Biomass polyphenols are bio-active macromolecules with distinct chemical structures in a variety of biomass. In recent years, the study of biomass polyphenols and their application in food and medicine fields has become a research hotspot, which predominantly focuses on the preparation, purification, structural identifications, and measurements of biological activities. Many studies describe methodologies for extraction and application of polyphenols, but comprehensive work to review its physiological activities like drugs and health products are lacking. This paper comprehensively unlocks the bioactivities of antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor, anticancer, neuroprotection, control of blood sugar, regulation of blood fat, and promotion of gastrointestinal health functions of polyphenols from different biomass sources. This review will serve as an illuminating resource for the global scientific community, especially for those who are actively working to promote the advances of the polyphenols research field.
生物质多酚是存在于多种生物质中的具有独特化学结构的生物活性大分子。近年来，生物质多酚及其在食品和医药领域的应用研究已成为一个热点，主要集中在其制备、纯化、结构鉴定以及生物活性测定方面。许多研究描述了多酚的提取和应用方法，但缺乏像对药物和保健品那样全面综述其生理活性的工作。本文全面揭示了来自不同生物质来源的多酚的抗氧化、抗菌、抗肿瘤、抗癌、神经保护、控制血糖、调节血脂以及促进胃肠道健康功能等生物活性。这篇综述将为全球科学界提供有启发性的资源，特别是对于那些积极致力于推动多酚研究领域进展的人来说。
