In conclusion, this study suggests that GUM is a prebiotic fibre, as it was able to selectively raise the proportions of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria in healthy subjects. It was fermented slowly, produced shortchain fatty acids, and its faecal digestibility was around 95%. As in the case of other soluble dietary fibres, it increased stool output by augmenting the water content of stools. In addition, its intestinal tolerance appeared to be excellent and high daily doses could be consumed without inducing any adverse intestinal events. Thanks to all these properties, GUM may improve intestinal well-being and health
