Application

2-Ethylbutyric acid is used as the internal standard for determining volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in wastewater from the constructed wetlands. It is used in the determination of both free and fatty acids in milk and milk products by HPLC method with direct derivatisation.

A headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) followed by gas chromatography coupled to flame ionization detector (GC-FID) is developed for the direct determination of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in wastewater from constructed wetlands. Through the investigation on extraction behavior of different coatings

Alterations of gut microbiota are evident during the aging process. Prebiotics may restore the gut microbial balance, with β-glucans emerging as prebiotic candidates. This study aimed to investigate the impact of edible mushrooms rich in β-glucans on the gut microbiota

Indigestible resistant starches (RS) are substrates for gut-microbial metabolism and have been shown to attenuate intestinal inflammation but the supporting evidence is inconsistent and lacks mechanistic explanation. We have recently reported dietary RS type 4 (RS4) induced improvements in immunometabolic

Recent data have highlighted the role of the gut microbiota and its several metabolites in maintaining bone health. Thus, gut microbiota manipulation, e.g., by prebiotics, might offer a plausible target in the fight against bone degenerative diseases. This study aimed
