Functional implications of bound phenolic compounds and phenolics-food interaction: A review

Gabriele Rocchetti et al.

Summary: Scientific evidence suggests the health benefits of phenolic compounds and dietary fiber, and these two components may interact with each other. Food processing can affect these interactions. Fiber-bound phenolic compounds undergo transformation in the large intestine and can impact gut microbiota. However, there is limited information on the effects of fiber-bound phenolics on gut microbiota, and further research is needed in this area.

Advances in oral absorption of polysaccharides: Mechanism, affecting factors, and improvement strategies

Ziming Zheng et al.

Summary: Polysaccharides have been widely used as biomaterials and drugs after oral administration due to their suitable physicochemical properties, good bioactivities and low toxicities. However, studies on their pharmacokinetics and absorption mechanism after oral administration are significantly restricted by the lack of polysaccharide detection methods. With the advancement of polysaccharide detection technologies such as immunoassays, fluorescent and isotopic labelling, the oral pharmacokinetics of polysaccharides have gradually been revealed.
