Mostrar más [+] Menos [-]Polyphenols are the most prevalent antioxidant phytochemicals with many health benefits ascribed to their use. An expansion of the global polyphenol economy is also due to the demand and application of polyphenols as food additives (e.g., in baked products, noodles, and pasta). This report combines available scientific knowledge on factors that dictate polyphenol synthesis in plants, their extraction methods, and utilization. The report also provides information on global polyphenol research and project funding history, which could serve as a critical reference for researchers world wide. Screening of traditional edible plants that have the potential of high yield of polyphenols should continue.
