Dietary polyphenols are garnering attention in the scientific community due to their potential health-beneficial properties and preventative effects against chronic diseases, viz. cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, and neurodegenerative diseases. Polyphenols are antioxidants that change microbial composition by suppressing pathogenic bacteria and stimulating beneficial bacteria. The interaction of polyphenols with dietary fibers affects their bioaccessibility in the upper and lower parts of the digestive tract. Dietary fibers, polyphenols, their conjugates, and their metabolites modulate microbiome population and diversity. Consuming polyphenol-rich dietary fibers such as pomegranate, cranberry, berries, and tea improves gut health. A complex relationship exists between polyphenol-rich diets and gut microbiota for functioning in human health. In this review, we provide an overview of the interactions of dietary polyphenols, fibers, and gut microbiota, improving the understanding of the functional properties of dietary polyphenols.
由于膳食多酚具有潜在的有益健康特性以及对慢性疾病(即心血管疾病、糖尿病、肥胖症和神经退行性疾病)的预防作用,它们在科学界正受到越来越多的关注。多酚是抗氧化剂,可通过抑制病原菌和刺激有益菌来改变微生物组成。多酚与膳食纤维的相互作用会影响它们在消化道上部和下部的生物可及性。膳食纤维、多酚、它们的结合物及其代谢产物会调节微生物群落的数量和多样性。食用富含多酚的膳食纤维,如石榴、蔓越莓、浆果和茶,可改善肠道健康。富含多酚的饮食与肠道微生物群之间存在复杂的关系,对人体健康发挥作用。在这篇综述中,我们概述了膳食多酚、纤维和肠道微生物群之间的相互作用,以增进对膳食多酚功能特性的理解。
