Natural antioxidants are substances that occur naturally and are used to prevent the oxidative rancidity of products, thus preserving their quality for an extended period. These antioxidants are phenolic compounds and can be found in various plant parts, including seeds, fruits, barks, leaves, vegetables, nuts, and roots.
The main types of products classified as natural antioxidants include vitamin E, vitamin C, carotenoids, and polyphenols. Vitamin E, comprising essential nutrients and antioxidants, plays a role in improving blood circulation, tissue healing, and protecting against cell damage in the human body. Natural antioxidants are available in different forms, including dry and liquid. These antioxidants are extracted from various sources such as plants and petroleum and find applications in industries like personal care, food and beverages, animal feed, and others.
