With the development of science and technology and the interpretation of food chemical substances and biological functions by food researchers, consumers' awareness of food functions has improved from satiety and nutrition to health. Facts have proved that most of the acute and chronic diseases of human beings are related to food, and epidemiological studies have confirmed that a long-term unhealthy diet causes many chronic human diseases. Therefore, understanding the health-promoting effects of bioactive ingredients in food is of great significance for preventing chronic diseases and improving the quality of life. Our research team uses molecular biology, cell biology, and analytical chemistry technologies to study the interaction of chemical food components with biochemical molecules in the body and gut microbiota and further explore the prevention and treatment mechanisms of food bioactive components on chronic diseases (cancer, obesity, diabetes), and eventually develop related health products. Our research philosophy is, "Since the disease comes from the mouth, let us eat away the disease gracefully through a healthy diet. "
