Polyphenols in Plants: Isolation, Purification and Extract Preparation

Polyphenols in Plants: Isolation, Purification and Extract Preparation 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. Historically plants have been the major sources for drugs and health promotion. There are a small number of nutrients. However, the growing focus is on the very diverse, complex ring structures, polyphenols that are not nutritious. To study or use them in patient treatment the polyphenols need to be isolated, identified, and purified for use and study. This book will bring together experts that will update their continuing study of ways to isolate and purify polyphenols as well as determine their structures and composition. In addition, some will update their previous summaries with new research by others as well as themselves. Plant scientists and dietary supplement producers will be particularly interested in assessing polyphenol content and factors impacting their composition, to select sources and regulate environmental conditions affecting yield for more consistent and functional dietary supplements. Fully revised and updated with 12 new chapters including extraction optimization, additional plant varieties and recent technology advancesDevelops understanding of isolation, characterization and identification of critical polyphenols vital to industrial development as therapiesDefines conditions of growth affecting the polyphenol levelsDescribes assay and instrumentation techniques critical to identifying and defining polyphenols, vital to researchers and business developmentProvides insights into potential dangers and importance to the dietary supplement industry, government regulators and lay public users INDICE: Section 1: Modification by Plant Growth and Environment 1.
