Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are foods that are industrially processed and are often pre-
packaged, convenient, energy-dense, and nutrient-poor. UPFs are widespread in the current …

Butyrate, propionate, and acetate are short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) mainly produced by
bacterial metabolism in the human gut after dietary fiber intake. SCFAs are considered …

Pectin is a natural biopolymer, which can be extracted from food by-products, adding value
to raw material, with a structure more complex than that of other polysaccharides. The …
