Comprehensive account on role of catechin based polyphenols in nanocomposite formulations

Ganesh Kumar, Nisha Sharma

Abstract


Antioxidants play a crucial role in wellness, health maintenance and the prevention of chronic and degenerative disease, in neuroprotection activities and protection against oxidative cellular damage by U.V. radiation. Polyphenols are secondary metabolites of plants usually involved in defense against ultraviolet radiation or aggression by pathogens. Antioxidant properties, free radical-scavenging abilities and antimicrobial properties of these polyphenols make them useful in the field of biomedical applications, used as food additives, as bio preservatives to improve the shelf life of perishable products. Polyphenols are progressively gaining popularity due their wide spectrum of biological activities when taken as a dietary input or as supplements. They are also used as antidiarrheal, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory as well as treatment of diseases such as hypertension, vascular fragility, and allergies. Catechins are easily available and extractable polyphenol which possess excellent antioxidant properties and are also able to inhibit lipid oxidation in red meat, poultry and fish .Present study is an insight to the unique properties and applications of Catechins derived from Acacia catechu. Present study is a brief account on catechin based nanocomposites for advanced applications.
