A fruitful approach to gut health and functionality
Fruits are essential for human health due to their bioactive compounds (BC), including dietary fibers, phenolic acids, flavonoids, carotenoids, and vitamins. These compounds offer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and gut microbiota-modulating properties, improving intestinal health by enhancing peristalsis, reducing constipation, and strengthening the gut barrier. Polyphenols help prevent oxidative stress, chronic diseases, and gut dysbiosis, while prebiotic fibers and short-chain fatty acids support microbial diversity and immune function. Specific fruits, such as mango, kiwi, berries, and avocado, aid in inflammatory bowel disease management by reducing inflammation, promoting tissue repair, and improving microbiome composition. Fruits also alleviate constipation by retaining stool moisture and enhancing motility. Their role in gut integrity includes modulating microbiota, enhancing tight junction proteins, and reducing oxidative stress. Overall, fruits provide diverse benefits for gastrointestinal health and chronic disease prevention.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
