RA Reimer, A Soto-Vaca, AC Nicolucci… - The American Journal of …, 2020 - Elsevier
Background The low intake of dietary fiber compared to recommended amounts has been
referred to as the dietary fiber gap. The addition of fiber to snack foods could favorably alter
gut microbiota and help individuals meet intake recommendations. Objectives Our objective
was to examine the effect of low-and moderate-dose fiber-containing snack bars, comprising
mainly chicory root inulin-type fructans (ITF), on gut microbiota in healthy adults with habitual
low dietary fiber intake using 16S ribosomal RNA–based approaches. Methods In 2 …
