- Example 1 In vitro evaluation of dietary fibres for Inulin and XOS
- Inulin is a well established prebiotic with high degree of polymerisation. It can be derived from a number of sources, such as chicory, agave, globe artichoke, Jerusalem artichoke or mango.
- Inulin comprises p 1-2 glucose-fructose linkages. It is bifidogenic, highly soluble and advantageous during heat processing, as it reverts to oligofructose rather than monosaccharides. Inulin shows high persistence along the human large intestine, promoting the stimulation of bifidobacteria in the distal colon and improves mineral bioavailability of calcium and magnesium.
- Inulin has been shown to contribute to a normal digestive function and may help to maintain healthy blood cholesterol level, maintain healthy postprandial glucose level and to maintain healthy bowel function.
- XOS is an emerging prebiotic with low degree of polymerisation, generally derived from corn cob, sugarcane bagasse, wheat straw, rice straw, rice husk derived.
- XOS comprises p 1-4 xylose linkage molecules and has been shown to be bifidogenic, have a low DP and active in the proximal colon. It is high soluble and improves mineral bioavailability for calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron.
- XOS has a number of advantages when compared to other prebiotics. It is efficient at aiding the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and only requires a low dose to increase Bifidobacterium. XOS is selective for the proliferation of: B. adolescentis, B. longum, L. salivarius. XOS is heat and acid stable, has a low moisture activity, a low viscosity and results in low gas production.
- Mg is an essential mineral suitable for supplement and food applications and serves as a cofactor for over 300 enzymes involved in biosynthetic processes. It is part of the Mg-ATP complex, is essential for oxidative phosphorylation and has roles in energy metabolism, mineral homeostasis, calcium metabolism, and neuromuscular and endocrine function. In the human body, 50 to 60% of Mg is located in the bone. Part of it is readily exchangeable with serum and therefore bone represents a Mg store. The remaining Mg is mainly intracellular; extracellular magnesium represents only 1% of the total Mg content of the body.
- Mg contributes to: a) a reduction of tiredness & fatigue; b) electrolyte balance; c) normal energy-yielding metabolism; d) normal functioning of the nervous system; e) normal muscle function; f) normal protein synthesis; g) normal psychological function; h) the maintenance of normal bones; i) the maintenance of normal teeth; and j) has a role in the process of cell division.
- Animal model studies have suggested that Mg itself can promote gut barrier integrity and upregulate the concentration of health positive gut microbes such as Lactobacillus Xia, Y., et. al., (2022) Front Immunol. 13: 874878).
- Non pH-controlled, anaerobic, faecal cultures were investigated to evaluate the rate of gas production and cumulative gas production over 24h in the presence of each test substrate. pH-controlled, anaerobic, faecal cultures were carried out to evaluate the impact of each test carbohydrate on gut microbiome composition and activity (organic acid production).
- the test carbohydrates were as follows: Inulin, Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), Xylooligosaccharides (XOS), gentiooligosaccharides (GeOS) and cellobiose.
- Lactate accumulation profiles suggest that XOS is rapidly utilised by lactate producing bacteria such as bifidobacteria, whereas inulin is utilised at significantly slower rates.
- Feeding bifidobacteria throughout the colon can have a number of beneficial effects, such as reducing pathogenic Clostridia in the proximal colon and increasing stool frequency.
- the composition of the present invention could be utilised to maintain Bifidobacterium concentrations and increase bioavailability of Mg in individuals who are undergoing athletic training and who are on a high protein diet.
- the composition could be incorporated into a protein bar or milkshake so as to help counterbalance the reduction in Bifidobacterium concentrations due to the high protein diet and increase the bioavailability of Mg.
- the addition of Mg could further enhance the health benefits for the individual and would be readily available for absorption.
- the composition of the present invention could be utilised to maintain Bifidobacterium concentrations and reduce proteolysis in those aging individuals.
- the composition of the present invention could be utilised to promote saccharolytic fermentation throughout the colon and to reduce proteolysis.
- Proteolysis produces cellular toxins, carcinogenic and precarcinogenic compounds (ammonia, amines, indoles, phenols and hydrogen sulphide), which further damage the gut barrier.
- the composition of the present invention could be employed to reduce the formation of proteolysis metabolites and enhance their clearance from the body by supporting a regular bowel habit.
- the promotion of saccharolytic fermentation is applicable to athletes because of high protein intake and insufficient fibre in their diet.
