Extracts From Plants and Other Natural Sources: Application, Characterization, Optimization, and Their Use
In the last decades, natural compounds attract much of the attention of the scientific community because of the wide range of biological activity. The possibility of changing the synthetic compounds for natural ones in food products was, and still is, one of the main goals of many studies in this field. For this purpose, different extraction techniques have been developed followed by the development of many analytical instruments and methods for the detection, identification, and quantification of isolated natural compounds. Isolation of the natural compounds became a challenging problem of great importance since the natural matrix is a highly complex mixture of different compounds.
Bioactive Compounds and Nutraceuticals from Plant Sources
This new volume focuses on the technology of bioactive compounds and nutraceuticals from fruit and vegetable sources, from cereal grain sources, and from cereal processing by-products. The chapters look at the extraction technologies, analytical techniques, and potential health prospects specifically from fruits and vegetables sources. They cover plants such plantation crops, roots, and tubers, as well as fruit and vegetable processing byproducts. They also consider bioactive compounds and nutraceuticals from major and minor cereal grain sources and from cereal processing byproducts. This new book provides valuable insight for food technologists and those in related areas of research. Bioactive Compounds and Nutraceuticals from Plant Sources: Extraction Technology, Analytical Techniques, and Potential Health Prospects is the companion volume to Bioactive Compounds and Nutraceuticals from Dairy, Marine, and Nonconventional Sources: Extraction Technology, Analytical Techniques, and Potential Health Prospects by the same editors.
Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry
Key information on plant-based chemical and pharmacology research, from basics and principles through recent technological advances Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry provides an overview of the basics of pharmacognosy and phytochemistry from early principles through contemporary advances like molecular pharmacognosy. The book covers the classification of crude drugs, complementary and alternative medical (CAM) systems, adulteration and evaluation of drugs, extraction methods of plant drugs, and ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology. The book also reviews the historical overview, therapeutic application, cultural and ecological dimensions of plant-based medicines. Other key chapters discuss biotechnology and clinical pharmacognosy. Written by a group of expert contributors, Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry reviews sample topics including: Methodologies for extracting bioactive compounds and techniques to perform qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis Therapeutic potential of plant secondary metabolites and the processes of isolation, purification, and characterization of herbal drugs Biological screening methods and biosynthetic pathways of phytopharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical aids, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, pesticides, and allergens Comparative phytochemistry, chemotaxonomy, and the emerging field of marine pharmacognosy Combining traditional knowledge with modern advancements to provide a holistic understanding of two important fields, Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry serves as an excellent resource for students, researchers, and practitioners.
