Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2018, 62 , 1800396 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201800396 Quinic acid (QA) is abundant in foods including coffee and cranberries. In article number 1800396 , Sofia Moco and co‐workers use an in vitro colonic model to assess the gut metabolism of [U‐ 13 C]‐QA. Using metabolomics, two degradation routes were proposed: a reductive and an oxidative path. Elucidating the gut microbial biotransformation of food bioactives such as QA is relevant for understanding nutritional effects on human metabolism.
