A Review of Phytochemicals and Bioactive Properties in the Proteaceae family

Pharmacy

Due to unhealthful current dietary habits including the intake of foods heavy in sugar and fat, natural plant-based foods have been employed more and more in recent decades to promote human health. Aboriginal people have exploited several native animals for food and medicine. It is crucial to comprehend the health-promoting bioactive profile of native Australian plants. The horticultural and food industries have made commercial use of members of the Proteaceae family, including the genera of Protea, Macadamia, and Grevillea. Certain discoveries about the Persoonia species, a genus belonging to the Proteaceae family, have been documented by researchers. This review's objective was to present an overview of the genus Persoonia and the family Proteaceae, including topics such as distribution, phytochemicals, traditional and commercial usage, bioactive qualities, possible benefits, and difficulties. The present research examined bioactive chemicals and their characteristics associated with the health benefits of the Proteaceae family, specifically the Persoonia genus, with a view to exploring their possible uses in the food business.
