Abstract
antioxidants are substances that inhibit oxidation and are able to neutralize the oxidative effect of free radicals. Dietary-derived antioxidants are now increasingly being researched for their positive health effects, including their role in the prevention of various diseases. In general, plant antioxidants receive a lot of attention as they can be consumed for longer periods of time without any side effects. Fruits are an important component of the human diet and play an important role in maintaining health. This is due to the presence of bioactive components that have a beneficial effect on human physiology. A number of plants have gained popularity as useful food items. Among them, persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) can be distinguished, the fruits of which are nutritious and have strong antioxidant activity. This review summarizes data on the types of persimmon, its properties and methods of use.
