Abstract

Phenolic compounds occur in all fruits as a diverse group of secondary metabolites. Hence, they are a component of the human diet although data for dietary intakes and metabolic fate are limited. Their role in oxidation processes, as either antioxidants or substrates in browning reactions, is examined. They are characterised by high chemical reactivity and this complicates their analysis.
