Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are a sub-group of saturated aliphatic fatty acids contain 2-5 carbon (C) atoms while acetate (C2) propionate (C3) and butyrate (C4) are the most abundant. They are the end products of fermentation of the dietary fibers by beneficial large intestinal bacteria. Humans don’t have the enzymes to degrade the bulk of dietary fibers. As a result these nondigestible dietary fibers pass through the upper gastrointestinal tract without being digested and then enter the cecum and the large intestine and are fermented by the anaerobic cecal and colonic microbiota. The fermentation of dietary fibers produces a large... read more

To the microbial community SCFAs are end products of no use however they are required to maintain the balance of redox equivalent production of the gut in the anaerobic environment. In the colon and stool the molar ratio of acetate propionate and butyrate is about 60:20:20. The total concentration of SCFAs in the proximal colon ranges from 70mM to 140 mM depending on the diet. In the distal colon the concentration is lower about 20mM to 70 mM. 95% of the produced SCFAs in the cecum and large intestine are rapidly absorbed by the colonocytes with the remaining 5% being... read more
