients and as supplements. All dietary habits can influence and alter the gut microbiome; however, little is known about how protein isolates from different sources will change the composition and function of the gut microbiota under high and low fiber conditions. The study aims to determine the microbiome response to plant and animal protein isolates under high- and low-dietary fiber (H/LDF) conditions. Six commercially available protein isolates (beef, egg white, milk, pea, and two soy protein isolates) were subjected to in vitro enzymatic digestion and dialysis followed by in vitro fermentation with four microbiomes differing in dietary history. Two fermentation media containing 0.1% and 1% fermentable carbohydrate simulated LDF and HDF conditions, respectively. Plant protein isolates, which were all from legumes, had similar amino acid profiles, while the animal protein isolates had very different amino acid profiles depending on source. Under the HDF condition, the microbiome was primarily saccharolytic and there were minimal differences in fermentation properties among the different digested protein isolates. In contrast, under the LDF condition, the microbiome was proteolytic, as evidenced by decreases in peptide concentrations during fermentation and unique shifts in microbiome composition and function during fermentation of the digested protein isolates. Under the LDF condition, digested milk protein isolate increased the abundance of bacteria in the Clostridia class and the Firmicutes phylum with concomitant increases in butyrate production. Flavonifractor and Intestinimonas, genera with butyrate-producing pathways, were identified as differentially abundant genera associated with digested milk protein isolate after 24 h of fermentation. Soy proteins also resulted in high butyrate production, but induced increases in Uncl_Lachnospiraceae, Lachnoclostridium, and Butyricicoccus genera, suggesting a different pathway for butyrate production compared with digested milk protein isolate. Although digested milk protein and soy protein isolates resulted in high butyrate production, they also led to the highest concentrations of undesirable protein fermentation metabolites, ammonia and cadaverine, during fermentation. Several amino acids were found to be significantly correlated to metabolite production under the LDF condition, with glutamate and proline having a significantly positive correlation with butyrate production. In conclusion, digested protein isolates have differential effects on the gut microbiome, but only under conditions where dietary fiber is limited. Notably, digested milk and soy protein isolates were highly butyrogenic and increased abundance of some beneficial gut microbial taxa, but also led to high concentration of deleterious protein fermentation metabolites.

Book excerpt: There is potential to increase microbiota accessible carbohydrates (MAC) in whole grains through food processing. Therefore, different processing conditions for boiling and extrusion of whole wheat flour were studied for their effect on MAC. Processing conditions had a minimal effect on fermentation response using 2 fecal samples of disparate composition. However, the processing method had an impact on the fermentation of non-digestible carbohydrates and subsequent short chain fatty acids production, but only for a microbiome with high diversity and a predominance of microbes associated with dietary fiber intake. Subsequently, five processing methods: boiling, extrusion, unleavened bread, yeast bread, and sourdough bread, were studied for their effects on in vitro fermentation of whole wheat flour using the fecal microbiota from 10 subjects. Different grain processing operations caused varying shifts in microbiota composition and activity. Notably, sourdough bread supported a diverse microbial community that produced more butyrate and propionate. Conversely, extrusion led to decreases in diversity and butyrate and propionate production, but enabled increase carbohydrate fermentation. These differences were attributed to changes in the microstructure of the grains. In order to better understand the effects of grain processing on host health, two microbiomes that ranged in diversity and were from subjects who habitually consumed high and low levels of dietary fiber and whole grains, were inoculated into germ free mice. These mice were then fed isocaloric western diets supplemented with cellulose (control), boiled whole wheat, extruded whole wheat, or extruded brown rice. The mice harboring the microbiome from the low dietary fiber consumer had increases in diversity due to whole grains and the whole grain source and processing had differential effects. The mice harboring the microbiome from the high dietary fiber consumer was more diverse and was minimally affected by treatment. These mice had reduced body fat and body weight gain with boiled whole wheat compared to extruded whole wheat while there was no difference between brown rice and whole wheat. Both microbiomes had reduced glucose tolerance with extruded grains. Thus, both the digestion and fermentation are important factors of the effect of whole grains and food processing on host health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microbial endocrinology represents a newly emerging interdisciplinary field that is formed by the intersection of the fields of neurobiology and microbiology. This book will introduce a new perspective to the current understanding not only of the factors that mediate the ability of microbes to cause disease, but also to the mechanisms that maintain normal homeostasis. The discovery that microbes can directly respond to neuroendocrine hormones, as evidenced by increased growth and production of virulence-associated factors, provides for a new framework with which to investigate how microorganisms interface not only with vertebrates, but also with invertebrates and even plants. The reader will learn that the neuroendocrine hormones that one most commonly associates with mammals are actually found throughout the plant, insect and microbial communities to an extent that will undoubtedly surprise many, and most importantly, how interactions between microbes and neuroendocrine hormones can influence the pathophysiology of infectious disease.