Abstract:
For centuries, grape leaves, especially red grape leaves, have been employed in herbal medicines and are still in use today. While grape leaves have long been used to cure a variety of diseases, further research is still needed to determine their true effectiveness. Due to high polyphenol content (as enlisted in table 4), grape leaves are frequently used in food fortification due to their health advantages. As a result, a complete review of grape leaves extract polyphenols and their health advantages in functional foods are required. As a result, we highlighted how grape leaves are a rich source of nutrients for general health and wellness, as well as having a complex chemical composition that appears to contribute to their therapeutic potential, particularly antioxidant activity. Grape leaves also offer anti-inflammatory, reproductive, cardiovascular, diabetic, and anti-cholesterol qualities, among other physiological advantages. The bioactive polyphenols, health benefits, and biological activity of grape leaves have all been reviewed.
