Phytochemicals are bioactive non-nutrient plant compounds, which have been great interests to the researchers because of their potential effects as antioxidants, antiestrogenics, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anticarcinogenics. However, the bioavailability and effects of polyphenols greatly depend on their transformation by components of the gut microbiota. Phytochemicals and their metabolic products may also inhibit pathogenic bacteria while stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria, exerting prebiotic-like effects. Gut microbiota influences the development and maturation of the digestive and immune systems and is a source of regulatory signals, some of which may be suitable for exploitation for therapeutic purposes. This chapter focuses on interaction between phyto-metabolites or plant secondary metabolites and gut microbial population in non-ruminants and harvesting nutritional, health and environmental benefits, consequently in the interest of human population.
