Physiological function of dietary fiber from lily residue

Lily dregs dietary fiber cannot be directly digested and absorbed by digestive enzymes in the human small intestine, but can only be partially digested and utilized by some bacteria in the intestinal tract. It is a non-starch polysaccharide compound and a component of lignin. It has many functions such as preventing constipation, helping to lose weight, lowering cholesterol, lowering blood sugar and improving diabetes.

1.Laxative

Dietary fiber can also be degraded by microorganisms in the digestive tract, which stimulates the growth and proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract, and creates a necessary metabolic substrate and a good living environment for the growth and development of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract, thereby improving body resistance and protection. Healthy liver function [5]. In addition, when dietary fiber is rapidly fermented and decomposed by cells in the intestinal tract, organic gases and most short-chain oils are formed. This acidic product will increase the acidity and stool volume, thereby promoting the excretion of stool in the intestinal tract, so it has the effect of preventing constipation.

2. Promote digestion and absorption

Studies on the effects of lily dietary fiber on digestion and absorption have shown that the increase in feeding rate, body weight, and small intestinal propulsion rate of mice are directly related to moderate and high concentrations of lily dietary fiber; low-concentration musk lily residue dietary fiber can significantly Increasing the intake of the mice, the food utilization coefficient of the mice also increased with the increase of the gavage content; the high concentration of musk lily dietary fiber is also more effective.

3.Lower blood sugar

The experiments of Li Zhonghai, Zhong Haiyan and others also showed that the hypoglycemic effect of lily dietary fiber is very rapid, because it promotes the production of insulin by a large number of residual beta bacteria. Lily dietary fiber can also control the increase of blood sugar level in mice caused by exogenous glucose, so that the glycogen decomposition function promoted by drug dosage can be effectively controlled, thereby facilitating the synthesis of glycogen, and reducing the effect of alloxan on pancreatic islets. destruction of cells. The glucose tolerance test also showed that lily dietary fiber can also control the increase in postprandial blood sugar; and help repair damaged pancreatic structure and function.

4. Antioxidant

Dietary fiber acts as an antioxidant, which can effectively remove OH and other free radicals in the body from the body, and they inhibit the peroxidation of fat for anti-aging effects. Soluble dietary fiber consumes a lot of free radicals.