- saccharolytic fermentation is also applicable to aging individuals as studies report that in comparison to young adults, the faecal microbiota of non-institutionalised elderly showed an increase in proteolytic potential, but decreased saccharolytic potential with a low abundance of genes encoding steps in shortchain fatty acids production pathways.
- Enhancing Bifidobacterium and saccharolytic fermentation promotes the SCFA formation, thereby lowering the pH of intestinal luminal contents. Greater acidity in the colon is thought to prevent minerals like calcium and magnesium from forming insoluble complexes in the gut. The release of magnesium from these molecules increases the mineral’s bioavialability

- agglomerated Formulations I to J were found to be less sweet, had less metallic aftertaste and less sweet aftertaste compared to the respective non agglomerated blends of Formulations K to M.
- magnesium chloride is more granular than the high solubility inulin or the XOS. In light of this, the magnesium chloride would more easily separate out over longer periods of time or due to vibrational impact during transit. The agglomerated formulation would therefore remain more stable providing for a more robust product which would have a longer shelf-life.

Description
COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOF
Field
The present invention relates to agglomerated compositions and formulations for use in improving gastrointestinal microbiota composition and activity, and maintaining and improving gut barrier integrity, so as to support the health and wellbeing of an individual. The present invention is particularly useful for older individuals and those individuals involved in amateur and professional sports.
Background
Gastrointestinal microbiota has been shown to confer several health benefit and there is a growing body of evidence linking metabolic diseases with the gut microbiota.
Certain functional fibres are resistant to digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract, and therefore reach the colon and then undergo at least partial fermentation in the large intestine. If these functional fibres selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial gut microbiota, they are defined as prebiotics. It has been suggested that combining functional fibres may be useful in increasing the diversity of microbiota in the gut. For example, Lecerf, Jean-Michel, et al (2012) British Journal of Nutrition, 108, 1847-1858 describes that XOS in combination with inulin modulated both the intestinal environment and immune status in healthy subjects. EP2467145 discloses the effect of inulin and partially hydrolysed arabinoxylan (AXOS) on inflammation.
To achieve the desired prebiotic effect from inulin, it necessary to consume it in high quantities. However, consuming high quantities of inulin can create physiological issues, such as abdominal pain, and unwanted gas production. It is also difficult to formulate inulin in high doses as it cannot be incorporated into an easily administered capsule or tablet.
Formulating compositions having a number of different components can often pose a number of challenges in terms of product uniformity, solubility, dispersion, storage and ease of downstream processing. This can severely impact taste, texture, shelf life and quality control of finished products.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition which can be used for maintaining and/or improving gastrointestinal microbiota. It is desirable that such a composition has a consistent product presentation, improved flavour and mouthfeel. It
would be preferred if the resultant composition has high uniformity and dispersion of the components when consumed. It would also be desirable if the formulation was stable and had a long shelf life. Furthermore, it would be beneficial if the formulation were easy to transport and easy to formulate into a range of diverse products. It would be preferable that the composition could be easily formulated as either a medicament or a food supplement or formulated with a food supplement (such as a high protein milkshake or bar).

The improved gastrointestinal microbiota resulting from the composition of the present invention may also promote improve bowel function.
Advantageously, faecal fermentation experiments conducted by the present inventors show that both XOS and inulin have a significant impact in enhancing faecal Bifidobacterium numbers. The XOS component is rapidly fermented and can enhance Bifidobacterium levels in the proximal-transverse colon, whereas the slowly fermented inulin can support their populations from transverse to the distal colon. The addition of Mg further enhances the health benefits to the individual and the combination of XOS and inulin allow for better bioavailability of Mg. The composition leads to improved bowel function which in turn decreases the presence and concentration of toxic metabolites.
Furthermore, studies have shown that the combination of XOS with inulin has a similar effect as a high dose of inulin. This not only greatly reduces the side effects of consuming inulin in high doses (such as abdominal pain and gas production), but also allows inulin to be incorporated in a wider range of consumable formats (such as capsules or tablets). The present invention therefore provides for a means of reducing the dose of inulin, whilst maintaining similar positive effects of a high dose of inulin.
The individual may be a sports person or an individual undergoing athletic training. The sports person or an individual undergoing athletic training may be undergoing a high protein diet regime.
The term “sports person” or “individual undergoing athletic training” is intended to mean any person who is exerting physical activity with a view to amateur or professional competition, including, but not limited to, those individuals wishing to build muscle mass.
