With the advancement of the food industry,dietary emulsifiers have gained widespread usage in food pro-cessing.However,their impact on intestinal health has increasingly become a matter of public concern.Emulsifiers can aggravate inflammatory responses within the intestines by altering the structure and abundance of intestinal flora.Simul-taneously,they can compromise the integrity of the intestinal barrier,thereby elevating the risk of intestinal diseases.Furthermore,it is crucial not to overlook the association between emulsifier consumption and metabolic syndrome as it may contribute to metabolic abnormalities such as obesity and hyperglycemia.Most alarmingly,consuming emulsifiers during pregnancy or breastfeeding may also exert adverse effects on future generations'health.This review aims to sum-marize and analyze current domestic and international research regarding various potential hazards associated with emul-sifiers,and focusing particularly on their impact on human health,specifically the gastrointestinal system.
