Abstract/Summary

This study, investigated the stability of dicarbonyl compounds (DCs), 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG), glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO) during simulated gastrointestinal digestion processes and the impact these compounds have on the gut microbiota. DCs pass almost unaltered through the in-vitro gastrointestinal digestion phases (concentration loss: 11% for 3-DG, 24% for GO and MGO) and have an effect on the fermentative digestion process, reducing the total gut bacterial population up to 6 Log10 units. Previous studies have shown no antimicrobial activity for 3-DG, however, for the first time it has been shown that when incubated with faecal bacteria 3-DG strongly depressed this microbial community. The influence of dicarbonyl compounds on the anaerobic fermentation processes was confirmed by the reduced production of short-chain fatty acids. Considering the modern Western diet, characterised by high consumption of ultra-processed foods rich in dicarbonyl compounds, this could lead to a reduction of bacteria important for the microbiome.
