This review presents the comprehensive knowledge about the bidirectional relationship
between polyphenols and the gut microbiome. The first part is related to polyphenols' …

Tannins are a heterogeneous group of high MW, water‐soluble, polyphenolic compounds,
naturally present in cereals, leguminous seeds and, predominantly, in many fruits and …

As of late, polyphenols have increasingly interested the scientific community due to their
proposed health benefits. Much of this attention has focused on their bioavailability …

Polyphenolic compounds are plant nutraceuticals showing a huge structural diversity,
including chlorogenic acids, hydrolyzable tannins, and flavonoids (flavonols, flavanones …

The biological properties of dietary polyphenols are greatly dependent on their
bioavailability that, in turn, is largely influenced by their degree of polymerization. The gut …

The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the conversion of dietary flavonoids and thereby
affects their health-promoting effects in the human host. The identification of the bacteria …

Human intervention trials have provided evidence for protective effects of various (poly)
phenol-rich foods against chronic disease, including cardiovascular disease …

There is substantial interest in the role of plant secondary metabolites as protective dietary
agents. In particular, the involvement of flavonoids and related compounds has become a …

Determination of bioactive compounds content directly from foodstuff is not enough for the
prediction of potential in vivo effects, as metabolites reaching the blood system may be …
