Module of Phytonutrients of Therapeutic and Nutritional Interest covers 10 chapters.
About the module:
Most phytonutrients are known to be powerful antioxidants, which help to combat oxidative stress, certain diseases and premature ageing. In addition to their antioxidant properties, phytonutrients have a beneficial effect on health, particularly in terms of the immune, hormonal, nervous, cardiovascular and vision systems. They may also act as bacterial or antiviral agents, helping to limit infections.

Phytonutrients have gustatory and visual functions. In fact, some also have a pigmentary action, giving plants their various colours. The red colour of tomatoes is the result of lycopene, while the orange colour of carrots comes from β-carotene. They can also play a role in taste, as in the case of flavonoids, which are responsible for the bitterness of grapefruit, while tannins are responsible for the astringency of certain fruits such as grape skins and seeds.
