Abstract

Vegetables are a crucial part of the human diet and a significant source of physiologically active nutraceuticals. Due to their safety, effectiveness, possible nutritional value, and therapeutic effects, they have attracted a lot of attention in the diet world. Customers are expressing a desire for wholesome food items made with natural, health-improving components, which is primarily fostering the expansion of companies involved in the anthocyanin market. Anthocyanin helps to prevent skin damage and aging, creating potential for suppliers in the nutraceutical and cosmetics industries. Common phytonutrients include lycopene from tomatoes and carotenoids from carrots, among others. There are numerous metabolic and degenerative diseases, most of which are caused by nutritional deficiencies, now increasingly affecting the population. Nutraceuticals are any ingredient used as food or as a component of food that has normal nutritional value and offers health advantages, such as illness prevention or health promotion.

The practice of relieving gastric discomfort with particular foods has long recognized the impact of nutrition on gut health, and more recently, a link between certain diets and decreased incidences of a number of gastrointestinal disorders has been established.

For the purpose of human disease prevention, the focus of this analysis is on grape seed nutraceuticals' most recent developments and prospective applications in the future.
