- Phytochemical is a more
recent evolution of the term that emphasizes the plant source of most of
these protective, disease-preventing compounds. A true nutritional role
for phytochemicals is becoming more probable every day as research
uncovers more of their remarkable benefits. In fact, the term
phytonutrient better describes the compounds' "quasi-nutrient" status.
Someday, phytochemicals may indeed be classified as essential
nutrients.
- Phytochemicals are
non-nutritive plant chemicals that have protective or disease preventive
properties. There are more than thousand known phytochemicals. It is
well-known that plant produce these chemicals to protect itself but
recent research demonstrate that they can protect humans against
diseases. Some of the well-known phytochemicals are lycopene in
tomatoes, isoflavones in soy and flavanoids in fruits. They are not
essential nutrients and are not required by the human body for
sustaining life.
- The phytochemical
analysis of the extract both by qualitative and thin layer
chromatography showed the presence of phenols, alkaloids, triterpenoids,
steroids and carboxylic acids.
- The constituents
like triterpenoids and alkaloids of the noni may play a major role in
the process of wound healing, however; further phytochemical studies are
needed to find out the active compound(s) responsible for wound healing
promoting activity.
- An author found
through trial and error that only one glandular trichome exhibits the
phytochemical process that will produce the amount of THC associated
with pain relief, appetite stimulation and anti-nausea; euphoria and
hallucinations are undesirable side-effects, however.
- Phytochemicals with
antioxidant properties tend to be brightly colored because they contain
chromophores, ie, a series of alternating single-bonded and
double-bonded carbons. Isoprene is often the building block of such
units. The darkest green vegetables contain the most chlorophyll, and
vegetables with the most chlorophyll require the most antioxidants.
Green will mask the other colors, when other-colored antioxidant
phytochemicals are present.
- Many phytochemicals
have an anti-carcinogenic (anti-cancer) action by: slowing cell
proliferation (division) by interfering with the cell cycle, inducing
apoptosis (cell suicide), inhibiting phase 1 enzymes (enzymes that
convert harmless substances into carcinogens), inducing phase 2 enzymes
(enzymes that can attach carcinogens to molecules that facilitate speedy
excretion).
- Foods containing
phytochemicals are already part of our daily diet. In fact, most foods
contain phytochemicals except for some refined foods such as sugar or
alcohol. Some foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, beans, fruits and
herbs, contain many phytochemicals. The easiest way to get more
phytochemicals is to eat more fruit (blueberries, cranberries, cherries,
apple,...) and vegetables (cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, broccoli,...).
It is recommended take daily at least 5 to 9 servings of fruits or
vegetable. Fruits and vegetables are also rich in minerals, vitamins and
fibre and low in saturated fat.
- The most recent
research links the intake of phytochemicals with anti-cancer properties.
Many studies have documented a relationship between a diet high in
fruits and vegetables with a reduced incidence of certain cancers. The
phytochemicals have an antioxidant effect in that they may help the body
fight diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
- The global herbal
market is valued at USD 70 billion for nutraceuticals and USD 20 billion
for phytomedicines with an average annual growth rate between 15 to 20%.
- The distribution and
composition of phenolic phytochemicals are affected by a number of
factors: cultivar, fruit part, growing season, environmental conditions,
horticultural practices, geographic origin, postharvest storage
conditions and processing procedures
- Some supplement
manufacturers, however, have been considerably quicker to market the
benefits of phytochemicals. A few are claiming to offer the advantages
of several servings of fruits or vegetables within a very concentrated
form.
