Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript submitted to IJMS (ijms-707750) is a review concerning the potential interactions of curcumin and gut microbiota. In general, it is well-written and organized paper. However, it is required to provide the structures of curcumin and its metabolites, or even a proposal of transformation pathways of curcumin. There was no comment on the class of compounds which curcumin belong to. In addition, any introduction about sources (plant materials, food) is necessary.

In the section 3. Please provide more information about concentrations (differences) of compound used in the referred studies, e.g. L. 115 „activity of low dose curcumin”. What was the low concentration? More details of studies are needed.

299-303 Please provide any references.

More references concerning curcumin are required for this review manuscript.
