This enzymatic breakdown generates intermediate structural fragments, which are subsequently converted into pectin oligosaccharides (POS) and monosaccharides. POS exhibit prebiotic properties and have demonstrated potential health benefits, including anti-carcinogenic effects, mucoadhesive capabilities, and the promotion of beneficial gut bacterial growth. However, the current understanding of the molecular structure of pectin and its degradation dynamics remains fragmented within the literature, impeding progress in dietary fiber intervention research and the development of personalized nutrition approaches. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the structural features of pectin and the intricate breakdown mechanisms orchestrated by CAZymes.

This review focuses on the metabolic fate and potential regulatory targets of ALA-containing lipids <i>in vivo</i>, specifically the pathway from the gastrointestinal tract to the lymph, blood circulation, and liver. We propose a hypothesis that positively regulates the conversion of ALA into n-3 LCPUFAs based on the model of \"fast\" or \"slow\" absorption, transport, and hepatic metabolic fate. Furthermore, the potential effects of dietary nutrients on the metabolic conversion of ALA into n-3 LCPUFAs are discussed. The conversion of ALA is differentially regulated by structured lipids, phospholipids, other lipids, carbohydrates, specific proteins, amino acids, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals.
