04 Jun 2018 --- Diana Food has set out to explore the positive impact of polyphenols on the modulation of gut microbiota by creating a research chair to study the prebiotic role of polyphenols. The company is working in close cooperation with Université Laval and its Institute of Nutrition and Functional Foods (INAF - Quebec), as well as Canada’s Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (CRSNG). The program will explore the effects of fruit and vegetable polyphenols on the modulation of gut microbiota and find out more about the underlying mechanisms of action of these bioactive compounds, alone or combined with probiotic bacteria.
