Intestinal organoids as advanced modeling platform for food research: a review

Abstract Intestinal organoids have emerged as powerful tools in biomedical research, offering a physiologically relevant model of the gut that can replicate the functions and microenvironments of the human intestine. In this study, we conducted a scientific review of the development and commonly used detection methods for intestinal organoids. Drawing from existing studies, we summarized the applications of intestinal organoids in food research. Intestinal organoids have revolutionized the field of food research by providing a sophisticated and physiologically relevant model system to study the complex interactions between food components, the gut microbiota and food safety. Based on these limitations, we propose that integration of intelligent strategies such as engineering and artificial intelligence technology with intestinal organoids will become a powerful tool for food innovation and personalized nutrition in the future.
