Abstract:
Fruits are largely consumed throughout the world; they are not only the sources of energy, but also rich in the sources of nutritive compounds, carotenoids, polyphenols, organic acids etc. Fruits provide an optimal mixture of antioxidants such as vitamins, polyphenols, carotenoids along with complex carbohydrate, protein, fat and fiber. Bioactive compounds are molecules with therapeutic potential and have a positive effect on human health and could reduce the risk of numerous chronic diseases. Bioactive compounds are capable of modulating metabolic processes and possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, anticancer, analgesic and hepatoprotective properties both in vivo and In vitro. Epidemiological information substantiates that higher the consumption of fruits, lowers the risk of chronic diseases and fosters good health in humans. The following is a review on Elaeagnus conferta roxburgh fruits prospective reserves of bioactive compounds and their effect on human health.
