Numerous health benefits have been attributed in the last decades to the regular consumption of fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices, along with honey, in a balanced diet. In this context, the aim of the present review was to provide the literature with the most relevant studies focusing on the determination protocols of these polyphenols and other reducing agents in selected fruits (orange, lemon, grapefruit, prunus, apricot, peach, plum, sweet cherry), spices (oregano, cinnamon, clove, saffron, turmeric) and honey of different botanical origin (nectar or honeydew). In addition, the content and the extraction methods of these compounds, along with their metabolic pathway, have been critically evaluated and discussed. Results showed that all fruits, spices and honey exhibit a considerably high antioxidant activity, which is mainly owed to their phytochemical content. Therefore, a balanced diet consisting of the combination of the foods studied herein may comprise a shield against chronic and other pathophysiological disorders and may be achieved through consecutive educational programs for consumers at an international level.
在过去几十年里，均衡饮食中经常食用水果、蔬菜、草药、香料以及蜂蜜，被认为对健康有诸多益处。在此背景下，本综述的目的是为文献提供最相关的研究，这些研究聚焦于选定水果（橙子、柠檬、葡萄柚、李属、杏、桃、李子、甜樱桃）、香料（牛至、肉桂、丁香、藏红花、姜黄）以及不同植物来源（花蜜或蜜露）的蜂蜜中这些多酚和其他还原剂的测定方法。此外，对这些化合物的含量、提取方法及其代谢途径进行了批判性评估和讨论。结果表明，所有水果、香料和蜂蜜都表现出相当高的抗氧化活性，这主要归因于它们的植物化学成分。因此，由本文所研究的食物组合而成的均衡饮食可能构成抵御慢性和其他病理生理疾病的屏障，并且可以通过在国际层面为消费者开展连续的教育项目来实现。
