Apple Polyphenols are phytochemicals concentrated in the skin of unripe apples. Quercetin, procyanidins, catechins, phloridzin, phlorizin, epicatechin, rutin, and chlorogenic acid are all apple polyphenols. These chemical compounds are being studied extensively in labs around the world for their health effects in major diseases.
Types of Polyphenols
Apples supply around 22 percent of the total phenols eaten each year in the United States, according to Silvina Lotito, Ph.D., of the Linus Pauling Institute. The polyphenols found in apples include quercetin glycoside, phloretin glycoside, chlorogenic acid and epicatechin. Different types of apples vary in their polyphenol content. Baby food applesauce has high levels of quercetin because the peel is ground into the applesauce, while adult applesauce is made from peeled apples. Many of the nutrients in apples are found very close to the skin, so peeling removes them.
Benefits
The benefits of polyphenols found in apples include antioxidant activity, which reduces the number of free radicals, molecules that cause cell damage and that may cause cancer, heart disease and other chronic illnesses. Polyphenols may also increase immune responses, detoxify cancer-causing agents, repair cell damage and kill cancer cells.

Polyphenols extracted from apples are also showing promise in treating , improving , and preventing reactions. Apple polyphenol extracts have been shown to be 2 to 6 times more powerful then Vitamin C as antioxidants. Apple polyphenols are naturally occurring plant compounds that act as potent antioxidants. They protect cells against , reactive atoms that contribute to tissue damage in the body. Recently, apple polyphenol extracts have been announced to dramatically decrease and increase muscle strength in laboratory animals. This exciting but preliminary report has fueled a strong interest in these natural botanical compounds.
