Storage is a typical German dish made with fermented cabbage and well known for its benefits to intestinal health. Now, a new study by researchers at the University of California, Davis, reinforces these benefits and shows that the revenue can assist in digestion and offer disease protection.
Published in the magazine Applied and Environmental Microbiology On April 7, the work analyzed what happens during the fermentation of the cabbage during the preparation of the sauerkrack. The researchers wanted to understand, specifically, how the metabolites of the recipe compare to those of raw cabbage.
For this, they tested whether the nutrients in the sauerkraut could help protect intestinal cells from inflammation -related damage. The study compared raw cabbage, sauerkraut and liquid brine [solução de água e sal, que pode ser utilizada para conservar alimentos] resulting from the fermentation process. Save samples included products purchased in stores and laboratory fermented cabbage.
The researchers found that sauerkraut helped maintain the integrity of intestinal cells, contrary to what happened to raw cabbage and brine.
“Some of the metabolites we find in sauerkraut are the same as we find to be produced by the intestinal microbiome, which gives us a little more confidence that this connection we find among the sucking metabolites and good intestinal health makes sense,” says Maria Marco, professor of the Department of Science and Technology, in press release.
“In a way, it doesn’t matter if we do save at home or buy it on the market; both types of saucer seem to protect the intestinal function,” he adds.
What are the benefits of sauerkraut for intestinal health?
Studies have shown that fermentation carried out in the preparation of sauerkraut alters the nutritional profile of cabbage, increasing metabolites such as lactic acid, amino acids and plant chemicals associated with intestinal health.
Now researchers want to determine which metabolites produced during fermentation can play the largest role in long -term intestinal health.
“In addition to eating more fresh fibers, fruits and vegetables, even if we eat only a regular portion of sauerkraut, perhaps include more of these recipes in our diet can help us long -term inflammation, for example, and make our digestive tract more resilient when we have some disorder,” says Marco.
Marco said the next step is to perform human tests to verify that the gut protective metabolites found in sauerkraut can have the same positive effects when included in the daily diet as shown in the laboratory.
