Canolol is a decarboxylated derivative of sinapic acid. Due to lipophilic nature, canolol is an excellent orally bioavailable phenol. It mainly occurs in roasted rapeseeds. It is documented in the literature as a potent antioxidant and safe for human health. The mode of antioxidant activity of canolol involves the suppression of various free radicals such as 02, ONOO and 'OOH. As evident from the literature, few studies have been carried out to explore the free radical scavenging activity of canolol. Thus, the objective of this review article is to summarize the available literature about free radical scavenging potential of this promising phenol to pave the path for further investigations about biological activities of canolol.
