There is substantial interest in the role of plant secondary metabolites as protective dietary agents. In particular, the involvement of flavonoids and related compounds has become a major topic in human nutrition research. Evidence from epidemiological and human intervention studies is emerging regarding the protective effects of various (poly)phenol-rich foods against several chronic diseases, including neurodegeneration, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. In recent years, the use of HPLC–MS…

The Bioavailability, Transport, and Bioactivity of Dietary Flavonoids: A Review from a Historical Perspective.
TLDR
This review traces the development of the field over the past 8 decades, and indicates the current state of the art, and how it was reached.
Phenolic compounds in fruits and beverages consumed as part of the mediterranean diet: their role in prevention of chronic diseases
TLDR
The level of evidence for a beneficial effect in humans of phenolic compounds on the prevention of CDs is weak and need to be strengthened by additional studies addressing potential confounding factors, such as interaction of phenols with other bioactive substances in foods and potential pro-oxidant effects.

Absorption Profile of (Poly)Phenolic Compounds after Consumption of Three Food Supplements Containing 36 Different Fruits, Vegetables, and Berries
TLDR
Investigation of the absorption profile of the (poly)phenolic compounds contained in three different plant-based food supplements, made of 36 different plant matrices, showed that the consumption of the three capsules allowed the effective absorption of several ( poly) Phenolic compounds and metabolites appearing at different times in plasma, thereby indicating different absorption profiles.
Dietary Flavonoids as Cancer Chemopreventive Agents: An Updated Review of Human Studies
TLDR
It is concluded that dietary flavonoid intake is associated with a reduced risk of different types of cancer, such as gastric, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers.
Investigating the impact of flavonoid metabolites on endothelial function and vascular inflammation
TLDR
Data herein suggest multiple mechanisms are modulated by flavonoid metabolites which contributes to the authors' understanding of how flavonoids influence physiological responses, and therefore the associations between diet and health.
Factors affecting intake, metabolism and health benefits of phenolic acids: do we understand individual variability?
TLDR
A better understanding of the gut-host interplay and microbiome biochemistry is becoming highly relevant in understanding the impact of diet and its constituents, and it should be preferred that health responders and non-responders are studied in combination with explanatory metabolite profiles and gene variants.
Physiological relevance of food antioxidants.
Dietary absorption profile, bioavailability of (poly)phenolic compounds, and acute modulation of vascular/endothelial function by hazelnut skin drink
Bioaccessibility and bioavailability of phenolic compounds in bread: a review.
TLDR
Overall, the findings suggest that several strategies can be used to develop new bread products with greater phenolic bioaccessibility and bioavailability, however, due to the large variability and the few studies available, further investigations are required to determine better the usefulness of these innovative processes.

Fruit polyphenols, immunity and inflammation
TLDR
Evidence for the effects of fruit and tea flavonoids and their metabolites in inflammation and immunity is summarized and Mechanisms of effect are discussed, including those on enzyme function and regulation of gene and protein expression.

TLDR
Gallic acid and isoflavones are the most well-absorbed polyphenols, followed by catechins, flavanones, and quercetin glucosides, but with different kinetics, and the least well- absorption polyphenol are the proanthocyanidins, the galloylated tea catech ins, andThe anthocyanins.

TLDR
Phenol-Explorer is the first comprehensive web-based database on polyphenol content in foods and should help researchers to better understand the role of phytochemicals in the technical and nutritional quality of food, and food manufacturers to develop tailor-made healthy foods.

TLDR
Key recommendations made during the workshop included more coordination of efforts; development of new databases, software tools, and chemical libraries for the food metabolome; and shared repositories of metabolomic data.
