    Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the world's oldest cereal crops. There is considerable interest in barley's potential usage in human diets. Barley is rich in bioactive metabolites such as high content of β-glucan, fiber, and vitamin E. It is also well known as a rich source of phytochemical derivatives, namely, phenolic acids, flavonols, chalcones, flavones, proanthocyanidins, and flavanones. Phenolic compounds are recognized as an excellent dietary material with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. This review was written to give an overview on the main components that are separated from barley using different solvents. Even though there were numerous biological activities for barely, the antioxidant as well as the anti-inflammatory were the main focus in this review.
