Abstract

This chapter describes the bioprocessing, health, and biotechnological applications of plant-derived polyphenolic compounds. Isolation of these compounds from plants and their by-products using conventional and greener emerging technologies, including sample preparation techniques, is highlighted. Routinely applied techniques for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of plant-based phenolics are reviewed. Also highlighted are emerging technologies and recent trends in the use of in silico “omic” techniques to aid screening and extraction of bioactive phenolic compounds from plants. We also include a discussion of the health-promoting bioactivity of plant-derived polyphenols and their incorporation into food products for human consumption.
