In this study, stachyose was used as an intervention factor. We will evaluate changes in fecal gut microbiota and miRNA expression profiles in subjects under stachyose intervention
In the stachyose intervention group, each person in the stachyose intervention group took 5 g of stachyose daily before breakfast, and the administration method was 100 ml of drinking water dissolved and taken orally for two months. Each person in the placebo control group took the same amount of maltodextrin daily. Stool samples of the subjects were collected weekly.

Stachyose is a tetrasaccharide consisting of sucrose having an alpha-D-galactosyl-(1-\>6)-alpha-D-galactosyl moiety attached at the 6-position of the glucose.
Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide that is used primarily in foods and beverages as a thickener, sweetener, and/or stabilizer. It is a relatively short-chain polymer (some would call it an oligomer); commercial products contain an average of ≈3 to ≈17 glucose units per chain. It is manufactured by partially hydrolyzing grain starches, usually corn or wheat.
