A Scientific Review on Polyphenols Found in Different Fruits in India and Their Health Impact on Humans
Polyphenols are phytochemicals found in various plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts. They have been associated with numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic effects. In India, understanding the polyphenol content of seasonal fruits is essential due to the potential health benefits associated with their consumption. Several studies have analyzed the polyphenol content of various fruits, such as grapes, guavas, mangoes, pomegranates, and amla. The results have shown that the polyphenol content varies among fruits depending on factors such as ripeness, growing conditions, and method of extraction. A diet rich in polyphenols has been suggested to help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, identifying the polyphenol content of seasonal fruits in India can aid in promoting healthier food choices and potentially preventing chronic diseases
