Spontaneous and Microbiota-Driven Degradation of Anthocyanins in an In Vitro Human Colon Model.
Molecular nutrition & food research
The consumption of dietary anthocyanins is associated with various health benefits. However, anthocyanins are poorly bioavailable, and most ingested anthocyanins will enter the colon where they are degraded to small phenolic metabolites that are the main absorbed forms. Little is known about the processes of anthocyanin degradation in the gut and the role of the human gut microbiota. This study aims to determine the contribution of spontaneous and microbiota-dependent degradation of anthocyanins in the human colon.
