Özet
Galangin, 4H-1-benzopyran-4-one,3,5,7-trihydroxy-2-phenyl or 3,5,7-trihydroxyflavone, is a polyphenolic compound derived primarily from different medicinal herbs. It has been suggested to have antimutagenic, antioxidant, and muscle contraction inhibitor properties. Most of the studies of galangin have focused on its anticancer effects. Promising data from epidemiological as well as in vitro and animal studies have claimed that galangin and the consumption of galangin-containing foods may affect several diseases. This chapter aims to provide knowledge and general information about galangin and its beneficial health effects.
