abstract = {A polysaccharide is a macromolecule composed of more than ten monosaccharides with a
wide distribution and high structural diversity and complexity in nature. Certain polysaccharides are
immunomodulators and play key roles in the regulation of immune responses during the progression
of some diseases. In addition to stimulating the growth of certain intestinal bacteria, polysaccharides
may also promote health benefits by modulating the gut microbiota. In the last years, studies about
the triad gut microbiota–polysaccharides–health have increased exponentially. In consequence, in the
present review, we aim to summarize recent knowledge about the function of dietary polysaccharides
on gut microbiota composition and how these effects affect host health.},