The term “high protein diet regime” is intended to mean an eating regime which incorporates a protein intake exceeding the recommended dietary intake. Such a protein intake will be determined by the sex and mass of the individual. The Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) is generally defined as 0.8 grams of protein per kg of body weight. Generally speaking, the high protein diet regime will comprise the consumption of at least about 1 g of protein per day per kg of body weight. Preferably, the high diet regime will comprise the consumption of at least about 1.4 g of protein per day per kg of body weight. Most preferably, the high diet regime comprises the consumption of about 1.4 g to about 2 g of protein per day per kg of body weight.
Advantageously, the present inventions have found that a composition comprising inulin and XOS increases Bifidobacterium concentration. Bifidobacterium concentrations decline, and Mg levels are lower, in individuals who are undergoing athletic training and who are typically on a high protein diet. The composition of the present invention, can be utilised to maintain Bifidobacterium concentrations, and increase the bioavailability of Mg in those individuals who are undergoing athletic training and who are on a high protein diet. Furthermore, the composition could be incorporated into a protein bar or milkshake so as to help counterbalance the reduction in Bifidobacterium concentrations due to the high protein diet.
Alternatively, the individual may be an aging individual.
The term “aging individual” is intended to mean an individual who is of an age of at least 45 years of age or of at least 60 years of age. Whilst the benefits of consuming the composition will be more appropriate for individuals who are at least 60 years of age, the human body starts to undergo the aging process from 45 years of age onwards so it would be beneficial to consume the composition from 45 years of age. When an individual is at least 60 years of age, they will be subjected to more rapid muscle loss and sarcopenia.
As it is known that there is a significant decline in Bifidobacterium concentrations, and lower Mg levels, in aging individuals, the composition of the present invention, could advantageously be utilised to maintain Bifidobacterium concentrations, and increase the bioavailability of Mg, in those individuals. The composition of the present invention may be utilised to maintain Bifidobacterium concentrations and reduce proteolysis in those aging individuals.
The composition of the present invention, can be utilised to promote saccharolytic fermentation throughout the colon and to reduce proteolysis. Proteolysis produces cellular toxins, carcinogenic and precarcinogenic compounds (ammonia, amines, indoles, phenols and hydrogen sulphide), which further damage the gut barrier. The composition of the present invention can reduce the formation of proteolysis metabolites and enhance their clearance from the body by supporting a regular bowel habit. The promotion of saccharolytic fermentation is applicable to athletes because of high protein intake and insufficient fibre in their diet. The promotion of saccharolytic fermentation is also applicable to aging individuals as studies report that in comparison to young adults, the faecal microbiota of non-institutionalised elderly showed an increase in proteolytic potential, but
decreased saccharolytic potential with a low abundance of genes encoding steps in shortchain fatty acids production pathways.

Examples
Example 1 - In vitro evaluation of dietary fibres for Inulin and XOS
The impact on faecal microbiome composition and activity of Inulin and XOS was evaluated in vitro.
Inulin
Inulin is a well established prebiotic with high degree of polymerisation. It can be derived from a number of sources, such as chicory, agave, globe artichoke, Jerusalem artichoke or mango.
Inulin comprises p 1-2 glucose-fructose linkages. It is bifidogenic, highly soluble and advantageous during heat processing, as it reverts to oligofructose rather than monosaccharides. Inulin shows high persistence along the human large intestine, promoting the stimulation of bifidobacteria in the distal colon and improves mineral bioavailability of calcium and magnesium.
Inulin has been shown to contribute to a normal digestive function and may help to maintain healthy blood cholesterol level, maintain healthy postprandial glucose level and to maintain healthy bowel function.
XOS
XOS is an emerging prebiotic with low degree of polymerisation, generally derived from corn cob, sugarcane bagasse, wheat straw, rice straw, rice husk derived.
XOS comprises p 1-4 xylose linkage molecules and has been shown to be bifidogenic, have a low DP and active in the proximal colon. It is high soluble and improves mineral bioavailability for calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron.
XOS has a number of advantages when compared to other prebiotics. It is efficient at aiding the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and only requires a low dose to increase Bifidobacterium. XOS is selective for the proliferation of: B. adolescentis, B. longum, L. salivarius. XOS is heat and acid stable, has a low moisture activity, a low viscosity and results in low gas production.
