Críticas

"I'd strongly recommend this book for a variety of scientists. Not only is it up to date, but it is also very readable. The topics are related to the real world of food science in an effective way. Most scientists (including graduate students) in areas of study related to chemistry, biology and food science will find the book of value and a good investment." Chemistry World "The information in the book is recent and easy to locate...would serve well as a textbook for graduate students...as well as a good reference source." Inform "Of great value for botanists looking for basic information about plant chemical compounds." Folia Geobotanica

Reseña del editor

Plant Secondary Metabolites: Occurrence, Structure and Role in the Human Diet covers the main groups of natural products from a chemical and biosynthetic perspective with illustrations of how genetic engineering can be applied to manipulate levels of secondary metabolites of economic value as well as those of potential importance in diet and health. These descriptive chapters are augmented by chapters showing where these products are found in the diet, how they are metabolized and reviewing the evidence for their beneficial bioactivity.
