Review of dried fruits: Phytochemicals, antioxidant efficacies, and health benefits

Antihyperglycemic, antioxidant activities of two Acer palmatum cultivars, and identification of phenolics profile by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS: New natural sources of functional constituents

“…Tannins, phenolic acids, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids and steroids are generally considered as the major bioactive constituents in plants (Bueno et al, 2014;Sousa et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2016). Until now, enormous efforts have been performed to discover novel, safe and non-toxic plant sources or plant-derived natural compounds as alternative or complementary medicines for the treatment of various chronic diseases (Chang et al, 2016;Kumar et al, 2015). Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered one of the world's greatest health problems characterized by hyperglycemia.…”

Efecto Del Tiempo De Almacenamiento Sobre Propiedades Fisicoquímicas Y Antioxidantes De Productos Derivados Del Fruto Agraz (Vaccinium Meridionale Swartz)

“…Las frutas han despertado gran interés, porque además de contener alta cantidad de agua (entre un 80% y un 90% de su peso total); macronutrientes (proteí-nas, lípidos, carbohidratos entre 0 y 80% del peso seco) y micronutrientes (vitaminas y minerales) (5) contienen también, compuestos con actividad biológica, conocidos como compuestos bioactivos que además confieren aroma, color y sabor (6) y a su vez, tienen propiedades funcionales como la capacidad de prevenir enfermedades entre ellas algunos tipos de cáncer, problemas cardiovasculares y neurodegenerativos (2,3,7,8).…”

A Comprehensive review of raisins and raisin components and their relationship to human health

“…1 shows the total phenolic content of several fruits. 15 Chang et al 16 reviewed the phytochemical compositions, antioxidant efficacies, and potential health benefits of nine dried fruits. Of these, raisins contained the highest total phenolic count (2,414 mg AAE/100 g), followed by dried apricots, cranberries, peaches, figs, pears, and prunes.…”
