This review gives an updated picture of each class of phenolic compounds and their properties. The most common classification implies the subdivision of phenolics in two main groups: flavonoids (e.g., anthocyanins, flavanols, flavanones, flavonols, flavonones, and isoflavones) and non-flavonoids (e.g., phenolic acids, xanthones, stilbens, lignans, and tannins) polyphenols. The great interest in polyphenols is associated with their high potential application for food preservation and for therapeutic beneficial use. The relationship between polyphenol intake and human health has been exploited with special reference to cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and cancer. The use of current existing databases of bioactive compounds including polyphenols is described as key tools for human health research.
本综述介绍了每一类酚类化合物及其特性的最新情况。最常见的分类方法将酚类化合物分为两大类：类黄酮（例如，花青素、黄烷醇、黄烷酮、黄酮醇、黄酮和异黄酮）和非类黄酮（例如，酚酸、蒽酮、芪、木脂素和单宁）多酚。多酚的高潜在应用价值使其在食品保鲜和治疗有益用途方面引起了极大的关注。多酚的摄入量与人类健康之间的关系已被特别针对心血管疾病、高血压、糖尿病、代谢综合征、肥胖症和癌症进行了探讨。本文还描述了使用包括多酚在内的生物活性化合物的现有数据库，这是人类健康研究的关键工具。
