Bio Active Constituents of Food

Bioactive compounds are defined as components of food that have an impact on physiological or cellular activities in the humans or animals that consume such compounds. Bioactive compounds are experiencing a growing interest in wide range of applications: geo-medicine, plant science, modern pharmacology, agrochemicals, cosmetics, food industry, Nano-bio-science... etc. This is a very promising area in full development, which has resulted in research works more and more numerous, designed to diversify the resources of bioactive compounds and improve their salvage pathways or synthesis.
