Metabolic profiling of (poly)phenolic compounds in mouse urine following consumption of hull-less and purple-grain barley

-sulphate among flavan-3-ols. Metabolites like phenylpropionic, phenylacetic, hydroxybenzoic, and hippuric acids were found in both WGB and SD groups, with higher levels after barley consumption, indicating both endogenous and polyphenolic metabolism origins. Overall, this study offers valuable insights into the metabolism of (poly)phenols in purple barley, setting the stage for future investigations into the health benefits linked to the consumption of purple grain barley.
