New Research Shows Molecular Structure Key to Immune Health Benefits of Precision Prebiotic Benicaros®
25 Oct 2024A recent study provides new insights into how the unique molecular structure and cell surface patterns of Benicaros®, a natural pectin polysaccharide fiber, contribute to enhancing immune system responses. The findings, published in the current issue of Carbohydrate Polymers, further validate the effectiveness of Benicaros as an immune-support ingredient.
The study primarily focuses on the immunological effects of Benicaros, a carrot rhamnogalacturonan-I (cRG-I) with a complex mixture of molecules with varying sizes. Researchers analyzed how different size-separated fractions of cRG-I—each varying in molecular weight, surface patterns (epitopes), and the degree of esterification—impact immune cell activity. Esterification is a chemical process where ester groups, such as acetyl groups, are added to cRG-I during its fermentation in the gut.
