They are considered crucial for human health, as they aid in altering hormonal balance, enhancing immune system functions, converting beta-carotene to vitamin A, enhancing cell-to-cell communication, repairing DNA damages, and eliminating cancer cells. Phytonutrients also assist as the pigment offering deep hues to plants and foodstuffs. Flavonoids and phenolic compounds offer blue or purple color to blueberries, blackberries, and red cabbages while carotenoids offer yellow-orange color to carrots, papaya, and melon.
