About

Dietary intake modulates the composition, structure, and function of the gut microbiome, however, the effects and the underlying molecular mechanisms of food components or additives on the gut microbiota, the structure-function relationship, as well as the difference and synergy effect among them are still not fully understood. This Research Topic will focus on the impact and working mechanism of proteins and certain food additives on microbiota, taking into account individual variability of the metabolic process and molecular mechanism of specific proteins/peptides/amino acids.

Microbiota modulation by proteins and food additives is of interest in particular in the context of precision nutrition, and custom-tailored production of food products/nutritional supplements. In this research topic, we welcome the contributions of original research articles and reviews dealing with:

1. Effects and structure-function relationship of proteins and food additives on the compositions and functions of gut microbiota.
2. Difference and synergy effect of proteins and food additives on gut microbiota and subsequently on the host health, especially intestinal function.
3. Metabolic mechanism of proteins and food additives by gut microbiota, especially through the specific enzymes.
