Resumo
Berries are rich in bioactive compounds, such as vitamins, fiber, macro and microelements and have
high content of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites. The consumption of a diet rich in
polyphenols has in epidemiological studies been associated with a lower incidence of degenerative
diseases including cancer, cardiovascular and other diseases. The preventive effects are often
attributed, in part, to phenolic compounds and suggested to be due to their antioxidant, and antiinflammatory effects as well as other beneficial effects. This review describes the effect of cultivation
methods and environmental factors on the composition and content of phenolic compounds in some
berries. Methods for extraction and analyses of phenolic compounds and reported potential
mechanisms of action through which polyphenol compounds may exert protective actions are also
reviewed.
