Abstract:
Herbs and spices are a rich source of bioactive compounds that exhibit multidirectional health-promoting effects. Their bioactivity is mainly related to the presence of phenolic acids, flavonoids, carotenoids, essential oils, alkaloids, tannins, saponins and other plant bioactive compounds. The potential of herbs and spices in preventing oxidative stress, inflammation, bacterial infections and metabolic disorders is increasingly highlighted in the scientific literature, making them a valuable addition to functional foods. Confectionery products belong to a group of food products characterised by high consumer acceptance due to their attractive sensory qualities. Unfortunately, despite high popularity, traditional confectionery mainly provides empty calories in the form of simple sugars and saturated fats while lacking valuable nutrients such as vitamins, minerals or bioactive compounds. This review focuses on the composition and bioactive properties of selected herbs and spices, presenting current knowledge on their potential use in the production of functional confectionery products.
