Abstract
Several categories of physiologically active components from plant and animal sources are described. These include phytochemicals such as terpenes, carotenoids, limonoids, saponins, chromanols, polyphenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids, lignans, phytosterols, stilbenes and organsulfur compounds. Among zoochemicals the importance of omega-3-fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid, probiotics and prebiotics in human diet is also highlighted. The chapter also decribes several dietary supplement categories (vitamins, minerals, hormones, cartilage) and provides a list of most used herbal supplements with health implications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
