Water-soluble cellulose acetate has the potential for dietary application in human and other monogastric animals, based on the enhanced production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), in particular acetate, in the hindgut. Short-chain fatty acid production is caused by selective proliferation of specific gut bacteria belonging to the genus Bacteroides. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
