Abstract
Interactions between dietary fiber and phenolic compounds in foods can influence their gastrointestinal fate. This study aimed to examine the effect of four types of pectin on the polyphenols of cherry laurel puree and human gut microbiota during a simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion and large intestine fermentation. Results revealed that the combined addition of different pectins and pectinase to cherry laurel puree significantly affected the content and bioaccessibility of phenolics. The addition of pectins and pectinase distinctively impacted the phenolic subclasses in both raw and post-digested/fermented cherry laurel puree, suggesting differential interactions due to structural features. Both pectins and pectinase modulated the composition of fecal microbiota after in vitro fermentation, increasing bacterial diversity following pectinase treatment. The combined addition of pectins followed by pectinase had differential impacts on polyphenol bioaccessibility and gut microbiome diversity, hence having a potential outcome in terms of human health.
