ABSTRACT
Dr. Ragai K. Ibrahim, Professor Emeritus at Concordia University, Montréal, Canada, passed away on the November 19, 2017 at the age of 88 years. Dr. Ibrahim dedicated his entire professional life to polyphenols and spent most of his academic career (1967-1997) at the Department of Biology of Concordia University in Montréal. He has been an active member of the Groupe Polyphénols since the beginning. This paper is a tribute to Dr. Ibrahim from some of his former students. An overview of the evolution of polyphenol research since the late 1950s and the outstanding contribution that Dr. Ibrahim had to this topic is given. The input of Dr. Ibrahim's research to the enzymology and genetics of polyphenol biosynthesis is discussed. Furthermore, the links between Dr. Ibrahim's work and some aspects of modern studies on the health benefits of polyphenols are presented.
