Berries and Berry Bioactive Compounds in Promoting Health (Food Chemistry, Function and Analysis, Volume 33) (Original PDF from Publisher)

Description

In the past two decades, research on the health benefits of berries, their bioactive compounds, and their related metabolites has exploded, leading to new insights into their metabolism, molecular mode of action, and clinical significance in promoting health and preventing chronic disease.

The book Berries and Berry Bioactive Compounds in Promoting Health examines the most recent research results in this rapidly expanding field. With state-of-the-art reviews, this extensive book brings together global specialists in their respective domains. The goal of this book is to examine how berry bioactive chemicals and their metabolites affect various bodily systems and chronic illnesses, as well as how they affect gut flora and ultimately impact health. The chemical and analytical techniques for detecting berry bioactive compounds, bioavailability, metabolism, and factors influencing them, such as individual variability, their interaction with the gut microbiome, and their role and mechanism(s) of action on chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and obesity-induced inflammation, as well as neuroprotection and wound healing, are among the unique topics covered.

Health care providers, dietitians, nutritionists, clinical researchers, manufacturers of natural and nutraceutical food products, and food regulators will all benefit from it, as will scientists studying berries and their bioactive constituents in relation to health and illness.
