ABSTRACT

Antioxidants are important ingredients that are present in fruits and vegetables (FAV). With increased consumption of FAV in its raw and processed form, a predominantly plant-based diet rich in FAV could reduce the risk of the development of chronic human diseases. This review highlights the potentials of the various types of antioxidants containing FAV; their impact on human health as nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and phytoceuticals; as well as prospects in tackling some chronic human diseases. The structures and activity relationship of the antioxidant compounds, as well as their mechanism of action, are examined from current scientific investigations. Information provided herein will give more insight into the roles of antioxidant ingredients present in FAV.

摘要

抗氧化剂是水果和蔬菜（FAV）中存在的重要成分。随着原料和加工形式的FAV消费量的增加，富含FAV的植物性饮食（主要是植物性饮食）可以降低人类慢性病发展的风险。这篇综述重点介绍了各种含有FAV的抗氧化剂的潜力；它们作为保健食品，药物和植物药对人类健康的影响；以及解决一些慢性人类疾病的前景。抗氧化剂化合物的结构和活性之间的关系，以及它们的作用机理，从目前的科学研究中得到了检验。本文提供的信息将使您更深入地了解FAV中存在的抗氧化剂成分的作用。
