Recent Advances in Polyphenol Research
Volume 2
Edited by Santos-Buelga, Escribano-Bailon and Lattanzio
Plant phenolics are secondary metabolites that constitute one of
the most common and widespread groups of substances in plants.
Polyphenols have a large and diverse array of beneficial effects on
both plants and animals. For example they are famous as
antioxidants, hormones, constituents of essential oils and natural
neurotransmitters.
Sponsored by Groupe Polyphenols, this publication, which is the
second volume in this ground-breaking series, is edited by
Celestino Santos-Buelga, Maria Teresa Escribano-Bailon, and
Vincenzo Lattanzio, who have drawn together an impressive list of
internationally respected authors, each providing cutting edge
chapters covering some of the major topics of recent research and
interest.
Information included in this important new addition to the
series include the following areas:
* Flavonoid chemistry of the leguminosae
* Chemistry and biological activity of ellagitannins
* Chemistry and function of anthocyanins in plants
* An update of chemical pathways leading to new phenolic
pigments during wine ageing
* Metabolic engineering of the flavonoid pathway
* The translation of chemical properties of polyphenols
into biological activity with impacts in human health
* Plant phenolic compounds controlling leaf movement
* Biological activity of phenolics in plants
Chemists, biochemists, plant scientists, pharmacognosists and
pharmacologists, food scientists and nutritionists will all find
this book an invaluable resource. Libraries in all universities and
research establishments where these subjects are studied and taught
should have copies on their shelves.
