Catalysis can contribute to improved gut health in several ways:
Enzymatic Catalysis: Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate the breakdown of food into nutrients. Enhanced enzymatic activity can improve digestion and nutrient absorption. Probiotic Production: Catalysis can be used in the industrial production of probiotics, beneficial bacteria that can help maintain a healthy gut microbiota. Prebiotic Synthesis: Catalysts can aid in the synthesis of prebiotics, non-digestible fibers that promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
