Analytical methods for exploring nutraceuticals based on phenolic acids and polyphenols

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Phenolic compounds such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and stilbenes comprise an enormous family of bioactive molecules with a range of positive properties, including antioxidant, antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory effects. As a result, plant extracts are often purified to recover phenolic com-pound enriched fractions to be used to develop nutraceutical products or dietary supplements. In this article, we review the properties of some remarkable plant-based nutraceuticals in which the active molecules are mainly polyphenols and related compounds. Methods for the characterization of these extracts, the chemical determination of the bioactivities of key molecules, and the principal applications of the resulting products will be discussed in detail.
