Many consumers have become more aware of the health benefits of antioxidants, phytochemical-rich fruits and vegetables, and products that contain these. In 1997, GFJ was purchased by 21%i of all households as a... 

According to the current, still limited knowledge, responsible recommendations should be communicated effectively to health care personnel and patients. Here care must be taken to avoid careless prescription of susceptible drugs without unnecessary overreaction leading to complete avoidance of citrus products, because these contain significant amounts of antioxidant phytochemicals with significant health benefits. 

Sea animals are rich in soluble dietary fibers, proteins, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, with low caloric value. Polysaccharides from marine animals have been reported to possess biological activities with potential medicinal values in addition to their current status as a source of dietary fibers and prebiotics. Moreover, they have a lot of dietary fiber, which lowers blood cholesterol, and iodine, which improves metabolism, vascular and cardiac action, body temperature, and perspiration regulation, and are effective in...

A variety of antioxidant phytochemicals in apples include catechin, procyanidins, hydroxyciimamates, flavonols, anthocyanins, and dihy-drochalcones. The consumption of apple contributes to the reduced risk of diseases such as cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer (Boyer and Liu, 2004). In a recent study, the phenolic phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of 67 varieties of apple cultivars were examined by Wojdylo et al. (2008). The total content of these phytochemicals varied from 0.5 to 2.7% of dry weight. In apple juice, the total phenolic content ranged from 0.02 to 0.1% of juice. Catechin and procyanidins are the major classes of apple phenolics, representing more than 80% of the total content. A small amount of anthocyanin was also found in red apples. The results of this study demonstrated that new varieties of apple, such as Ozark Gold, Julyred, and Jester, had the same... 

Peppers are rich in vitamins C and E, provitamin A, and carotenoids (Materska and Perucka, 2005). Peppers also contain various antioxidant phytochemicals, such as ferulic and sinapic acids, quercetins, luteolins, and apigenins (Marin et ah, 2004 Materska and Perucka, 2005).
