ABSTRACT
We aimed to study the structural characteristics and fermentation properties of wheat bran cell wall polysaccharides (CWPs). Sequential extractions of CWPs from wheat bran produced the water-extractable (WE) and alkali-extractable (AE) fractions. The extracted fractions were structurally characterized based on their molecular weight (Mw) and monosaccharide composition. Our findings revealed that the Mw and the ratio of arabinose to xylose (A/X) of AE were higher than those of WE and that the two fractions were mainly composed of arabinoxylans (AXs). The substrates were then subjected to in vitro fermentation by human fecal microbiota. As fermentation progressed, the total carbohydrates of WE were significantly more utilized than that of AE (p < 0.05). The AXs in WE were utilized at a higher rate than those in AE. The relative abundance of Prevotella_9, which can efficiently utilize AXs, was significantly increased in AE. The presence of AXs in AE shifted the balance away from protein fermentation and caused a delay in protein fermentation. Our study demonstrated that wheat bran CWPs can modulate the gut microbiota in a structure-dependent manner. However, future studies should further characterize the fine structure of wheat CWPs to clarify their detailed relationship with gut microbiota and metabolites.
