| Аннотация | Substances inhibiting or preventing oxidative damage in the target molecule
are called antioxidants. It has been shown that antioxidants are substances
that contribute to the prevention of a number of serious human diseases, and
antioxidant activity is one of the important parameters for the quality of food
products and ingredients. Phenolic compounds are of greatest importance
for this review. It is now established that whole grain cereals contain a large
number of bound polyphenols. It is known that cereals have high nutritional
value, contain unsaturated fatty acids, basic mineral elements, proteins and
β-glucans, and are also characterized by the presence of various chemical substances with antioxidant properties. In recent years, work has begun in some
Western countries to study the content of antioxidants in various grains. In Russia, only a small amount of work has been devoted to the study of these important chemical compounds in grain crops. It should be noted that, although
these species are considered to be one of the main components of human
nutrition, research in the field of determining their antioxidant activity has not
been sufficiently carried out. In order to attract the attention of plant growers,
plant breeders, plant physiologists, geneticists and biotechnologists, we offer a
review of current literature. |
