Dear Kazem
Aspergillus Meal (AM), has no live cells or spores and is proven to enhance the digestive efficiency of the gut. It might act as substrates for favourable bacteria such as Lactobacillus in the intestinal microbial system that subsequently reduces
Salmonella or E. coli concentrations.
Mannanoligosaccharides is obtained from yeast cell wall (Saccharomyces cervisiae). They are components of the outer layer of yeast cell walls and their components include proteins, glucans and phosphate radicals as well as mannose. The basic composition of the wall consist of mannan (30%), glucan (30%) and protein (12.5%). While the ratio of one component to another remains relatively constant from strain to strain, the degree of mannan phosphorylation and the interaction among the mannan, glucan and protein components vary.
Mannanolig-osaccharides contain protein which has relatively high proportion of serine, threonine, aspartic and glutamic acids and a paucity of methionine. The exact mechanism through which pathogenic bacteria are inhibited by mannose is unclear, though two theories have been presented. One being that MOS may
adsorb bacteria containing type-1 fimbriae inhibiting them from binding to the carbohydrate moieties of the intestinal lining. The other being one of agglutination, that MOS causes pathogenic cells with type-1 fimbriae to aggregate or clump, brining them out of solution.
Prebiotic is obtained from yeast cell wall (Saccharomyces cervisiae) and from bacteria like Lactobacillus or Bifidiobacterium but not Aspergillus .
