Abstract
Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic compound containing antioxidant property found in red wine, grapes, berries and peanuts. In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that trans-resveratrol is more effective in reducing platelet aggregation, improving endothelial function, inhibiting LDL oxidation and have antiatherogenic properties. However, clinical studies were not conducted nor reported on any beneficial effects on CHD in humans. Resveratrol supplements are available in U.S. markets and they may contain anywhere from 10-50 mg of resveratrol, but the effective doses for chronic disease prevention in humans are not known.

Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
