We edited this Special Issue with the objective of bringing forth new data on the phytochemicals from vegetables and fruits, which are recommended for their health-promoting properties. Epidemiological, toxicological and nutritional studies suggested an association between fruit and vegetable consumption and lower incidence of chronic diseases, such as coronary heart problems, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. In this Special Issue, the protective roles (antioxidant and others bioactivities), new sustainable approaches to determine the quality, and the processing techniques that can modify the initial nutritional and antioxidant content of fruits, vegetables and additives have been addressed.
我们编辑本期特刊的目的是呈现有关蔬菜和水果中植物化学物质的新数据,这些植物化学物质因其促进健康的特性而受到推荐。流行病学、毒理学和营养研究表明,食用水果和蔬菜与降低慢性疾病(如冠心病、癌症、糖尿病和阿尔茨海默病)的发病率之间存在关联。在本期特刊中,探讨了(抗氧化和其他生物活性等)保护作用、确定质量的新可持续方法以及可改变水果、蔬菜和添加剂初始营养和抗氧化成分的加工技术。
