Abstract

The biochemical features and biological function of dietary phenols, which are widespread in the plant kingdom, have been described in the present review. The ways of phenols classification, which were collected from literature based on structural and biochemical characteristics with description of source and possible effects on human, organisms and environment have been presented. The bioactivities of phenolic compounds described in literature are reviewed to illustrate their potential for the development of pharmaceutical and agricultural products.

 

Key words: Plant phenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids, cathecins, tannins, food industry.
