Cuadrat 2 and Annett Braune 1 1 Research Group Intestinal Microbiology, Department of Molecular Toxicology, German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke, Arthur-Scheunert-Allee 114-116, 14558 Nuthetal, Germany; [email protected] 2 Department of Molecular Epidemiology, German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke, Arthur-Scheunert-Allee 114-116, 14558 Nuthetal, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Flavonoids are a major group of dietary plant polyphenols and have a positive health impact, but their modification and degradation in the human gut is still widely unknown. Due to the rise of metagenome data of the human gut microbiome and the assembly of hundreds of thousands of bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), large-scale screening for potential flavonoid-modifying enzymes of human gut bacteria is now feasible. With sequences of characterized flavonoid-transforming enzymes as queries, the Unified Human Gastrointestinal Protein catalog was analyzed and genes encoding putative flavonoid-modifying enzymes were quantified. The results revealed that flavonoid-modifying enzymes are often encoded in gut bacteria hitherto not considered to modify flavonoids. The enzymes for the physiologically important daidzein-to-equol conversion, well studied in Slackia isoflavoniconvertens, were encoded only to a minor extent in Slackia MAGs, but were more abundant in Adlercreutzia equolifaciens and an uncharacterized Eggerthellaceae species. In addition, enzymes with a sequence identity of about 35% were encoded in highly abundant MAGs of uncultivated Collinsella species, which suggests a hitherto uncharacterized daidzein-to-equol potential in these bacteria.

They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.

  • Bioavailability and Metabolic Pathway of Phenolic Compounds Muhammad Bilal Hussain, Sadia Hassan, Marwa Waheed, Ahsan Javed, Muhammad Adil Farooq and Ali Tahir
    Chapter Bioavailability and Metabolic Pathway of Phenolic Compounds Muhammad Bilal Hussain, Sadia Hassan, Marwa Waheed, Ahsan Javed, Muhammad Adil Farooq and Ali Tahir Abstract As potential agents for preventing different oxidative stress-related diseases, phenolic compounds have attracted increasing attention with the passage of time. Intake of fruits, vegetables and cereals in higher quantities is linked with decreased chances of chronic diseases. In plant-based foods, phenolic com- pounds are very abundant. However, bio-accessibility and biotransformation of phenolic compound are not reviewed in these studies; therefore, a detailed action mechanism of phenolic compounds is not recognized. In this article, inclusive concept of different factors affecting the bioavailability of phenolic compounds and their metabolic processes is presented through which phenolic compounds go after ingestion. Keywords: polyphenols, bioavailability, biotransformation, metabolism 1. Introduction In recent past, the awareness of the consumer related to the effect of diet on the health has been improved; therefore, leading to upsurge in the con- sumption of vegetables, cereal based foods and fruits. Numerous studies have suggested the bioactive characteristics of the bioactive moieties, i.e., phenolic compounds. Nonetheless, bioactive claims are made without taking into consid- eration the further modifications to which phenolic compounds are subjected once ingested [1]. Phenolic compounds are the secondary metabolites of plants which consti- tute an important group, i.e., phenylpropanoids. These compounds possess an aromatic ring and various OH groups which are link to it. On the basis of clas- sification, phenolic compounds are prorated into various subgroups. They are grouped as a function of the number of phenolic rings that they contain and the radicals that bind these rings to another one [2, 3].