Mfl
Mg is an essential mineral suitable for supplement and food applications and serves as a cofactor for over 300 enzymes involved in biosynthetic processes. It is part of the Mg-ATP complex, is essential for oxidative phosphorylation and has roles in energy metabolism, mineral homeostasis, calcium metabolism, and neuromuscular and endocrine function.
In the human body, 50 to 60% of Mg is located in the bone. Part of it is readily exchangeable with serum and therefore bone represents a Mg store. The remaining Mg is mainly intracellular; extracellular magnesium represents only 1% of the total Mg content of the body.
Mg contributes to: a) a reduction of tiredness & fatigue; b) electrolyte balance; c) normal energy-yielding metabolism; d) normal functioning of the nervous system; e) normal muscle function; f) normal protein synthesis; g) normal psychological function; h) the maintenance of normal bones; i) the maintenance of normal teeth; and j) has a role in the process of cell division. Animal model studies have suggested that Mg itself can promote gut barrier integrity and upregulate the concentration of health positive gut microbes such as Lactobacillus Xia, Y., et. al., (2022) Front Immunol. 13: 874878).
Evaluation of dietary fibres
The impact on faecal microbiome composition and activity of Inulin and XOS, together with a selection of structurally diverse bifidogenic dietary fibres and prebiotics was evaluated in a series of in vitro faecal culture experiments.
Non pH-controlled, anaerobic, faecal cultures were investigated to evaluate the rate of gas production and cumulative gas production over 24h in the presence of each test substrate. pH-controlled, anaerobic, faecal cultures were carried out to evaluate the impact of each test carbohydrate on gut microbiome composition and activity (organic acid production). The test carbohydrates were as follows: Inulin, Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), Xylooligosaccharides (XOS), gentiooligosaccharides (GeOS) and cellobiose.
All carbohydrates were tested in parallel, using the same faecal sample from a healthy donor. Fermentations were repeated using the faecal samples of each of 6 donors. Faeces in the absence of test substrate were used as the negative control in each run.
With reference to Figure 1 , the experiments concluded that the non pH-controlled cultures showed that XOS fermentations produced the lowest rate and cumulative gas production. For inulin, the rate of gas production showed a more prolonged gas evolution pattern suggesting slower fermentation. The rate of gas production for cellobiose was significantly higher compared to all test substrates.
With reference to Figure 2, the experiments concluded that for the pH-controlled cultures, significant increases were observed in Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus with all test substrates compared to the negative control (faeces).
Inulin supported further growth in Bifidobacterium & Lactobacillus between 10 and 24h suggesting prolonged fermentation activity. Inulin supported significant increases in Faecalibacterium prausnitzii numbers at 24h, whilst no significant effect was observed in the pathogenic group of Clostridium histolyticum.
With reference to Figure 3, the experiments concluded that for pH-controlled cultures, high levels of lactate were produced with XOS, Cellobiose, GeOS and FOS, and this reflects the high fermentation rates leading to lactate accumulation. Lactate accumulation was significantly lower in inulin cultures suggesting it is slowly fermented. Acetate was the main SCFA produced by all test substrates. Inulin produced significantly higher levels of propionate compared to all test substrates.
Conclusions
In vitro faecal fermentation experiments suggest both XOS and Inulin have a significant impact in enhancing faecal Bifidobacterium numbers.
Lactate accumulation profiles suggest that XOS is rapidly utilised by lactate producing bacteria such as bifidobacteria, whereas inulin is utilised at significantly slower rates.
The results of the experiments suggest that inulin and XOS are good candidates to combine so as to support Bifidobacterium enrichment in the human colon, as XOS is rapidly fermented and can enhance Bifidobacterium levels in the proximal-transverse colon and the slowly fermented inulin can support their populations from transverse to the distal colon.
Feeding bifidobacteria throughout the colon can have a number of beneficial effects, such as reducing pathogenic Clostridia in the proximal colon and increasing stool frequency.
It is known that there is a significant decline in Bifidobacterium concentrations and Mg levels in aging individuals. This can be due to a number of factors, such as physiological changes (e.g. loss of taste and smell), dietary choices and malnutrition, use of antibiotics and other prescription drugs and changes to physical activity and hormone levels. Therefore the composition of the present invention, could be utilised to maintain Bifidobacterium concentrations in aging individuals and increase the bioavailability of Mg. The addition of
Mg could further enhance the health benefits for the individual and would be readily available for absorption.
