Abstract:
At present, almost every third person in the society is under
stress and having chronic disorders like diabetes, arthritis, allergy, cardiovascular
disease, fatigue and even cancer. Recently, there is decline in the physical
and mental capabilities along with the social values. So this certainly should
raise the alarms as to why such deterioration is taking place in the society
or what are the changes in the lifestyle that might have a role direct/indirect
in evolution of such changes? Vegetable is an immense store of active chemical
compounds and considered as the cheapest and most easily available sources of
carbohydrate, fiber, proteins, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. The intake
of green and leafy vegetables lowers the risk of chronic diseases, cardiovascular
diseases, anemia, cancer, oxidative stress, diabetes, weight gain etc. In recent
time, vegetables have also been identified as safe and economic expression system
for producing the recombinant proteins including the vaccines against many infectious
diseases like hepatitis B, malaria, rotavirus, HIV, Helicobacter pylori,
pestedes petits ruminants etc. However, besides the beneficial effect, contaminated
and raw vegetables harbors pesticide residues and many pathogenic microbes viz.,
norovirus, Salmonella, E. coli, Shigella, Listeria monocytogens
and also prove to be an excellent source of disease outbreaks. The present review
highlights the phytonutrients and neutraceuticals in fruits and vegetables;
their medicinal and health benefits for humans and their domestic as well as
companion animals along with their fruitful practical applications and perspectives
like bioreactor for producing vaccine along with the methods that can increase
their nutritional benefits.
