Meaning of "raffinose" in English

Raffinose is a type of oligosaccharide, a carbohydrate composed of three monosaccharide units: galactose, glucose, and fructose. It is commonly found in beans, whole grains, vegetables like cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, and in certain seeds. In terms of function, raffinose is not digestible by humans due to the lack of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase, which breaks it down. Consequently, it reaches the large intestine intact, where it is fermented by bacteria, producing gases as a byproduct. Raffinose serves as an important dietary fiber and contributes to gut health.

Meaning of "raffinose" in French

Raffinose est un type d'oligosaccharide, un glucide composé de trois unités monosaccharidiques : galactose, glucose et fructose. On le retrouve couramment dans les haricots, les grains entiers, les légumes comme le chou, les choux de Bruxelles, le brocoli, et dans certaines graines. Fonctionnellement, la raffinose n'est pas digérée par les humains en raison de l'absence de l'enzyme alpha-galactosidase qui la décompose. Par conséquent, elle atteint le gros intestin intacte où elle est fermentée par des bactéries, produisant des gaz comme sous-produit. La raffinose sert de fibre alimentaire importante et contribue à la santé intestinale.
