Research Progress of Physiological Activities of Xylooligosaccharide

Abstract:

Xylooligosaccharide belongs to functional oligosaccharide，which has been widely used in food，medicine，and feedstuff for its physicochemical property. Furthermore，it has attracted the worldwide concerned for its healthy function. Some physiological functions of xylooligosaccharide have reported，including hypoglycemic activity，antihyperlipidemic effect，and ameliorating alvine path bacterium group. These healthy functions and their mechanisms were summarized in this paper. And we also made suggestions for the further study，which was helpful to its development and utilization.
