Abstract

Background

Soybean whey, a by-product of tofu manufacturing, is currently discarded by the food industry. However, it contains valuable compounds such as non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO), which promote the growth of beneficial lactic acid bacteria in the colon, and are therefore recognized as prebiotics. Acidic fermentation of NDO in the caecum appears to be related with an increase in mineral absorption.

Aim of the study

To evaluate the effect of consuming soybean whey containing galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) on mineral absorption and caecal fermentation in rats.

Methods

An in vivo assay was carried out in rats over a period of 4 weeks; previously, the nutritional composition of soybean whey was determined and NDO were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Faeces and urine were collected weekly throughout the experiment for mineral balance analyses. Animals were killed under anaesthesia, organs were removed and weighed, and short-chain fatty acids in the caecal contents were determined by gas chromatography.

Results and conclusions

Non-digestible carbohydrates such as GOS stachyose (318 ± 3 mg/100 mL) and traces of inulin were identified by HPLC. When soybean whey was used as a source of GOS in rats, the consumption of diluted soybean whey (75 mL/day per rat) containing GOS (120 mg/day per rat) exhibited a prebiotic effect and led to an improved mineral balance, especially for calcium and magnesium. In view of its composition and potential health-promoting properties, soybean whey could be used as a valuable ingredient in new functional foods.

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.