It is also believed that Bifidobacterium concentrations decline in individuals who are undergoing athletic training (whether amateur or professional) and who are typically on a high protein diet. The composition of the present invention, could be utilised to maintain Bifidobacterium concentrations and increase bioavailability of Mg in individuals who are undergoing athletic training and who are on a high protein diet. The composition could be incorporated into a protein bar or milkshake so as to help counterbalance the reduction in Bifidobacterium concentrations due to the high protein diet and increase the bioavailability of Mg. The addition of Mg could further enhance the health benefits for the individual and would be readily available for absorption.
The composition of the present invention could be utilised to maintain Bifidobacterium concentrations and reduce proteolysis in those aging individuals. In particular, the composition of the present invention, could be utilised to promote saccharolytic fermentation throughout the colon and to reduce proteolysis. Proteolysis produces cellular toxins, carcinogenic and precarcinogenic compounds (ammonia, amines, indoles, phenols and hydrogen sulphide), which further damage the gut barrier. The composition of the present invention could be employed to reduce the formation of proteolysis metabolites and enhance their clearance from the body by supporting a regular bowel habit. The promotion of saccharolytic fermentation is applicable to athletes because of high protein intake and insufficient fibre in their diet. The promotion of saccharolytic fermentation is also applicable to aging individuals as studies report that in comparison to young adults, the faecal microbiota of non-institutionalised elderly showed an increase in proteolytic potential, but decreased saccharolytic potential with a low abundance of genes encoding steps in shortchain fatty acids production pathways.
Enhancing Bifidobacterium and saccharolytic fermentation promotes the SCFA formation, thereby lowering the pH of intestinal luminal contents. Greater acidity in the colon is thought to prevent minerals like calcium and magnesium from forming insoluble complexes in the gut. The release of magnesium from these molecules increases the mineral’s bioavialability

All of the above example formulations are intended to be administered once a day with water so as to provide a daily dose of each of the components. However, if desired, the formulations could be adapted so as to form multiple doses which collectively form the same daily dose of the components and the skilled addressee will appreciate that above formulations will simply be divided by the number of preferred daily doses.
Individual doses were prepared as in an agglomerated or blended forms:

. 2.2g HSI inulin = 53.7%
. 1.4g XOS = 34.1 %
. 0.5g MgCI2 = 12.2%
Analysis concluded that this agglomerated formulation had a BD of 0.70 and a moisture content of 2.26%.
Formulation K: Blended Inulin and XOS and Mg (high inulin dose) (8.3g)
• 6.4g HSI inulin = 77%
. 1.4g XOS = 16.9%
. 0.5g MgCI2 = 6.0%
Formulation L: Blended Inulin and XOS and Mg (medium inulin dose) (5. 1g)
• 3.2g HSI inulin = 62.7%
. 1 ,4g XOS = 27.5%
. 0.5g MgCI2 = 9.8%
Formulation M: Blended Inulin and XOS and Mg (low inulin dose) (4. 1g)
2.2g HSI inulin = 53.7%
1.4g XOS = 34.1 %
0.5g MgCI2 = 12.2%
Formulations H - M were dissolved in 250 ml of water at room temperature and pressure and included in a taste study.
In the study, 60% of participants preferred the medium inulin dose of Formulations I and L and reported: no bitterness; less lingering sweet aftertaste; less metallic aftertaste; and a balanced flavour profile. When comparing Formulations I and L, it was found that Formulation I was less sweet, and had a less sweet aftertaste and more neutral flavour profile when compared to Formulation L.
Overall, agglomerated Formulations I to J were found to be less sweet, had less metallic aftertaste and less sweet aftertaste compared to the respective non agglomerated blends of Formulations K to M. Across all Formulations H to M, sweetness was found to be: medium inulin< low inulin < high inulin, whereas lingering sweet aftertaste was found to be: low inulin = medium inulin< high inulin.
Whilst agglomerated Formulations H to J and blended Formulations K to M were soluble at all test doses, there was a distinct improvement in the time required to fully dissolve each sample with the agglomerated Formulations H to J when compared to its respective blended Formulations K to M. It was also noted that the high inulin doses (of both blended and agglomerated Formulations K and H) required significantly longer time to fully dissolved compared to the low and medium inulin doses.
In the blended formulation, magnesium chloride is more granular than the high solubility inulin or the XOS. In light of this, the magnesium chloride would more easily separate out over longer periods of time or due to vibrational impact during transit. The agglomerated formulation would therefore remain more stable providing for a more robust product which would have a longer shelf-life.
