Impacts of Fermented Pea- and Legume-based Product on Gut Microbiota and Health

This study aims to investigate the effects of consuming fermented pea- and legume-based product on gut and overall human health. It is a randomized, single-blinded, controlled, cross-over trial with a dietary intervention. A total of 100 participants will be enrolled in this study and they will eat both fermented and unfermented pea- and legume-based products for three weeks. Participants will eat their habitual diet between the dietary intervention periods (wash-out). During the study, participants' perceived health, inflammatory markers, glucose and lipid metabolism, tryptophan metabolites, gastrointestinal symptoms, and gut microbiota will be assessed.
