GOFFIN Dorothée (2010) Enzymatic production of purified Isomaltooligosaccharide prebiotic preparations and their full qualitative and quantitative characterization. (PhD Thesis). Gembloux, Université de Liège, Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the host health by stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon, and moreover can have systemic effects on metabolism regulation. Recent studies have pointed out the certain links between their structure (DP, types of linkage, sequence) and the specificity and intensity of their effects on host health. Therefore, the knowledge of
