Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
Biological Roles:
plant metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
fungal metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in fungi, the kingdom that includes microorganisms such as the yeasts and moulds.
Applications:
protective agent  Synthetic or natural substance which is given to prevent a disease or disorder or are used in the process of treating a disease or injury due to a poisonous agent.
