nutraceuticals
Nutraceuticals are bioactive compounds derived from plants that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition, bridging the gap between food and medicine. In plant science, research into nutraceuticals focuses on understanding the biosynthesis, accumulation, and enhancement of these compounds—such as polyphenols, alkaloids, and glucosinolates—within plant tissues. This field drives investigation into plant secondary metabolism, breeding strategies, and cultivation practices aimed at maximizing the therapeutic potential of crop and medicinal plants.
