Abstract

The intestinal microbiota has many important functions in the human body. Many factors influence its composition, including diet. It is well known that an unhealthy diet and processed food are not indifferent to health. Processed food is the subject of much research, most often in the context of the development of obesity, type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Food additives are widely used to improve the taste, texture or attractiveness of food. Due to the proven occurrence of intestinal dysbiosis in many diseases, various types of food additives and their impact on the intestinal microbiome should be tested. Some food additives have been proven to have adverse effects on the composition and quantity of the intestinal microbiota in animals, despite the doses used being in the ADI range.
