Plants and plant-derived compounds and drugs are becoming more
and more popular with increasing numbers of scientists researching
plant analysis. The quality control of herbal drugs is also
becoming essential to avoid severe health problems, and in the
future many more new drugs will be developed from plant
sources.
This three-volume Handbook, featuring 47 detailed review articles,
is unique as it deals with chemical and biological methodologies
for plant analysis. It presents the most important and most
accurate methods which are available for plant analysis.
This comprehensive work is divided into six sections as
follows:
Sample preparation and identification – discussing
plant selection and collection, followed by extraction and sample
preparation methodologies.
Extraction and sample preparation methodologies
Instrumentation for chemical analysis – several
instrumentations for chemical plant analysis are presented with an
emphasis on hyphenated techniques, e.g. the coupling between HPLC
and mass spectroscometry, and HPLC with NMR.
Strategies for selective classes of compounds –
coverage of the most interesting classes of compounds such as
polysaccharides, saponins, cardiotonic glycosides, alkaloids,
terpenoids, lipids, volatile compounds and polyphenols (
flavonoids, xanthones, coumarins, naphthoquinones, anthraquinones,
proanthocyanidins, etc.).
Biological Analysis – includes phenotyping, DNA barcoding
techniques, transcriptome analysis , microarray, metabolomics and
proteomics.
Drugs from Plants – covers the screening of plant
extracts and strategies for the quick discovery of novel
bioactive natural products. Safety assessment of herbal drugs is
highly dependent on outstanding chromatographic and spectroscopic
methods which are also featured here.
This Handbook introduces to scientists involved in plant studies
the current knowledge of methodologies in various fields of
chemically- and biochemically-related topics in plant
research.
The content from this Handbook will publish online within the
