Purpose In this review, we summarize current evidence on the gut microbiome and microbial
metabolites in relation to obesity and obesity-associated metabolic disorders. Special …

During the last decade, major scientific advances on understanding the mechanisms of lipid
digestion and metabolism have been made, with a view to addressing health issues (such …

Because of their unusual chemical structure, bile salts (BS) play a fundamental role in
intestinal lipid digestion and transport. BS have a planar arrangement of hydrophobic and …

Functional and engineered colloids fabricated from edible materials have recently gained a
lot of interest for futuristic applications in the field of foods for purposes ranging from …

Dietary fats and oils are an important component of our diet and a significant contributor to
total energy and intake of lipophilic nutrients and bioactives. We discuss their fate in a wide …

Background Edible oleogels, oils structured by non-triglyceride networks, can be used for
the delivery of lipid-soluble molecules due to their composition, functional properties, and …

Bile salts are ionic amphiphilic compounds with a steroid skeleton. Among the most
important physiological properties of bile salts are lipid transport by solubilization and …
