Construction of a model of the human proximal colon
2008-12-01
Abstract excerpt
The objective of the present study was to construct a system that re-creates the conditions of fermentation and absorption of the human proximal colon. The model was constructed using a glass tube with an internal dialysis membrane tube. The food substrate was fed into the dialysis membrane three times a day simulating a typical human feeding. The substrate contained 58% carbohydrates, 35% proteins, 3% fiber, 3% s...
