flawonoidowym

Flawonoidowym is the instrumental singular form of the Polish adjective flawonoidowy, meaning related to flavonoids. Flavonoids are a broad and diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, polyphenolic compounds with a characteristic carbon skeleton built from two phenyl rings and a central heterocyclic ring (commonly described as a C6-C3-C6 structure). They are widely distributed in fruits, vegetables, grains, and beverages such as tea and wine, and contribute to the color and UV protection of plants.

In Polish scientific usage, flawonoidowy describes objects, substances, or processes associated with flavonoids. This adjective appears in terms like związek flawonoidowy (a flavonoid compound) or ścieżka flawonoidowa (a flavonoid biosynthetic pathway). Grammatically, flawonoidowy follows standard Polish adjective inflection: flawonoidowy (masculine singular nominative), flawonoidowa (feminine), flawonoidowe (neuter or plural), with instrumental singular forms such as flawonoidowym and corresponding plural forms in other cases. The form flawonoidowym specifically marks masculine/neuter nouns in the instrumental case.

Etymology traces flawonoidowy to flavonoid, a name derived from flavus (Latin for yellow) reflecting the color-bearing pigments many flavonoids impart to plants. In nutrition and pharmacology, flavonoids are studied for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential health-related effects, though outcomes depend on the specific compound, dose, and context.

Overall, flawonoidowym functions as a linguistic indicator within Polish to denote relations to flavonoids in scientific and technical writing.
