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.
