ABSTRACT
Because they have fewer negative effects than chemical medications, fruit‑derived bioactive compounds have gained attention as a regulator against a variety of diseases. Apple is one of the most popular fruits, a rich source of nutritional components, and has high amounts of bioactive substances. Pentacyclic triterpenes, phytosterols, polysaccharides(pectin), and polyphenols are the main structural classes of apple components. The nutritional benefits of apples are completed by vitamins and trace elements. These bioactive compounds found in apples and their peels can promote human health by reducing the risk of cancer, diabetes, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. This is supported by a growing body of scientific research. The present understanding of apple bioactive compounds and their potential medical benefits for people’s health will be the main emphasis of this review.
