The Philippines' Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Product Standards (Filipino: Kawanihan ng mga Pamantayan sa Produktong Pansaka at Pampangisdaan, abbreviated as BAFS), is an agency of the Philippine government under the Department of Agriculture responsible for setting and implementing standards for fresh primary and secondary processed agricultural and fishery products.
Herbs and spices, nuts and algae are also potentially significant for supplying certain polyphenols. Some polyphenols are specific to particular food (flavanones in citrus fruit, isoflavones in soya, phloridzin in apples); whereas others, such as quercetin, are found in all plant products such as fruit, vegetables, cereals, leguminous plants ...
Spices, herbs, and essential oils are rich in polyphenols in the plant itself and shown with antioxidant potential in vitro. Red wine is high in total polyphenol count which supplies antioxidant quality which is unlikely to be conserved following digestion (see section below).
Herbs and spices, nuts (walnuts, peanut) and algae are also potentially significant for supplying certain natural phenols. Natural phenols can also be found in fatty matrices like olive oil. [101] Unfiltered olive oil has the higher levels of phenols, or polar phenols that form a complex phenol-protein complex.
Phenolic compounds are classified as simple phenols or polyphenols based on the number of phenol units in the molecule. Phenol – the simplest of the phenols Chemical structure of salicylic acid, the active metabolite of aspirin. Phenols are both synthesized industrially and produced by plants and microorganisms. [2]
Furthermore, flavonoids can be found in plants in glycoside-bound and free aglycone forms. The glycoside-bound form is the most common flavone and flavonol form consumed in the diet. [1] A biochemical diagram showing the class of flavonoids and their source in nature through various inter-related plant species.
The main source of polyphenols is dietary, since they are found in a wide array of phytochemical-bearing foods.For example, honey; most legumes; fruits such as apples, blackberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, pomegranate, cherries, cranberries, grapes, pears, plums, raspberries, aronia berries, and strawberries (berries in general have high polyphenol content [5]) and vegetables such as broccoli ...
The Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PHilMech), formerly known as the National Postharvest Institute for Research and Extension (NAPHIRE) and the Bureau of Postharvest Research and Extension, is a bureau of the Department of Agriculture of the Philippines.
