When food molecules enter the bloodstream and reach cells, some are used for energy, Barabási says, while others can bind to cell proteins or DNA, influencing biological processes.

Food contains more than 139,000 molecules, which influence nearly half the human proteome. Systematic analysis of food–chemical interactions can potentially advance nutrition science and drug ...

However, food processing, aimed at improving shelf stability and enhancing taste, removes the bioactive molecules like fiber and polyphenols that help regulate this system.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Olfactive Biosolutions, the leader in adapting food molecules to treat chronic diseases, was recently granted U.S. patent US 12,186,299 dated Jan. 7, 2025 ...

The activation of taste receptors by various food molecules triggers specific pathways, resulting in the sensation of taste. The association of chloride ion, a component of table salt, with a ...

The algorithm compared the molecules of cancer-treating drugs to those found in foods to produce a map of 110 food-based molecules with seemingly similar effects to clinical cancer treatments.

Olfactive Biosolutions' Protenx Weight Loss is a patented (US 12,102,664 B2) line of natural food ingredients and additives that target weight loss and blood sugar reduction that could help brands ...

Some molecules from the mother’s diet, like garlic or carrots, reach the fetus’s developing taste buds via the amniotic fluid and can affect the appreciation of these foods after birth.

These molecules can either block certain processes from happening or accelerate them. Initially, Barabási assumed mapping food molecules' interactions with human cells would be straightforward.
