Recent Advances in Polyphenol Research

Volume 2

Edited by means of Santos-Buelga, Escribano-Bailon and Lattanzio

Plant phenolics are secondary metabolites that represent essentially the most universal and frequent teams of drugs in vegetation. Polyphenols have a wide and various array of worthy results on either vegetation and animals. for instance they're well-known as antioxidants, hormones, elements of crucial oils and usual neurotransmitters.

Sponsored by way of Groupe Polyphenols, this ebook, that's the second one quantity during this ground-breaking sequence, is edited through Celestino Santos-Buelga, Maria Teresa Escribano-Bailon, and Vincenzo Lattanzio, who've drawn jointly a powerful checklist of the world over revered authors, each one offering leading edge chapters overlaying the various significant issues of modern examine and interest.

Information integrated during this vital new addition to the sequence comprise the next areas:

• Flavonoid chemistry of the leguminosae

• Chemistry and organic job of ellagitannins

• Chemistry and serve as of anthocyanins in plants

• An replace of chemical pathways resulting in new phenolic pigments in the course of wine ageing

• Metabolic engineering of the flavonoid pathway

• the interpretation of chemical homes of polyphenols into organic job with affects in human health

• Plant phenolic compounds controlling leaf movement

• organic task of phenolics in plants

Chemists, biochemists, plant scientists, pharmacognosists and pharmacologists, nutrients scientists and nutritionists will all locate this ebook a useful source. Libraries in all universities and study institutions the place those matters are studied and taught must have copies on their cabinets.
