TL;DR: Phenolic composition and relative antioxidant activity were investigated in six varieties of sorghum including pigmented and non-pigmented pericarp varieties in this paper, and the results showed that the black Pericarp variety Shawaya short black 1 and the brown Pericarm variety IS11316 had the highest total phenolic content (TPC) and total proanthocyanidin content (TPAC), consequently resulting in overall high antioxidant activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors profile the polyphenol composition and antioxidant activity of 8 Australian-grown rice varieties using UHPLC with an online ABTS system and assess the synergistic antioxidant activity using the ferric reducing ability of plasma assay.

TL;DR: Polyphenol characterization of Australian grown barley varieties demonstrated that they have significant antioxidant activity, hence, promoting the value of whole grain barley as a potential functional food ingredient.

TL;DR: A review of in vivo studies that support the hypothesis that pulse consumption may inhibit cancer development highlights the potential benefit of a diet rich in pulse bioactive compounds by exploring the anti-cancer properties of its polyphenols, proteins and short chain fatty acids.

TL;DR: Phenolic compounds present in cereals such as pigmented rice and sorghum may suppress cancer cell proliferation through the activation of the apoptosis.
