In this review, we present a summary of the research work performed so far using high
accuracy quantum chemical methods on polyphenolic antioxidant compounds. We have …

Proanthocyanidins (syn condensed tannins) are complex flavonoid polymers naturally
present in cereals, legume seeds and particularly abundant in some fruits and fruit juices …

A method for the screening of antioxidant activity is reported as a decolorization assay
applicable to both lipophilic and hydrophilic antioxidants, including flavonoids …

The relationship between the structure of 42 flavonoids and their antioxidant and antiradical
activities was elucidated by heat-induced oxidation in a β-carotene and linoleic acid system …

The metal chelating properties of flavonoids suggest that they may play a role in metal-
overload diseases and in all oxidative stress conditions involving a transition metal ion. A …

Los flavonoides son compuestos fenólicos constituyentes de la parte no energética de la
dieta humana. Se encuentran en vegetales, semillas, frutas y en bebidas como vino y …

Recent studies are emphasising the importance and putative modes of action of specific
flavonoids as bioactive components of the diet in in vivo and in vitro models. Thus, it is …

Polyphenols are the most abundant antioxidants in the human diet. They show a
considerable structural diversity, which largely influences their bioavailability. Phenolic acids …

The present work is devoted to studies of the radical scavenging properties of lignins, which
are recognized as efficient antioxidants of natural origin. Radical scavenging efficiency of a …

In recent years there has been a remarkable increment in scientific articles dealing with
oxidative stress. Several reasons justify this trend: knowledge about reactive oxygen and …
