Abstract

The in vitro digestive and fermentation properties of Sargassum pallidum polysaccharide (SPP) after ultrasound degradation were investigated. The results showed that SPP and its degraded fractions were not affected by human saliva, but slightly degraded by breaking glycosidic bonds under simulated gastrointestinal digestion. The DPPH radical scavenging activity, α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, and bile acid-binding capacity of SPP and its degraded fractions were decreased after digestion, which was attributed to the reduction of molecular weights (MWs) and viscosity. Furthermore, in vitro fermentation assay indicated that SPP and its degraded fractions showed good fermentability. The predominant compositional monosaccharides including arabinose, galactose, glucose, xylose, and uronic acid were significantly decreased, and the degraded SPP fractions were more easily fermented and utilized by gut bacteria. SPP and its degraded fractions could modulate gut health by decreasing the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and increasing the relative abundances of some beneficial genera, such as Prevotella, Dialister, Phascolarctobacterium, Ruminococcus, and Bacteroides. These findings suggested that SPP and its degraded fractions exhibited similar influence on gut microbiota community, but appropriate degraded SPP fractions were more easily fermented by gut microbiota.
