Plant Cell Walls: Impact on Nutrient Bioaccessibility and Digestibility

Cell walls are important structural components of plants, affecting both the bioaccessibility and subsequent digestibility of the nutrients

The cell wall lies outside the plasma membrane, which defines the boundaries of the cell itself The wall is freely permeable to most molecules, but the
