摘要: Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are claimed to have a positive effect on the intestinal flora. They being used in functional foods Japan and Europe. This group tested degradation of two commercial FOS preparations by oral streptococci order predict cariogenicity these products. Both could be fermented some extent species tested. The enzymes necessary for were inducible. Each strain showed specific pattern. All strains, particularly Streptococcus mutans rapidly produced acid, mainly lactic acid. mitis also high concentrations acetic Plaque formation Strep. was similar sucrose control. It is concluded that cariogenic as sucrose.
