Beyond “you are what you eat”: Unlocking gut microbiota‐mediated biotransformation of dietary phytochemicals

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
The “efficacy paradox” of phytochemicals, low bioavailability yet significant health benefits, is associated with gut microbiota, which biotransforms dietary precursors into bioactive metabolites, enabling systemic effects. Thus, health outcomes of diet depend not just on intake “the rainbow”, but on gut microbial metabolism, redefining “you are what ...

Ellagitannins with Glucopyranose Cores Have Higher Affinities to Proteins than Acyclic Ellagitannins by Isothermal Titration Calorimetry [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2019
The thermodynamics of the interactions of different ellagitannins with two proteins, namely, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and gelatin, were studied by isothermal titration calorimetry. Twelve individual ellagitannins, including different monomers, dimers, and a trimer, were used.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...
