Abstract：As secondary metabolites commonly existent in plants, polyphenols have a variety of special physiological functions such as anti-oxidation, anti-cancer, anti-aging, reducing blood sugar and blood lipid levels, and preventing cardiovascular diseases. Barley ( Hordeum vulgare) has been used as a significant source of natural antioxidants, due to its high contents of phenolic compounds such as catechin and proanthocyanidins . The total polyphenol content in barley can be up to 1200~1500 mg/kg. Based on the documented researches, this article summarized the varieties and contents of barely polyphenols, their extraction and determination methods, as well as the research progress in their application to animal feed, brewing beer and human health.
