Anthocyanins as components of functional food for cardiovascular risk prevention
Epidemiologic studies suggest that the regular consumption of polyphenols, secondary metabolites of plants, is correlated with a decrease of the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis and cancer. The most abundant flavonoid constituents of plants are anthocyanins – water-soluble, glycos...
