Description

Jackfruit carries a rich mix of phenolic compounds, yet most studies chase only the easy-to-extract free forms and ignore the bound ones. Liru Ma, Zhen Feng, Chao Zhang, Chunhe Gu, and Yihong Bao follow both forms as the fruit ripens, passes through lab digestion, and ferments with gut microbes. Ripening converts bound forms into free ones, and each digestion stage treats them differently.

The compounds also reshaped the gut community in the lab, favoring helpful bacteria and boosting output of short-chain fatty acids, the acids that feed the colon wall. Mapping the whole journey, from orchard ripeness to gut effects, helps growers and food makers use more of the fruit.
