It is well known that a reasonable diet and lifestyle are essential to maintain health and prevent disease. Foods based on plants (such as fruits, tea, coffee, vegetables, grains, and chocolate) are rich in polyphenols and have been widely studied. The total dietary intake of polyphenols for adults can be as high as 1g/d, which is much higher than the sum of other kinds of phytochemicals. However, its impact on health has not attracted the attention of nutritionists until recent years. At present, it has been proved that some polyphenols, taken as supplements or together with food, can indeed improve the health status of patients with cardiovascular diseases. In addition, many studies from in vitro or animal experiments show that long-term consumption of a diet rich in polyphenols can prevent some cancers, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and the degradation of brain function.
This research topic plans to cover the research on polyphenols in plant food and their relationship with human health. Welcome to publish papers on the presence, concentration, efficient extraction, separation, and purification of polyphenols in food based on modern technology or new methods.
• Screening of effective components of food polyphenols;
• New, green, and efficient technology for extracting polyphenols from food;
• Purification of polyphenols in food.
