There is a growing trend among consumers to seek out natural foods and products with natural ingredients. This shift in consumer preferences had a direct impact on both food and pharmaceutical industries, leading to a focus of scientific research and commercial efforts to meet these new demands. The aim of this work is to review recent available scientific data on foods of interest, such as the artichoke, gooseberry, and polygonoideae plants, as well as olive oil and red raspberries. Interestingly, the urgency of solutions to the climate change emergency has brought new attention to by-products of grapevine bunch stem and cane, which have been found to contain bioactive compounds with potential health benefits. There is a pressing need for a faster process of translating scientific knowledge from the laboratory to real-world applications, especially in the face of the increasing societal burden associated with non-communicable diseases (NCDs), environmental crises, the post-pandemic world, and ongoing violent conflicts around the world.

植物源生物活性化合物：探索神经保护、代谢和肝脏保护作用，以促进健康和疾病预防

消费者寻求天然食品和含有天然成分的产品的趋势日益增长。消费者偏好的这种转变对食品和制药行业产生了直接影响，导致科学研究和商业努力集中于满足这些新需求。这项工作的目的是回顾有关食品的最新可用科学数据，例如朝鲜蓟、醋栗和蓼科植物，以及橄榄油和红树莓。有趣的是，解决气候变化紧急情况的紧迫性引起了人们对葡萄串茎和甘蔗副产品的新关注，这些副产品被发现含有具有潜在健康益处的生物活性化合物。迫切需要更快地将科学知识从实验室转化为现实世界的应用，特别是面对与非传染性疾病（NCD）、环境危机、大流行后世界相关的日益增加的社会负担，以及世界各地持续不断的暴力冲突。
