Abstract
Bioactive compounds in food plants have garnered significant attention due to their potential health benefits and pharmaceutical applications. This review paper provides an extensive examination of the types and chemical characterization of bioactive compounds found in food plants. The review covers polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, and glycosides, among others. Various methods of
chemical characterization, including chromatography and spectroscopy techniques, are discussed in detail. The pharmaceutical effects of these bioactive compounds, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, cardiovascular, and neuroprotective properties, are explored
