Human Digestion Health under Plant-Based Foods

Dear Colleagues,

Human health is largely dependent on diet. Plant-based food is crucial to human health, supplying various important dietary nutrients ingested through the gastrointestinal digestive tract to support human metabolism. This Special Issue is focused on the plant foods with a significant nutritional influence on human digestive health. We encourage relevant research submissions to reflect the most recent progress or to highlight the most crucial points of scientific emphasis within the contemporary literature. You are kindly encouraged to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue, wherein all research articles, communications, or scientific reviews are welcome. As suggested, the relevant topics can touch upon, but are not limited to, the following:

a) plant-based macro/micro food components with significant valuable or negative nutritional influence;

b) plant fibre sources with nutritional value;

c) plant food components and gut microbial health;

d) plant foods digested in vitro/in vivo.

This Special Issue promises to create new opportunities to boost public dietary health discussions that are grounded by insightful knowledge into plant-based food nutrients ingested by humans.
