Phytochemicals in Nutrition and Health
Editorial Reviews
Review
This 12-chapter review includes discussions of the botanical origins of phytochemicals through to their clinical use in therapy, providing a comprehensive review of the most notable phytochemicals being researched today. … Each chapter presents data that are cutting edge and thorough and that are easily read. I would recommend this book for researchers, educators, and dietitians interested in functional foods and preventive health. Others involved in food formulation and product development in the food industry would also benefit from having this book on their reference shelf.
