Definition
Plant-derived bioactive compounds are naturally occurring chemical substances found in plants that have biological activity. These compounds are secondary metabolites, which means they are not directly involved in the growth, development, or reproduction of plants
Biological activity
These compounds can neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease
