Unfermented jujube pulp (UFJP), fermented jujube pulp (FJP) in high and low doses were fed to constipated ICR mice. Defecation function, serum gastrointestinal regulatory peptide, fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and gut microbial composition were assessed. Results showed that high-dose FJP could protect intestinal mucosa tissue, shorten the first black feces defecating time by 17% and increase the number and wet weights of black feces by 72% and 71%, respectively, within 6 h. High-dose FJP significantly down-regulated the somatostatin level and up-regulated gastrin level in constipated mice, compared with low-dose FJP and UFJP. The high-dose FJP intervention regulated the microbiota profile, which afterwards restored microbiota, like Bacteroidetes, Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, to a less unhealthy state. This study provides convincing in vivo evidence that high-dose FJP supplementation through daily diet could be a promising approach to effectively alleviate constipation and modulate gut health.
