Abstract Three microwave-synthesized non-digestible oligosaccharides (polydextrose, polygalactose and polymannose) were fermented using an in vitro pH-controlled batch incubation inoculated with human fecal slurries, simulating the events in the distal colon. Microbial changes and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and gas chromatography, respectively. Polydextrose and polygalactose significantly (P
