Abstract

In this study, hulless barley flour (HBF), insoluble dietary fiber-phenolic compounds (IDF-PC) and soluble dietary fiber-phenolic compounds (SDF-PC) were used as experimental materials to analyze the synergetic regulation of gut microbiota by dietary fiber and polyphenol, according to the abundance and diversity of microbes by in vitro colonic fermentation and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing. Ferulic acid (FA) was taken as the control. IDF-PC and SDF-PC were extracted and isolated by enzymatic hydrolytic methods. The total phenolic content was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu assay. Moreover, short-chain fatty acids were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that HBF, IDF-PC and SDF-PC were rich in dietary fibers and phenolic compounds. After in vitro colonic fermentation, these three samples could improve the abundance and diversity of gut microbiota and promote the growth of bacterial groups, including Lactobacillus, Akkermansia, Ruminococcaceae-UCG-005, Ruminococcaceae-NK4A214-group, compared with FA. Fermentation of HBF, IDF-PC and SDF-PC resulted in an increase in SCFAs production and the peak contents in acetic acid, which were (0.29±0.21), (0.15±0.05) and (0.14±0.10) mg/mL, respectively. This study suggests that hulless barley dietary fibers and phenolic compounds have better synergistic regulation on gut microbiota, which can provide scientific basis for hulless barley health promotion and disease prevention.
