Welcome to eBASIS

eBASIS is a unique database that contains critically evaluated published data on the content and biological effects of bioactive constituents in plant based foods and an up-to-date list of plant and plant part names in 15 EU languages.

Bioactive compounds or phytochemicals have not been historically classified as ‘nutrients’ but there is mounting evidence that they may help to promote optimal human health, especially in relation to chronic disease. Research suggests that bioactive compounds found in fruits, vegetables, edible fungi and nuts may help to slow the ageing process and reduce risk of many diseases, including certain cancers, cardiovascular disease, degenerative eye diseases and osteoporosis.
