Microbial biotransformation of plant-derived bioactive compounds: structural modifications, enhanced bioavailability, and functional food applications

Abstract Plant-derived bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, polysaccharides, alkaloids, terpenoids/saponins, lignans and glucosinolates, are widely valued for their health-promoting potential, yet poor bioavailability and, in several cases, biological inactivity in native...
