Bioactivity
A new standard for food quality
Bioactivity is the capacity of a substance to interact with the human body and exert biological effects.
These substances
are derived from various sources:
Foods
Beverages
Aromatic plants
Herbs
They exhibit beneficial properties, such as:
Antioxidant
Anti-inflammatory
Antimicrobial
Anticancer
Antioxidant activity is a key measure of bioactivity. Antioxidants exert strong protective effects against free radicals — potentially harmful molecules that are generated:
Naturally as by-products of human metabolism
Under the impact of external factors, such as unbalanced diet, sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, exposure to environmental pollutants and chemicals
