A detailed study was performed to compare the in vivo ileal digestibility and modulatory effects in fecal microbiota of novel galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) derived from lactulose [GOS-Lu; degree of polymerization (DP) =2, 14.0% trisaccharides] and commercial GOS derived from lactose (GOS-La; DP =3, 35.1% trisaccharides) in growing rats (5 wk old). Rats were fed either a control diet or diets containing 1% (wt:wt) of GOS-Lu or GOS-La for 14 d. Quantitative analysis of carbohydrates from dietary and ileal samples demonstrated that the trisaccharide fraction of GOS-Lu was significantly more resistant to gut digestion than that from GOS-La, as indicated by their ileal digestibility rates of 12.5 ± 2.6% and 52.9 ± 2.7%, respectively, whereas the disaccharide fraction of GOS-Lu was fully resistant to the extreme environment of the upper digestive tract. The low ileal digestibility of GOS-Lu was due to the great resistance of galactosyl-fructoses to mammalian digestive enzymes, highlighting the key role played by the monomer type and linkage involved in the oligosaccharide chain. The partial digestion of GOS-La trisaccharides showed that glycosidic linkages (1?6) and (1?2) between galactose and glucose monomers were significantly more resistant to in vivo gastrointestinal digestion than the linkage (1?4) between galactose units. The absence of GOS-La and GOS-Lu digestion-resistant oligosaccharides in fecal samples indicated that they were readily fermented within the large intestine, enabling both types of GOS to have a potential prebiotic function. Indeed, compared with controls, the GOS-Lu group had significantly more bifidobacteria in fecal samples after 14 d of treatment. The number of Eubacterium rectale also was greater in the GOS-Lu and GOS-La groups than in controls. These novel data support a direct relationship between patterns of resistance to digestion and prebiotic properties of GOS.
