Phenolic compounds are well-known bioactive compounds in plants that can have a protective role against cancers, cardiovascular diseases and many other diseases. To promote local food development, a comprehensive overview of the phenolic compounds' composition and their impact on human health from typical Mediterranean plants such as L., Mill., L., L., L., var. L. is provided. Moreover, the potential use of these data for authenticity determination is discussed. Some of the plants' phenolic compounds and their impact to human health are very well determined, while for others, the data are scarce. However, in all cases, more data should be available about the content, profile and health impacts due to a high variation of phenolic compounds depending on genetic and environmental factors. Quantifying variation in phenolic compounds in plants relative to genetic and environmental factors could be a useful tool in food authentication control. More comprehensive studies should be conducted to better understand the importance of phenolic compounds on human health and their variation in certain plants.
酚类化合物是植物中一类众所周知的具有生物活性的化合物，它们对癌症、心血管疾病和许多其他疾病具有保护作用。为了促进当地食品的发展，本文全面概述了来自典型地中海植物（如 L.、 Mill.、 L.、 L.、 L.、 var. L.）的酚类化合物的组成及其对人类健康的影响。此外，还讨论了这些数据在真实性鉴定中的潜在用途。一些植物的酚类化合物及其对人类健康的影响已经得到了很好的确定，而对于其他植物，则数据稀缺。然而，在所有情况下，由于酚类化合物的含量、分布和健康影响都取决于遗传和环境因素，因此应该有更多关于这些植物的含量、分布和健康影响的数据。定量分析植物中酚类化合物与遗传和环境因素的变化可能是食品真实性鉴定控制的有用工具。应该进行更全面的研究，以更好地了解酚类化合物对人类健康的重要性及其在某些植物中的变化。
