Dietary melanoidins as emerging functional components: interactions with gut microbiota and implications for nutritional modulation of intestinal health

Melanoidins are natural brown compounds formed when foods are cooked or fermented, found in items like roasted coffee, bread, and soy sauce. When eaten, these compounds pass through the stomach and small intestine unchanged, then are broken down by beneficial bacteria in the colon. This breakdown produces helpful substances that support gut health, reduce inflammation, and may help prevent digestive diseases like irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.

Potential Roles of Exogenous Proteases and Lipases as Prebiotics

This review explores how digestive enzymes like proteases and lipases work similarly to prebiotics—foods that feed beneficial bacteria in your gut. When animals consumed supplements of these enzymes, their gut bacteria became healthier, producing more beneficial compounds and showing improved intestinal health. These findings suggest that fermented foods and raw foods containing natural digestive enzymes, as well as enzyme supplements, may help promote a healthy gut microbiome.
