In general, the substances that plants synthesize for their survival, such as terpenoids and phenolics, are called secondary metabolites. It is known that those with biological activities from these components play an important role in human health. There are over 8000 phytochemicals known as secondary metabolites in plants. The most abundant of these are phenolics, flavonoids, carotenoids, folates, and anthocyanins. Polyphenols are the most important antioxidant compounds (Mikail et al., 2022). Additionally, phenolics are responsible for
