Abstract

This study investigated the potential health effects of consuming bread enriched with agave fructans, β-cyclodextrins, and probiotics on the health of growing mice. ICR mice (35 males and 35 females) in the growth stage were used. Five diets were administered: 1) Standard (S), 2) Bread with agave fructans (FB), 3) Bread with β-cyclodextrins (CBD), 4) Bread with agave fructans + β-cyclodextrins (FB-CD), and 5) Bread with agave fructans + β-cyclodextrins + probiotics (FB-CD-P). The results showed that the FB-CD-P diet showed a decrease in dietary intake in mice. FB-containing diets showed higher fecal excretion than diet S. Blood glucose levels of female mice fed FB, CBD, FB-CD, and FB-CD-P diets exhibited a hypoglycemic effect. Histological results showed that the FB-CD-P diet presented larger mucin vesicles than the other diets. The results suggest that bread enriched with the FB-CD-P diet can provide health benefits.
