Phenolic Component Analysis

Phenolic compounds are plant substances that have one or more hydroxyl groups in common and an aromatic ring. Phenolic compounds are accepted as a good choice against chronic degenerative diseases.

Phenolic compounds are a group of metabolites derived from plants via their secondary pathways. Phenolic acids, tannins, lignans and coumarins include compounds found naturally in fruits, vegetables, grains, roots and leaves as well as other plant products. Recent studies reveal the potential health benefits of phenolic compounds as antioxidants against oxidative stress diseases.

Organic solvent extraction is the main method used to extract phenolics. Chemical methods are used to detect the presence of total phenolics. Spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods are used to identify and quantify individual phenolic compounds.

Plant-based foods, prevent heart disease, slow aging, It is important to reduce inflammation, reduce the incidence of cancer and prevent diabetes. The protective effect provided by the consumption of plant products such as fruits, vegetables and legumes is mostly related to the presence of phenolic compounds.

Phenolic compounds are synthesized in plants in part in response to ecological and physiological stresses such as pathogen and insect attack, ultraviolet radiation, and injury. Plant phenolic compounds are grouped as simple phenols or polyphenols according to the number of phenol units in the molecule. Therefore, plant phenolics include simple phenols, coumarins, lignins, lignans, dense and hydrolyzable tannins, phenolic acids and flavonoids.

Isolated or vitamin-related phenolic and polyphenolic compounds, such as vitamin E and vitamin C, are reducing agents that protect specific tissues of the human body against oxidative stress. However, polyphenols are the most abundant antioxidants in diets based on fruits and vegetables.

When categorized according to their mode of occurrence, phenolic compounds are mainly found in the plant kingdom in either a soluble or bound form. Most of the soluble phenolic compounds are synthesized and stored inside the cells of plants. However, bound phenolic compounds are formed by the transport of soluble phenolic compounds to the cell wall.
