TL;DR: This paper aims to give a reliable overview of the chemical classification of natural polyphenols, which can be simply classified into flavonoids and non-flavonoids, or be subdivided in many sub-classes depending on the number of phenol units within their molecular structure, substituent groups, and/or the linkage type between Phenol units.

TL;DR: The procedure used in this study is suitable for detection of mycotoxins at very low concentration and allow considering all tested food samples as fit for human consumption if compared with the labeled regulatory limit of allowed aflatoxins in the European Union.

TL;DR: Phenolic compounds exert different biological functions, such as antioxidant activity, modulation of detoxifying enzymes, stimulation of the immune system, reduction of platelet aggregation, modulation and reduction of blood pressure, and anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal activities.

TL;DR: Medicinal herbs have interesting health properties against digestive problems, parasitic worms, liver diseases, diabetes, skin problems, nervous, cardiocirculatory, and respiratory diseases and should be evaluated in the geographical ambit of the Mediterranean Basin.

TL;DR: Results indicate that treatment with aqueous extract of ginger may be effective in lowering hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in diabetic rats.
