Researchers have found a way to enhance the health benefits of polyphenolic compounds by making them water-soluble through glycosylation, paving the way for potentially life-saving drugs.
Polyphenols are a class of compounds found in many plant-based foods. Polyphenols help prevent cellular damage in the body and can help prevent diseases such as cancer or heart disease. However, many of them do not dissolve in water, making it difficult to fully take advantage of their health benefits.
“By exploring the mechanisms behind the production of these compounds in bacteria and providing methods for manipulating sugar biosynthesis, we can create useful medical agents and improve lives,” Zhan said.
