Abstract

Artichoke is a highly appreciated vegetable in the Mediterranean diet due to its high nutritional and pharmacological values. The artichoke has a high content of minerals, vitamins and phenolic compounds. Furthermore, it contains high levels of inulin, a non-digestible carbohydrate in the human gastrointestinal tract, which exerts an interesting prebiotic action on some bacteria of the gut microbiota. Inulin consumption has been associated with the growth of bacteria that produce lactic acid and increase the amount of Bifidobacterium and Akkermancia muciniphila, among others, and decrease gram-positive cocci in humans and mice. The effects that inulin intake has on behavior and cognition vary according to the dose, whether combined with food or not, and the time during which it is consumed. Although inulin has been widely studied in food, there are few studies on the effect it has on behavior and mental health. Therefore, future studies should consider the possible beneficial effect of inulin intake on different mental illnesses.
