fenolikkeiden
Fenolikkeiden, also known as phenolic compounds, are a class of organic compounds that are widely distributed in plants. They are characterized by the presence of one or more hydroxyl groups (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. These compounds play a crucial role in plant defense mechanisms, acting as antioxidants and protecting plants from environmental stressors such as UV radiation, pathogens, and herbivores.
Fenolikkeiden are classified into several subclasses based on their structural features, including simple phenols, phenolic acids,
The biological activities of fenolikkeiden are diverse and include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. They
Fenolikkeiden are found in a wide variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and beverages. They
