Fruits and their impact on the gut microbiota, gut motility and constipation
2021 Jan Food & Function Katsirma Z, Dimidi E, Rodriguez-Mateos A, Whelan K
Prunes, raisins and apple fiber isolate have been shown to increase fecal weight in humans, whilst kiwifruit to increase small bowel and fecal water content. Apple fiber isolate, kiwifruit, fig paste, and orange extract have been shown to reduce gut transit time, while prunes have not. There is limited evidence on which fruit components play a predominant role in regulating gut motility and constipation, or whether a synergy of multiple components is responsible for such effects.
