cis-3-Hexen-1-ol ((Z)-3-Hexen-1-ol) is an aroma compound described as green grassy or the smell of cut grass. It is found in many fresh fruits and vegetables and is widely used as a flavor additive in processed food and perfumes. cis-3-Hexen-1-ol also attracts various insects[1][2].

β-Carotene (Provitamin A) is a naturally-occurring retinol (vitamin A) precursor obtained from certain fruits and vegetables with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities. As an anti-oxidant, beta carotene inhibits free-radical damage to DNA.

D(+)-Raffinose pentahydrate (D-Raffinose pentahydrate) is a naturally occurring trisaccharide composed of fructose, galactose, and glucose, found in various vegetables and grains. It functions as a functional oligosaccharide.

6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BAP), benzyl adenine or BAP is a first-generation synthetic cytokinin that elicits plant growth and development responses, setting blossoms and stimulating fruit richness by stimulating cell division. It is an inhibitor of respiratory kinase in plants, and increases post-harvest life of green vegetables.

5'-Guanylic acid disodium salt (GMP-5) is a purine ribonucleoside monophosphate. L-Glutamic acid and guanosine monophosphate are biosynthesized from xanthylic acid and L-glutamine via GMP synthase [glutamine-hydrolyzing]. Guanosine triphosphate and guanosine monophosphate are biosynthesized from diguanosine tetraphosphate via bis(5'-nucleosyl)-tetraphosphatase [asymmetrical]. In humans, guanosine monophosphate is involved in the kanamycin, telithromycin, tobramycin, and erythromycin action pathways, and several metabolic disorders including AICA-ribosiduria, adenosine deaminase deficiency, adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency (aprt), and 2-hydroxyglutric aciduria (D and L form) pathways. Guanosine monophosphate is also found in foods like onion-family vegetables, millet, Chinese water chestnut, and red rice, serving as a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.

Benzyl isothiocyanate (Benzoylthiocarbimide) (BITC) is an isothiocyanate originally found in cruciferous vegetables. It shows immunomodulatory, anti-parasitic, antibiotic, antioxidative, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-angiogenic, anti-metastatic, anticancer chemotherapeutic, and chemopreventive activities.

β-Ionone (β-lonone) is an end-ring analog of β-carotenoids which widely distributed in fruit and vegetables,with anti-proliferative, anti-metastatic

Oxalic acid dihydrate (Ethanedioic acid dihydrate) is a strong dicarboxylic acid occurring in many plants and vegetables. It is produced in the body by metabolism of glyoxylic acid or ascorbic acid. It is not metabolized but excreted in the urine. It is used as an analytical reagent and general reducing agent.

Stigmasterol (Stigmasterin) is found in the fats and oils of soybean, calabar bean and rape seed, as well as several other vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and unpasteurized milk. Stigmasterol has been focused on the cholesterol-lowering activity and is valued as an anti-stiffness factor in the therapy of rheumatic diseases.

Oxalic acid is a strong dicarboxylic acid occurring in many plants. Oxalic acid is produced in the body by metabolism of glyoxylic acid or ascorbic acid.

Geranylgeraniol (FT0626663) is an isoprenoid found in fruits, vegetables, and grains, including rice. Geranylgeraniol (FT0626663) inhibits growth and induces apoptosis of various tumor cells. Geranylgeraniol (FT0626663) protects monocytes against statin-induced cytotoxicity and suppresses the growth of Mycobacterium.

D-ALPHA-TOCOTRIENOL, an isoform of vitamin E, is found in vegetables, fruits, seeds, grains, oils and nuts.

Fisetin quarterhydrate, a natural flavonol present in numerous fruits and vegetables, exhibits benefits including antioxidant, anticancer, and neuroprotective effects.

α-Carotene is isolated from yellow-orange and dark-green vegetables. α-Carotene is used as an anti-metastatic agent or as an adjuvant for anti-cancer drugs.

Glucotropaeolin potassium (Benzylglucosinolate potassium) is found in cruciferous vegetables and moderately decrease spontaneous DNA damage in animals.

(±)-Enterodiol, the racemate of Enterodiol, is metabolized from lignans found in whole-grain cereals, nuts, legumes, flaxseed, and vegetables by human intestinal bacteria. This compound exhibits apoptotic effects in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and has been identified to possess anti-cancer activities [1] [2].

Quercetin, a flavonoid natural product, is a SIRT1 activator. It is also a PI3K inhibitor, inhibiting PI3Kγ, PI3Kδ, and PI3Kβ with IC50 values of 2.4, 3.0, and 5.4 μM, respectively. Recognized as a heat shock protein inhibitor, Quercetin can significantly reduce exosome release in TII models by downregulating Hsp70 or Hsp90.

Quercetin Dihydrate (Sophoretin) is a polyphenolic flavonoid that was found in a wide variety of plant-based foods, such as apples, onions, berries, and red wine. It is used for their nervous system and anticancer effects.
