Minirvew about phenolic compound and its efficacy for health

Abstract

Polyphenolic compounds (PC) are among the most abundant secondary metabolites in nature. They are widely distributed in the world and can be found in fruits, cereals, tea, coffee, and beverages. Polyphenols can act as antioxidants, mainly due to the electron-donating phenolic groups in their structures. The antioxidant function of polyphenols in the prevention of oxidative stress-related cellular and extracellular damage, Polyphenols provide a variety of functions, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and anti-tumor. The current work aims to needed to fully understand the mechanisms and benefits of polyphenols in various health conditions. Polyphenolic compounds abridge a wide diversity of compounds that are vastly distributed in fruits cereals and beverages. They play important roles in human health, mainly the consumption of food rich in PC is related with many human health benefits, mostly due to the antioxidant activity
