Prebiotics have gained attention for their potential to modulate intestinal microbiota and promote gut health. This study explores the prebiotic potential of mango, banana, and olive fruit peels and their synbiotic relationship with probiotic strains. Fruit peels were analyzed for their composition, functional properties, and antioxidant potential. Results showed variations in moisture, ash, protein, fiber, fat, and carbohydrate content among the fruit peel powders. Total phenolic content and antioxidant activity showed significant differences. Functional groups and phytochemical compounds in the peel powders were identified by FTIR and GC-MS. The synbiotic relationship between the fruit peel powders and probiotic strains was investigated. Supplementation of the fruit peel powders significantly increased probiotic counts, indicating potential synbiotic effects. The proliferation of probiotic strains varied depending on the strain, peel powder concentration, and incubation time. Mango and banana peel powders showed promising effects on promoting probiotic proliferation, while olive peel powder generally exhibited less impact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
