Abstract

Antioxidants sourced from nature play a pivotal role in maintaining human health. Enzymatic antioxidants like catalase and peroxidase, alongside high-molecular-weight non-enzymatic antioxidants such as albumin and ferritin, bolster cellular defense mechanisms. Phenolic compounds, plentiful in plants, act as antioxidants and fall into different categories like phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, lignans, and lignin. These compounds showcase antioxidant prowess by neutralizing free radicals and binding metals, with their efficacy influenced by structural nuances and environmental factors. Moreover, flavonoids, tannins, lignans, diterpenes, and carotenoids stand out for their antioxidant prowess. Carotenoids like lycopene, present in tomatoes, display notable antioxidant potency, contributing to health advantages like mitigated disease risks. Additionally, tocopherols (vitamin E) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) demonstrate antioxidant properties, shielding against lipid oxidation and providing supplementary health perks. The diverse range of natural antioxidants found in plants underscores their significance in fostering health and combating ailments linked to oxidative stress.
