Impact of seaweed polyphenols on gut health: Gut microbiome modulation

本项目旨在了解海藻多酚对肠道微生物群的真正影响，并开发提高其在肠道中的生物利用度、生物可及性和生物活性的方法。该项目使用尖端的分析工具有助于研究酚类化合物在肠道中的运动和吸收。本项目希望利用创新的跨学科方法探索海洋功能性食品领域的新知识及其对健康的益处。该项目的成功将最终为功能性食品的开发提供一条新的途径，这将有助于通过食用健康食品成分来改善澳大利亚人的健康状况。

This project aims to understand the true impact of seaweed polyphenols on the gut microbiome and develop methods to improve their bioavailability, bioaccessibility and bioactivities in the gut. The project's use of cutting-edge analytical tools helps to investigate the movement and absorption of phenolic compounds across the gut. This project expects to explore new knowledge in the area of marine-based functional foods and their health benefits using an innovative interdisciplinary approach. The success of this project will ultimately provide a new pathway for the development of functional foods that will help to improve the health status of Australians by consuming healthy food ingredients.
