We previously developed protein-containing prebiotics that co-deliver carbohydrate and protein substrates to the colon, where gut-microbes compete for the limited nitrogen availability, thereby enhancing microbial growth, metabolic activity, and host health compared with conventional carbohydrate prebiotics. Resveratrol is a grape-derived polyphenol with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and emerging prebiotic activity. Here, we developed a multifunctional protein-containing prebiotic system based on Maillard conjugates of 2\u2032-fucosyllactose\u2013potato protein hydrolysate (2\u2032-FL-PPH) micelles encapsulating resveratrol, followed by genipin crosslinking. This crosslinked 2\u2032-FL-PPH-resveratrol system is designed to limit premature protein and resveratrol absorption, enhancing their colonic co-delivery. We characterized the encapsulation efficacy, physicochemical properties, digestibility and colonic delivery. The conjugates (10 mg\/mL 2\u2032-FL-PPH) effectively entrapped resveratrol (600 \u00b5M), exhibiting an average particle size of ~28 nm and an encapsulation efficiency of 79.5 \u00b1 4.9%. Binding studies demonstrated predominantly hydrophobic interactions between resveratrol and 2\u2032-FL-PPH. The conjugates prevented resveratrol crystallization in aqueous media, while genipin crosslinking enhanced resistance to simulated gastrointestinal digestion and inhibited premature resveratrol release, increasing the fraction expected to reach the colon. Collectively, this system enables colonic co-delivery of carbohydrate, peptides, and resveratrol, providing a novel strategy for promoting beneficial-microbiota and gut-health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods15162923","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,20]],"date-time":"2026-08-20T12:57:53Z","timestamp":1787230673000},"page":"2923","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Multi-Functional Prebiotic Strategy: Crosslinked 2\u2032-Fucosyllactose-Potato Protein Hydrolysate Conjugates Encapsulating Resveratrol for Co-Delivery to Beneficial Gut Bacteria"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9045-4513","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stav","family":"Peled","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biopolymers for Food and Health, Department of Biotechnology and Food Engineering, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 3200003, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amit","family":"Sontag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biopolymers for Food and Health, Department of Biotechnology and Food Engineering, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 3200003, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ravit","family":"Edelman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biopolymers for Food and Health, Department of Biotechnology and Food Engineering, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 3200003, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8273-9631","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoav D.","family":"Livney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biopolymers for Food and Health, Department of Biotechnology and Food Engineering, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 3200003, Israel"},{"name":"The Esther and Herbert Hecht Sustainable Protein Research Center, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 3200003, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2369","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra1600266","article-title":"The Human Intestinal Microbiome in Health and Disease","volume":"375","author":"Lynch","year":"2016","journal-title":"N.
