Dried Fruits are an Important Component of Diet Therapy
https://doi.org/10.15690/pf.v21i5.2789
Abstract
Dried fruits contain a large number of biologically active compounds, including phenolic compounds, flavonoids, carotenoids, phytoestrogens, etc. These compounds have an antioxidant effect, which has great health benefits. Dried fruits also have a high fiber content. Evaluation of the bioavailability and biological properties of biologically active compounds can contribute to understanding the health effects of dried fruits. A number of studies indicate the beneficial effect of eating dried fruits on the state of the intestinal microbiota. Further research is needed to better understand the health effects of dried fruits and their underlying biological mechanisms.
