Abstract

Agricultural bioactive compounds are natural constituents of food and plants that have gained attention for their potential health benefits. It involves the multifaceted biological effects of agricultural bioactive compounds, encompassing their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and cardioprotective properties. We examine the underlying biochemical mechanisms, highlight recent research, and discuss the implications for human health and disease prevention.
