Abstract
A group of secondry metabolites are encorporated with the phenolic compounds having the significant functions in plants. Phenolic metabolites also exhibits a number of biological properties that promotes the human health along with the beneficial effects on the plants. It is evidentiary proven that people gets the benefit from the phenolic compounds of plant in reference with the diet or skin applications because of its property of inhibiting the development of many chronic diseases and skin disorders. Phenolic compounds are regarded as an aid in elimination of causes and symptoms of aging, skin damage (wounds and burns) and several diseases as they are less toxic. In this review, it is tried to discuss about the role of phenolic compounds in disease prevention and in human health with phenolic compounds treatments. Keywords: Phenolic Compounds, Anti-Aging Properties, Skin Diseases, Antioxidant
Introduction
In past few years, the area of prevention of disease with phenolic compounds is very much developed and plays an important role in controlling different human diseases and in anti aging. Skin is regarded as the First Line of defence, it acts as a barrier against any kind of foreign invader. It also maintains homeostasis of the body. Any types of disease or disorder of such an important organ or body part is a serious risk to person or his life. Phenolic compounds is very effective with reference to the skin disorders or diseases as it dicreases the skin disorder symptoms and have been published in many research papers. Since, Phenolic compounds participates in the morphological development, physiological processes and reprodunction, therefore it is the most significant group of plant secondry metabolites. Molecular structure of the phenolics have broad spectrum of biological properties. At least one phenol ring forms the main core of phenolic compounds where more volatile residue like hydroxyl, methyl or acetyl replace hydrogen. In plants, these phenolic compounds conain more than one phenolic ring and known as polyphenols.
The flavonoids and non flavonoid compounds are classified under the most common classification of phenolic metabolites.
