Phenolic compounds in fruits – an overview

Abstract: Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely found in fruits, mostly represented by flavonoids and phenolic acids. The growing interest in these substances is mainly because of their antioxidant potential and the association between their consumption and the prevention of some diseases. The health benefits of these phytochemicals are directly linked to a regular intake and their bioavailability. Studies have shown the importance of the regular consumption of fruits, especially for preventing diseases as… Show more

“…In particular, phenolic compounds isolated from plants are recognised as the most promising group of molecules that help to prevent oxidation and maintain product quality (Olfe, Ianzhong, & Iu, 2003 The apple (Malus domestico) pomace of the high carbohydrate content is used as a substrate in a number of microbial processes for the production of organic acids, enzymes, and pigments (Figuerola & Mar, 2005). Apple pomace can be used for flavour compounds, oxalic acid and as a medium for bakers yeast for pigment production, radical-scavenging and antioxidant properties of apple polyphenols are frequently cited as important contributors in different models of human chronic diseases (Elleuch et al, 2011;Haminiuk et al, 2012).…”

“…Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites found in plants and plant derived foods such as fruits, teas and red wine (Haminiuk et al, 2012). They are used by the plants against phytopathogens, radiation and are involved in antioxidant events (Tiveron et al, 2012).…”

“…Phenolic compounds, a diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, not only impart color and flavor to berries, but also beneficial effects against chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and certain degenerative diseases (Haminiuk, Maciel, Plata-Oviedo, & Peralta, 2012;ZafraStone et al, 2007). The phenolic compounds of berries are classified into several structural and chemical classes such as phenolic acid (hydroxybenzoic acids and hydroxycinnamic acids), flavonoids (anthocyanins and flavonols), stilbenes (resveratrol), lignans, and tannins (hydrolyzed tannins and condensed tannins) (Paredes-López, Cervantes-Ceja, VignaPérez, & Hernández-Pérez, 2010).…”
