NUTR 3000 Take-home assignment-Phytochemicals and metabolism 45 points
Aside from the ‘nutrient’ components of food, non-nutrient components of foods such as fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices, called ‘phytochemicals’ can have a notable effect on metabolism. The goal of this assignment is to help you learn more about the phytochemicals that may be predominant in your diet and the potential impact on your health.
Q-1. List your favorite fruit, vegetable, herb and spice. (4 points)
Q-2. What is the main phytochemical that has been identified as the ‘bioactive’ compound in your chosen fruit, vegetable, herb and spice and considered responsible for its biological activity/effect on health (e.g. curcumin in turmeric, resveratrol in red grapes/red wine, piperine in black pepper)? List the names and chemical structures of the four phytochemicals (one each from your fruit, vegetable, herb and spice), and the respective classes of phytochemicals they belong to (e.g. resveratrol belong to the class of polyphenols/stilbenes).
