Polyphenols In Plants: Isolation, Purification And Extract Preparation

Polyphenols in Plants: Isolation, Purification and Extract Preparation, Second Edition provides insight into how the polyphenols that occur naturally in plants can be affected during growth and development-and then effectively removed and optimized-before being implemented in food production. The book brings together experts who update their continuing study on ways to isolate and purify polyphenols and how to determine their structures and composition. Plant scientists and dietary supplement producers will be particularly interested in the book's content on how to assess polyphenol content and the factors that impact their composition. Historically, plants have been a major source for drug and health promotion. To study or use them in patient treatment, their polyphenols need to be isolated, identified and purified for use and study. Presents a fully-revised and updated edition with 12 new chapters, including sections on extraction optimization, additional plant varieties, and recent technology advances Develops an understanding of isolation, characterization and identification of critical polyphenols that is vital to industrial development in therapies Defines conditions of growth affecting polyphenol levels Describes assay and instrumentation techniques critical to identifying and defining polyphenols that is vital to researchers and business development
