Abstract

In recent years, natural antioxidants are often investigate because of synthetic antioxidants have an adverse effect on human health. Scientific research in the food industry focused on the search for natural antioxidants that would be similarly effective to synthetic antioxidants. For this purpose, commonly known and used natural compounds (e.g. carotenoids), spices and herbs particularly rich in chemical compounds with strong antioxidant properties (e.g. rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano, garlic, cloves) as well as green tea extracts, fruit extracts (e.g. plums, apricots, cranberries) are used. The addition of natural polyphenols not only prolongs the durability of food products, but also protects the body against oxidative damage. Epidemiological studies show a correlation between the consumption of polyphenol-rich products and a reduction in the risk of developing civilization diseases, including heart diseases.
