Popis: The prebiotic potential of the extracts of a South Australian brown seaweed Ecklonia radiata obtained using different processes was investigated. Six extracts of this seaweed were prepared by enzymatic, acidic, and water extraction processes. The extracts were added to an in vitro anaerobic fermentation system containing human faecal inocula to assess their ability to generate short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and to promote the growth of selected bacterial genera (as assessed by quantitative PCR). Following 24 h fermentation, all seaweed extracts significantly increased (P
