A review on nutritional and medicinal value of malus domestica with various activity
Keywords:
malus domestica, anti-cancer, antidiabetic, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory activity, polyphenol, human healthAbstract
Apples (Malus Domestica) are among the oldest and most popular fruits in the world. China is currently the world's largest apple producer. While apples are mostly eaten fresh, they are processed into beverages, jams, jellies, and other foods. Polyphenols are the bioactive compounds and their stability, bioavailability, and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects are influenced by many factors. Eating apple and its processed products or extracts rich in polyphenols has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and many other diseases, although some of these require further confirmation. They're loaded with powerful antioxidants, including quercetin, catechins, phloricin, and chlorogenic acids, which protect against the onset of breast and colon cancer and help prevent kidney stones and balance cholesterol levels. Studies have found that people who eat at least two apples a week can reduce the risk of developing asthma and type 2 diabetes and promote lung health.
