Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L., Apiaceae) is used in cuisine and traditional medicines. It is mainly cultivated for its yellowish-brown globular fruits, known as coriander seeds
The most characteristic activities of polyphenols are the antiradical and antioxidant ones. The good amount of polyphenols in C. sativum extracts makes it a suitable reducing agent, lipid peroxidation inhibitor, free radicals scavenger and quencher of singlet oxygen
The antioxidant and the anti-inflammatory activities of coriander polyphenols can help in the prevention of obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and type-2 diabetes and, hence, in the prevention of metabolic syndrome.
Coriander polyphenols can help to ameliorate obesity and metabolic syndrome.
The most important components found in coriander fruits are essential oil and fatty oil. Sterols, terpenoids, tocols are also present. Coriander vegetative parts, such as leaves and stems, present the greatest nutritional and health-promoting benefits due to their relatively high polyphenol content
