Funded Activity Summary

Impact of seaweed polyphenols on gut health: Gut microbiome modulation. This project aims to understand the true impact of seaweed polyphenols on the gut microbiome and develop methods to improve their bioavailability, bioaccessibility and bioactivities in the gut. The project's use of cutting-edge analytical tools helps to investigate the movement and absorption of phenolic compounds across the gut. This project expects to explore new knowledge in the area of marine-based functional foods and their health benefits using an innovative interdisciplinary approach. The success of this project will ultimately provide a new pathway for the development of functional foods that will help to improve the health status of Australians by consuming healthy food ingredients.
