09 Oct 2019 --- A new DuPont study has uncovered some of the prebiotic mechanisms behind its product Care4U 2’-Fucosyllactose (2’-FL). The study found that it beneficially changes microbiota composition and the production of microbial metabolites compared to galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and lactose. The effects elicited to microbiota and metabolite composition by 2’-FL were between the responses evoked by GOS and lactose, which indicates that 2’-FL is selectively fermented by the infant microbes.
