Many scientists of different research fields have lavished great effort both to characterize the bioactive compounds’ compositions and to deepen understanding regarding the mechanisms of action through which fruits and vegetables exert their health-promoting and/or disease-preventing properties. In this book, studies on the bioactive compounds’ composition of the main fruit and vegetable species, on their health effects as fresh-consumed, transformed products or applied in in vitro models, and on their mechanisms of actions against human pathologies are presented.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicsscABTSbioactive compoundsDPPHflavonoidsgenetic distancegenotypic and phenotypic correlationnutraceutical valuephenolicsUPGMAapricotmethyl jasmonatesalicylic acidantioxidant propertyenzyme activitypostharvest qualityelderberryreishirespiratory tract infectionscommon coldinfluenza-like illnessrespiratory infection symptomsrandomized controlled trialagrobiodiversityantioxidant activityhealth benefitsmedicinal propertiesMediterranean dietmarket food trendssustainabilitywild edible greensorganic farmingconventional farmingtrace elementsheavy metalsrisk assessmentanthocyaninsFragaria × ananassalatitudetemperatureglobal radiationcultivar × environmental interactionphytochemical compoundsantioxidant capacityBrassica spp.vegetablescultivation techniquesglucosinolatesappleroyal galapink ladyred delicioussmittenfujiphenolic compoundsLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MSHPLCgarlicAllium sativumthiosulfinateallicinsepsisimmunomodulationinterleukinsratshydroxytyrosololive extractolive polyphenolsgrape extractoleuropeinF2-isoprostanesAGEsGynura bicolorprediabetesphytochemicalblood glucoseoxidative stressResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesTechnology, engineering, agricultureMazzoni Lucaedt1302757Fernández Maria Teresa ArizaedtCapocasa FrancoedtMazzoni LucaothFernández Maria Teresa ArizaothCapocasa FrancoothBOOK9910557572403321Potential Health Benefits of Fruits and Vegetables3026520UNINA
