- Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the biological activities of purified xylooligosaccharides (XOS) derived from food industry by-products using a combination of biochemical, chromatographic, and in vivo experimental approaches. XOS were extracted from wheat bran and brewery’s spent grains via enzymatic hydrolysis following microwave-assisted pretreatment. The purity, degree of polymerization, and composition of XOS were confirmed by TLC, HPLC and FTIR. In vivo experiments were conducted on rats receiving 400 mg/kg of purified XOS for 18 days. Key results demonstrated that XOS administration significantly reduced serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL levels, and enhanced SCFA production and gut microbiota diversity, particularly Bifidobacterium spp and Lactobacillus spp. The antioxidant activity was confirmed through DPPH scavenging assay. These findings support the potential application of XOS as a functional food ingredient with prebiotic and metabolic benefits. Valorizing agro-industrial by-products into bioactive compounds like XOS contributes to sustainable health interventions and circular bioeconomy development.