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gut microbiome plays an important role in modulating host health. Often, this is through fermentation of complex carbohydrates that are undigested by the human enzymes. The metabolites released from this fermentation, like butyrate a short chain fatty acid, have been found to promote improved gut health. Resistant starch (RS) is a type of dietary fiber that has been highly associated with butyrate production. The goal of this dissertation was to understand how the consumption of RS effects gut microbiota changes, corresponding butyrate production, and inflammatory levels in the gut. This was accomplished with 2 clinical trials that implemented small doses of RS from daily potato side dishes (2.0-2.9g/day) and larger quantities of 3 RS (24g/day). For the daily potato intake, alpha diversity decreased for the during the potato treatment, but beta diversity showed no significant clustering for the dietary treatments. During differential abundance analyses, two species in particular, H. xylanolytica and R. faecis, were significantly enriched during the potato treatment, which may be associated with RS3 from the cooked and cooled source. No changes were found for the main RS degraders, B.adolescentis and R.bromii at the low levels of RS supplementation, nor were there changes were found for fecal SCFA when consuming potato side dishes compared to an isocaloric serving of refined grains. It is unclear what are the physiological implications of the microbiota shift, and more work needs to be done to determine health outcome differences for modest dietary changes with whole food sources, like what was implemented in this study (2.0-2.9 g/day). The clinical trial with consumption of 3 different RS (PS, HM, and VF), with CS in-between, aimed to better understand how these RS impact the gut microbiota and gut inflammation levels (NGAL and calprotectin). Participants selected were either normal BMI (18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2) and obese BMI (>30kg/m2) to also determine differences in response between BMI groups. The RS treatments themselves had significant impacts on microbiome composition and inflammatory response, but responses between normal and obese BMI participants varied at times. Measures of alpha diversity showed decreases in diversity during RS supplementation, compared to baseline. Beta diversity was significantly different for RS treatment when factoring in BMI and gender. Overall, certain species with RS degrading and butyrate producing capabilities had clear associations with certain RS. B. adolescentis was significantly enriched during PS, while R. bromii and E. rectale were enriched for HM and VF. However, the only significant SCFA increase was acetate during PS, but no changes for butyrate. Additionally, certain species had associations with high and low NGAL levels, with an interesting one being OTU 00014 of R. bromii being more abundant with high NGAL levels. Conflicting results in species with high and low NGAL level associations may suggest that similar species are enriched during the RS treatments, but inflammatory responses may differ between individuals. Particularly, changes in NGAL levels differed when splitting the participants by BMI. Normal BMI participants showed significant decreases in NGAL during all of the RS treatments, whereas obese participants showed overall increases in NGAL, with VF and CS being significant. Previous studies have shown butyrate having pro-inflammatory effects with pre-existing inflammation, so caution may be necessary when recommending RS. RS degraders, B. adolescentis and R. bromii had differences in correlations with butyrate producers compared to each other, with differences even between R. bromii itself with its different OTUs (00014 and 00015). The OTUs of R. bromii seemed to have opposite patterns to one another, with OTU 00014 being negatively associated with the butyrate producers and OTU 00015 being positively associated with the butyrate producers. These differences in the interconnectedness RS degraders with the microbiota is further complicated by the interindividual presence of the RS degraders in participants. R bromii OTUs 00014 and 00015 appear to be mutually exclusive from one another, and proportions with B. adolescentis varied from individual to individual. It is likely that the presence or absence of these RS degraders is another key aspect for RS supplementation. Overall, this research has provided new findings for how RS affects the gut microbiome and inflammation, but more research needs to be done to investigate these effects at greater detail. Especially with the goal of personalized nutrition, interindividual differences and general grouping of individuals need to be better understood before having true confidence in choosing which RS is appropriate to consume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Food Forum convened a public workshop on February 22-23, 2012, to explore current and emerging knowledge of the human microbiome, its role in human health, its interaction with the diet, and the translation of new research findings into tools and products that improve the nutritional quality of the food supply. The Human Microbiome, Diet, and Health: Workshop Summary summarizes the presentations and discussions that took place during the workshop. Over the two day workshop, several themes covered included: The microbiome is integral to human physiology, health, and disease. The microbiome is arguably the most intimate connection that humans have with their external environment, mostly through diet. Given the emerging nature of research on the microbiome, some important methodology issues might still have to be resolved with respect to undersampling and a lack of causal and mechanistic studies. Dietary interventions intended to have an impact on host biology via their impact on the microbiome are being developed, and the market for these products is seeing tremendous success. However, the current regulatory framework poses challenges to industry interest and investment.

