Kojibiose 

Kojibiose, an orally active prebiotic disaccharide, can specifically inhibit the activity of α-glucosidase I. kojibiose is a proliferation factor for Bifidobacterium, lactic acid bacteria, and eubacteria. kojibiose is a low-calorie sweetener capable of increasing the absorption of iron. Kojibiose exhibits antitoxic activity. Kojibiose reduces hepatic expression of inflammatory markers in vivo^[1][2].

Kojibiose (0.5 %; w/w daily consumption of diet; for 20 d) significantly improves the severity of arachidic acid (ARa; 0.3 mg daily for 20 d)-induced hepatic alterations^[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
