Abstract/Summary

Pectic oligosaccharides were observed to have bifidogenic prebiotic properties. Pectic oligosaccharides were also found to possess anti-adhesive properties for food pathogen toxins and they stimulated apoptosis of colon cancer cells. Orange peel albedo (white part) was a good source of pectic oligosaccharides with prebiotic properties. Microwave and autoclave extraction produced pectic oligosaccharides with higher degrees of polymerization than those produced with an ultrafiltration dead-end membrane enzyme reactor. We propose that these larger orange albedo pectic oligosaccharides may have greater persistence through the colon, making them excellent candidates for second generation prebiotic product development.