Book excerpt: The instant New York Times, USA Today, and Publisher's Weekly bestseller A bold new plant-based plan that challenges popular keto and paleo diets, from an award-winning gastroenterologist. The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B," illuminates in this groundbreaking book, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show--and what Dr. B preaches with his patients--is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases. And the scientifically proven way to fuel our guts is with dietary fiber from an abundant variety of colorful plants. Forget about the fiber your grandmother used to take--the cutting-edge science on fiber is incredibly exciting. As Dr. B explains, fiber energizes our gut microbes to create powerhouse postbiotics called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are essential to our health. SCFAs are scientifically proven to promote weight loss, repair leaky gut, strengthen the microbiome, optimize the immune system, reduce food sensitivities, lower cholesterol, reverse type 2 diabetes, improve brain function, and even prevent cancer. Restrictive fad diets starve the gut of the critical fiber we need, weaken the microbes, and make our system vulnerable. As a former junk-food junkie, Dr. B knows firsthand the power of fiber to dramatically transform our health. The good news is that our guts can be trained. Fiber-rich, real foods--with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes--start working quickly and maintain your long-term health, promote weight loss, and allow you to thrive and feel great from the inside out. With a 28-day jumpstart program with menus and more than 65 recipes, along with essential advice on food sensitivities, Fiber Fueled offers the blueprint to start turbocharging your gut for lifelong health today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A much-needed guide to in vitro food functionality evaluation principles, processes, and state-of-the-art modeling There are more than a few books devoted to the assessment of food functionality but, until now, there were no comprehensive guides focusing on the increasingly important subject of in vitro food evaluation. With contributions from the world’s foremost experts in the field, this book brings readers up to speed on the state-of-the-art in in vitro modeling, from its physiological bases to its conception, current uses, and future developments. Food functionality is a broad concept encompassing nutritional and health functionality, food safety and toxicology, as well as a broad range of visual and organoleptic properties of food. In vitro techniques bridge the gap between standard analytical techniques, including chemical and biochemical approaches and in vivo human testing, which remains the ultimate translational goal for evaluation of the functionality of food. Although it is a well- established field, in vitro food testing continues to evolve toward ever more accurate predictions of in vivo properties and outcomes. Both ethical and highly economical, these approaches allow for detailed mechanistic insights into food functionalities and, therefore, a better understanding of the interactions of food and human physiology. Reviews the core concepts of food functionality and functionality evaluation methodologies Provides an overview of the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract, including host-microbial interactions within it Delves into the physiology of sensory perception of food, taste and texture as they relate to in vitro modeling Explores the challenges of linking in vitro analysis of taste, aroma and flavor to their actual perception Addresses in vitro models of the digestion and absorption of macronutrients, micronutrients, and phytonutrients Describes in vitro evaluations of toxicants, allergens and other specific food hazards Functional Foods and Beverages is an indispensable working resource for food scientists as well as researchers working in government facilities dedicated to tracking food safety.
