The gut microbiome has an enormous impact on the life of the host, and the diet plays a fundamental role in shaping microbiome composition and function. The way food is processed is a key factor determining the amount and type of material reaching the gut bacteria and influencing their growth and the production of microbiota metabolites. In this perspective, the current possibilities to address food design toward a better feeding of gut microbiota are highlighted, together with a summary of the most interesting microbial metabolites that can be made from dietary precursors.
肠道微生物群对宿主的生命有着巨大影响，而饮食在塑造微生物群的组成和功能方面起着根本性作用。食物的加工方式是决定到达肠道细菌的物质数量和类型以及影响其生长和微生物群代谢物产生的关键因素。从这个角度来看，本文强调了当前在通过食物设计来更好地滋养肠道微生物群方面的可能性，同时总结了可以由膳食前体产生的最有趣的微生物代谢物。
