A new study stands out the benefits of the orange shell

September 16 2003

The shells of the oranges are an abundant source of carbohydrates that you/they have beneficial many properties for the health, according to a study carried out by a group of investigators of the Service of Agricultural Investigation of USA (ARS, in their English initials).

The investigators, directed by chemical Arland T. Hotchkiss, of Pennsylvania, they have demonstrated that the pectin, a type of present carbohydrate in the shell of the orange, has properties "prebióticas." These carbohydrates prebióticos, also well-known as oligosacáridos, they are in certain fruits and vegetables. The use of these substances has begun to be generalized in nutritious products and in foods for animals.
On the other hand, the pectin is used as a gelatinización agent in jellies and to stabilize milky products. Hotchkiss that works in the Unit of Investigation of the Science and Engineering of Conversion of Crops, and other investigators, has discovered this type of prebióticos "anti-adhesives" that you/they prevent the patógenos of being hooked to the intestine.

Now, the investigator of ARS Brian Kerr, he/she is working in investigations to determine if this new generation of prebióticos has desirable benefits of health in systems of pig production. The experts are developing new and economic methods to extract the pectin prebióticos. The experts assure that this investigation could have benefits for the farmers and processors of citric fruits adding value to the by-products of the prosecution of the fruits, as ARS informs.
