The influence of pentose on breath methane

LF McKay, WG Brydon, MA Eastwood and JH Smith

In a population study the concentration of methane in the expired breath of methane-producing subjects was significantly related to the dietary intake of noncellulosic polysaccharide pentose (p less than 0.01) and to the intake of lignin (p less than 0.05). The single dose administration of complex polysaccharide sources rich in pentoses to fasting subjects did not result in an increase in methane production when measured over 5 h. The single dose administration of D(+) xylose and L(+) arabinose led to a significant increase in methane excretion in methane producers.
