As recently presented, MRPs have exhibited important beneficial health effects, such as antiradical, antimutagenic, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antiallergenic, antioxidant, and cytotoxic properties (Rufian-Henares and Morales 2007; Wang and others ´ 2011; Echavarr´ıa and others 2012; Langner and Rzeski 2014; Pastoriza and Rufian-Henares 2014).<ref name=cargon>Carvalho DO, Gonçalves LM, Guido LF.

Phenolic acids, among all classes of phenolic compounds in foodstuffs (including barley and beer), are the most easily absorbed from the intestinal tract41,45. Phenolic acids from foods have been detected in urine9  and are present in blood in considerable concentrations13. Even when the consumption of more complex phenolic compounds is high, they are degraded and simple phenolic acids are excreted.<ref name=szw>Szwajgier D.
