Polyphenols in Plants: Isolation, Purification and Extract Preparation,
2nd edition, provides a detailed insight into polyphenols that occur
naturally in plants and how they can be affected during growth and
development, then effectively removed and optimized for various
applications in food production. Historically, plants have been the
major sources for drugs and health promotion. While there are a small
number of nutrients contained, the growing focus is on the very diverse,
complex ring structures: polyphenols that are not nutritious. In order
to study or use them in patient treatment, the polyphenols need to be
isolated, identified, and purified for application and study. This book
brings together experts in the field who share their ongoing examination
of isolation and purification of polyphenols as well as determination
of their structures and composition.
Polyphenols in Plants
covers a range of new topics including polyphenols in vegetable waste
and agricultural byproducts, extraction methods and characterization of
polyphenols, and isolation techniques in the development of new
compounds and their use in cancer therapy. This book will be useful to
plant scientists and dietary supplement producers, as well as scientists
in the food industry and alternative medicine who are interested in the
specific health benefits of various dietary extracts and other
polyphenol resources.
