Abstract

The Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) is a widely recognized dietary pattern, with its effects largely attributed to “functional foods” which are able to positively influence one or more target functions, improving health and maintaining a state of well-being.

In this review, three “case-study” typical of the MedDiet, such as artichokes, capers and table olives are considered as traditional functional vegetables rich in bioactive compounds, mainly polyphenols. The review extensively discusses the antioxidant effects of these molecules, as well as their role in aging prevention and reduction, maintaining human health, and influencing the abundance and composition of intestinal microbiota. Additionally, this review focuses on the fate of the dietary polyphenols along the digestive tract.

Among biotechnological strategies, the review explores the role of fermentation process in modifying the biochemical profile, recovery, bioaccessibility and bioavailability of bioactive compounds present in some vegetable foods of MedDiet. Finally, the main challenges in the selection, addition, and maintenance of probiotic strains in traditional food products are also summarized, with a view to develop new probiotic carriers for “functional diets”.

地中海饮食中的功能食品：探索通过生物技术方法获得的蔬菜案例研究的功能特点

地中海饮食（MedDiet）是一种广受认可的饮食模式，其效果主要归功于 "功能性食品"，这些食品能够对一种或多种目标功能产生积极影响，从而改善健康状况并保持幸福感。在本综述中，朝鲜蓟、辣椒和食用橄榄这三种典型的地中海饮食 "案例研究 "被视为富含生物活性化合物（主要是多酚）的传统功能性蔬菜。这篇综述广泛讨论了这些分子的抗氧化作用，以及它们在预防和减少衰老、保持人体健康和影响肠道微生物群的丰度和组成方面的作用。此外，这篇综述还关注了膳食多酚在消化道中的去向。在生物技术策略中，综述探讨了发酵过程在改变生物活性化合物的生化特征、回收率、生物可及性和生物利用率方面的作用。最后，还总结了在传统食品中选择、添加和维持益生菌菌株的主要挑战，以期为 "功能性膳食 "开发新的益生菌载体。
