Therapeutic Properties of Vegetable

Abstract

In presence of solar energy, vegetables synthesize basic compounds necessary for their survival (carbohydrates, lipids and proteins) and a variety of organic pharmacodynamic compounds which can be extracted as raw materials, having important applications in dermatology, cosmetics, medicine, technology and commerce. Vegetables are low in calories but rich in vitamins and are essential for body balance.

1H and13C NMR data on natural and synthetic capsaicinoids

“…Approximately 25 different natural capsaicinoids have been found in Capsicum fruits; however, capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin, nonivamide, homocapsaicin, and homodihydrocapsaicin are the most abundant, with capsaicin being the main and major component. Studies on different aspects, such as their chemistry, occurrence, biosynthetic role in plants, and biological activities have been previously published …”

Pathways Affected by Falcarinol-Type Polyacetylenes and Implications for Their Anti-Inflammatory Function and Potential in Cancer Chemoprevention

“…Carrot is a rich source of the vitamin A precursor β-carotene and also provides some potentially beneficial dietary fibre. Carrot also contains other potentially bioactive phytochemicals including carotenoids, phenolics, PAs, isocoumarins, terpenes and sesquiterpenes, many of which have been extensively investigated for potential therapeutic properties against a wide range of diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, anaemia, colitis, ocular diseases and obesity [ 7 ]. Ginseng is also rich in PAs; in addition to FaOH (also called panaxynol), they include panaxydiol and panaxydol ( Figure 1 ) [ 8 ], which have similar properties to FaOH [ 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”
