They are possibly the most significant non-nutrient bioactive groups in the human diet because plants constitute a primary nutritional component in human diets, and phenolics are more numerous than other phytochemicals in plant diets [ 113 ]. Among the several possible health advantages of dietary polyphenols, their capacity to inhibit oxidation stands out.…”

“…Based on their chemical structure, the plant-derived antioxidants are classified as carotenoids, phenolics, alkaloids, nitrogen-containing compounds, and organosulfur compounds, along with the sterols, terpenes, fibre, and organoselenium compounds which are also distinguished in such a classification [ 113 ]. Flavonoids (such as flavonols, flavanols, flavones, and anthocyanins), phenolic acids (ellagic acid, caffeic acid), stilbenes (resveratrol), and lignans are just a few of the numerous substances that fall under the category of polyphenols.…”
