Non-extractable polyphenols or macroantioxidants: Recent Advances and Perspectives
Dr Fulgencio Saura-Calixto, from ICTAN-CSIC, Madrid, Spain will give an overview of recent advances & perspectives of non-extractable polyphenols and macroantioxidants during the 8th World Congress on Polyphenols Applications 2014.
Non-extractable polyphenols (NEPP) or macroantioxidants are a new type of antioxidants bioavailable in the large intestine where they exhibit a significant antioxidant activity and produce absorbable metabolites after the action of the microbiota. They are plant food constituents that contribute significantly to the total PP intake in the diet.

Ana Sanches Silva from National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge, Portugal, "Natural antioxidants, including polyphenols, not related with possible toxicological side-effects as artificial molecules, are being used in active packaging in order to extend the shelf-life of foodstuffs and reduce the addition of antioxidants directly to the food."
This presentation reviews some of the antioxidants that have been incorporated into food packaging, namely α-tocopherol, caffeic acid, catechin, quercetin, carvacrol and plant extracts (e.g. rosemary extract).
