Vancouver Quote Example:
Polyphenols are compounds synthesized by plants for protection against radiation, mechanical damage and microbial infection [1]. Polyphenols have structural variability and are commonly classified as flavonoids, phenolic acids, tannins and stilbenes. The main differences between polyphenols are in the number of phenolic rings, together with one or more hydroxyl radicals [2,3].
