Polyphenols in Fruits and Vegetables: Bioactive Compounds Pioneering New Therapeutic Frontiers
Professor Patil will talk about "Polyphenols in Fruits and Vegetables: Bioactive Compounds Pioneering New Therapeutic Frontiers" at our 18th World Congress on Polyphenols Applications 2025 wich will be held in Malta on 2-3 October.
About his talk
Polyphenols present in fruits and vegetables have a crucial function in disease prevention, particularly cancer, by demonstrating high antioxidant properties, regulating enzymatic pathways, regulating cellular signaling, promoting apoptosis while reducing chronic inflammation. their findings also emphasize the relevance of bioavailability in achieving these health benefits. Strategies include employing specific edible matrices or novel food processing techniques improve polyphenol absorption in the body.
Furthermore, their research demonstrated that polyphenols could improve phase II detoxification enzymes, which help to neutralize carcinogens and assist chemoprevention. Polyphenolic compounds also improve intestinal health by promoting a healthy microbiota and nutrient absorption. To enhance the therapeutic potential of bioactive hydrophobic phenolics such as eugenol and limonene, innovative encapsulating strategies have been explored. These techniques attempt to avoid degradation and increase bioavailability of polyphenols, hence improving their function in health promotion and disease prevention.
