Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common worldwide and its incidence expected to increase by almost 80% 2030. CRC apparition related poor diet, mainly due low consumption of phytochemicals present in fruits vegetables. Hence, this paper reviews promising literature, presenting scientific evidence regarding potential chemopreventive effects. Moreover, reveals structure action mechanisms that these are involved in. The review vegetables rich such as carrots green leafy vegetables, well some pineapple, citrus fruits, papaya, mango, Cape gooseberry, have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, properties can promote a healthy colonic environment.

Polyphenols are a group of phytochemicals with potential health-promoting effects. They classified as flavonoid (flavonols, flavanols, flavones, flavanones, isoflavones, and anthocyanins) non-flavonoid molecules (phenolic acids, hydroxycinnamic lignans, stilbenes, tannins). Although an increasing number trials have shown correlation among polyphenol consumption reduction in risk factors for chronic diseases, discrepancies explaining their positive effects been found terms the bioavailability. In fact, polyphenols show low bioavailability due to several factors: interaction food matrix, metabolic processes mediated by liver (phase I II metabolism), intestine microbiota. On other hand, biological activities phenol compounds may be metabolites, which produced vivo, recent studies confirmed that these antioxidant anti-phlogistic properties. This review discusses performed consider different sources. Factors influencing main classes also considered.

The present review summarizes the studies carried out on this topic in last five years. According to new definitions, among all compounds included group of prebiotics, polyphenols are probably most important secondary metabolites produced by plant kingdom. Many these types have low bioavailability, therefore reaching colon unaltered form. Once colon, interact with intestinal microbes bidirectionally modulating them and, consequently, releasing metabolites. Despite much research various metabolites, little is known about chemistry metabolic routes used different bacteria species. In context, aims investigate prebiotic effect preclinical and clinical studies, highlighting that consumption leads an increase beneficial bacteria, as well production valuable conclusion, there evidence supporting polyphenols, but further needed humans.
