Abstract

Lettuce leaves contain lipids located in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts and this lipid material is a structural support for the photosynthetic process. However, lipids are susceptible to oxidative damage due to abiotic stress. In this regard, phenols, compounds of natural origin, originating from the secondary metabolism of plants, are capable of attenuating oxidative damage and, in addition, can play a key role as an antioxidant in bodily functions
