The intersection of polyphenols and artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging field with potential for innovative applications.
Here are some ways in which polyphenols and AI can intersect:
- Predictive Modeling: AI techniques, such as machine learning and data mining, can be utilized to analyze large datasets on polyphenol content, structure, bioactivity, and health effects. By training AI models on this data, researchers can develop predictive models that assess the relationship between polyphenols and various outcomes, such as antioxidant capacity, bioavailability, or specific health benefits. These models can aid in the design and optimization of future studies and help identify promising polyphenol candidates for further investigation.
- Virtual Screening and Drug Discovery: AI algorithms can be used to perform virtual screening of large databases of polyphenolic compounds. By employing molecular docking and machine learning methods, AI can predict the potential interactions between polyphenols and specific targets, such as enzymes or receptors involved in disease processes. This can facilitate the identification of novel polyphenols with therapeutic potential and expedite the drug discovery process.
- Formulation Optimization: AI algorithms can assist in optimizing the formulation of polyphenol-rich products, such as functional foods, supplements, or pharmaceutical preparations. By considering factors such as stability, bioavailability, taste, and texture, AI can help in designing formulations that maximize the benefits and acceptability of polyphenol products.
- Precision Nutrition: AI can contribute to personalized nutrition approaches by integrating data on individual characteristics, such as genetic information, microbiome composition, and lifestyle factors. By incorporating this data with knowledge about polyphenols, AI systems can generate personalized dietary recommendations that leverage the potential health benefits of polyphenols for specific individuals or populations.
- Data Integration and Knowledge Discovery: AI techniques can aid in integrating and analyzing diverse sources of information related to polyphenols, including scientific literature, clinical studies, genomic data, and food composition databases. AI can help identify patterns, correlations, and novel insights from this complex and heterogeneous data landscape, thereby enhancing our understanding of the relationships between polyphenols, human health, and disease.

]]>Polyphenols have potential applications in the development of space food for astronauts. Here are some ways in which polyphenols can contribute to space food:
Antioxidant Protection: Polyphenols are known for their antioxidant properties, which can help protect cells from oxidative damage caused by radiation exposure in space. Including polyphenol-rich ingredients in space food formulations can provide astronauts with additional antioxidant support to mitigate the effects of radiation.
Nutrient Retention: Space food must be able to retain its nutritional value over extended periods. Polyphenols, with their antioxidant activity, can help preserve the stability of essential nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, during storage and prolonged space missions. By inhibiting oxidation, polyphenols can contribute to maintaining the nutritional quality of space food.
Immunomodulation: Space travel can have an impact on the immune system, making astronauts more susceptible to infections and illnesses. Polyphenols have been shown to possess immunomodulatory effects, supporting the immune system's function. Incorporating polyphenols into space food formulations may help bolster the immune response of astronauts during their missions.
Psychological Well-being: Long-duration space missions can be mentally challenging for astronauts. Polyphenols have been associated with mood-enhancing effects and may have a positive impact on mental well-being. Including polyphenol-rich ingredients in space food can potentially contribute to psychological support and help mitigate the effects of stress and isolation.
Nutritional Variety and Palatability: Space food often faces challenges in terms of variety and taste. Polyphenol-rich ingredients, such as fruits, vegetables, and herbs, can add flavors, colors, and textures to space food, enhancing sensory appeal and increasing variety. This can help address issues of monotony and enhance the overall palatability of space meals.
Gut Health: Maintaining gut health during space travel is crucial for astronauts' overall well-being and nutrient absorption. Polyphenols have been linked to positive effects on gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and supporting gut barrier integrity. Including polyphenols in space food can help promote a healthy gut microbiota and ensure optimal nutrient utilization.
If you and your team are working on a project concerning the different applications of Polyphenols in Space Food, you can submit your project to Polyphenols Applications that will support it if selected.

]]>Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the International Society of Antioxidants in Nutrition and Health (ISANH), the International Society of Microbiota, and the Scientific Committee, we are delighted to announce that the 14th World Congress on Polyphenols Applications will be organized on September 22-24, 2021 as an Interactive Online Congress, with Live slots reserved for discussion.
The 2021 World Congress on Polyphenols will follow the tradition of the previous editions of the conference and will bring together experts from academia and industry to discuss the latest scientific advances in fundamental and applied research on polyphenols. While the focus of the conference will be on food and nutrition research, also pharmaceutical and medical sciences, as well as related disciplines such as microbiology and biotechnology, will be covered.
We particularly welcome contributions to the following areas of research on polyphenols:
Chemistry of polyphenols including synthesis and analysis of metabolites and reactions of phenolic compounds
Ongoing advances in analytical chemistry have provided us with an ever-increasing knowledge about the profile of phenolic compounds in plants and plant-derived foods. We will address studies on novel approaches in sample preparation, chromatographic separation and detection of phenolics, including hyphenated techniques such as LC-ion mobility mass spectrometry and LC-NMR spectroscopy. Presentations on the characterization of novel structures, reaction mechanisms, and the synthesis of phenolic metabolites are also highly welcome.
Polyphenols-microbiome interactions, bioavailability, metabolism and health effects
It is well known that phenolic compounds are extensively metabolized by the human microbiome and endogenous enzymes. Vice versa, phenolics taken up from food have an effect on the composition of gut microorganisms. This session will address the latest findings on the interplay of phenolics and microbiota from a cross-disciplinary view and will highlight the interrelationship between bioavailability, metabolism and bioactivity. We will also address recent research on the role of polyphenols in the prevention of degenerative diseases.
Technological, microbiological and biotechnological aspects of polyphenols
To increase our knowledge about the effects of processing on phenolic compounds, we will address studies related to conventional and novel technologies and their impact on the stability of phenolics. In view of the great importance of fermented plant-derived products, we also welcome studies on the fate of polyphenols during food fermentations. Other topics of interest will be the application of polyphenols as antioxidants for lipid and protein protection, the use of phenolic compounds as natural preservatives and colorants, and the sensory properties of polyphenols including volatile phenolics.
Innovations in industrial applications of polyphenols
The session will address approaches in product development, exploitation of novel sources of phenolic compounds, and new processes for extraction and formulation of polyphenols on an industrial scale.
Abstracts are welcome for all the above-mentioned topics. A significant part of the conference will be allocated to presentations from young scientists. Therefore, we particularly encourage postdoctoral fellows and advanced doctoral students to submit abstracts for consideration of potential inclusion as oral or poster presentations.
We hope that you will enjoy the Polyphenols 2021 Congress and that your interactions with your colleagues from many countries will stimulate a creative exchange of ideas and challenges.
