| Title: | Dietary Phenolics & Health Matters |
| Authors: | Director Academic Planning, Ganiyu Oboh (PhD, MNYAS) |
| Keywords: | Back in 400 B.C., the Greek physician Hippocrates said, "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food." Today, good nutrition is more important than ever. At least four of the 10 leading causes of death (heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes) are directly related to the way we eat.
Phenolics are secondary metabolites of plants
Phenolics are formed from the essential amino acid, phenylalanine, thru the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway
Phenolic compounds constitute a very diverse group: more than 4,000 have been identified. |
