FRUITS PHYTOCHEMICALS: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THEIR NUTRACEUTICAL BENEFITS
AbstractPlants create bioactive substances called phytochemicals to defend themselves. Consuming phytochemicals including carotenoids, polyphenols, isoprenoids, phytosterols, saponins, dietary Fibers, polysaccharides, etc. has been linked to certain health outcomes, according to recent scientific research. This article lists a few of these well-known fruits, such as Persea americana, Selenicereus undatus, Morus, Psidium guajava, Mallus domestica, and Vaccinium macrocarpon, that may offer new sources of health-promoting substances. Additionally, this web page lists a few of these popular fruits that could deliver fresh supplies of substances that enhance health. A diet rich in fruits has been linked to a lower risk of noncommunicable diseases because they contain a variety of compounds that, in addition to vitamins and minerals, offer health-protective qualities. Many have therefore chosen to enhance their overall standard of life through increasing their fruit intake, taking dietary supplements or nutraceuticals, or using nutritional therapy or phytotherapy in place of prescription medications. The development of specific horticulture models for the production of nutritional fruits may offer an interesting opportunity to obtain an extremely standardized raw material for fresh or derived products. This article examines the function of phytochemicals in the diet and emphasizes how crucial it is for humanitarians to develop a habit of eating fruits from an early age.
