Abstract

In this study, we first investigated the survival of three probiotic strains, individually and combined with acerola by-product during simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Next, we investigated the effects of acerola by-product combined with Bifidobacterium longum BB-46 on a gut microbiota model (SHIME (R)). Chemical composition, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity of the acerola by-product and microbial counts, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), ammonium ions () and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) analysis of the SHIME (R) samples were performed. Acerola by-product revealed high protein and fibre, reduced lipid contents, and showed to be an excellent source of total phenolic compounds with high in vitro antioxidant activity. A decreased amount of in the ascending colon and an increase (p < .05) in SCFAs were observed in the three regions of colon during treatment with BB-46 and acerola by-product. BB-46 combined with acerola by-product showed positive effects on the gut microbiota metabolism in SHIME (R) model. (AU)
