Concepts Important in Understanding the Health Benefits of Phenolics in Fruits and Vegetables: Extractable & Non-Extractable Phenolics and the Influence of Cell Wall Polysaccharides on Bioaccessibility & Bioavailability

摘要: The health benefits associated with a diet high in fruits and vegetables are well established key source of phenolic compounds. Phenolic compounds have been shown to demonstrate antioxidant, antiinflammatory, anti-carcinogenic activities. However order provide , these must be bioaccessible bioavailable the body after ingestion. Evidence is emerging that demonstrates importance plant cell wall polysaccharides as factor affecting bioaccessibility consequent bioavailability phenolics. Also, phenolics does depend on their concentration content has commonly underreported due aqueous organic extraction method typically used. Determination extractable nonextractable using more complete necessary obtain accurate measurements foods. This review discusses following: concepts vegetables; influence compound including discussion types polysaccharide-phenolic interactions; an examination release from during simulated gastrointestinal digestion; how may uptake/bioavailability aim paper stimulate increased research efforts area polysaccharidephenolic interactions consequences human
