Chitosan salts are being investigated as materials for bacterially triggered colonic drug delivery, via the oral route, based on the assumption that they will be degraded by the enzymes produced by the human colonic bacteria. The actual susceptibility of chitosan to these enzymes is, however, unclea
The major actions of undigested carbohydrates, such as non-starch polysaccharides and resistant starch, on the physiology of man are related to colonic fermentation. It is very difficult to study fermentation in vivo. In vitro models are often used but these models differ in almost every aspect even
