| Abstract
|
:
|
A collection of current knowledge of phytochemicals and health. Interest in phenolic phytochemicals has increased as scientific studies indicate these compounds exhibit potential health benefits. With contributions from world leaders in this research area, Plant Phenolics and Human Health: Biochemistry, Nutrition, and Pharmacology offers an essential survey of the current knowledge on the capacity of specific micronutrients present in ordinary diets to fight disease. The coverage in this resource:. Explains the presence and biochemical properties of phenolics present in fruits and vegetables.
