Аннотация

The isolation of pectinic polysaccharides from the aerial part of Ferula kuhistanica growing wild in Uzbekistan, Malus sieversii rosemary variety apples cultivated under local conditions (apple pomace after juice production was used), and tangerine peels (Citrus reticulata, tangerine variety) is reported. Their prebiotic activities for several probiotic cultures of Bifidobacterium longum 17x and Propionibacterium avidum 1 in addition to monocultures of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 906 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus 925ak were determined. According to the results, pectinic polysaccharide from F. kuhistanica was most promising in this respect.
