Anthocyanins, potent bioactive compounds found abundantly in berries, as well as in many other pigmented edible plants, have garnered significant attention for their health-promoting properties, particularly in relation to gut microbiota. This review focuses on the protective role of anthocyanins against gut microbiota disruption caused by microplastics, environmental pollutants that have triggered increased concerns in recent years for their impact on ecosystems and human health. By synthesizing current research, the mechanisms through which anthocyanins may exert their beneficial effects are explored, mitigating the negative health effects of microplastic ingestion. The paper also discusses the potential application of anthocyanin-rich functional foods and supplements as a strategy to preserve gut health in the face of rising environmental challenges.
