Summary: "This volume looks at the importance of medicinal plants and their potential benefits for human health, providing insight with scientific evidence on the use of functional foods in the treatment and management of certain diseases. Divided into four sections, the volume covers the assessment and identification of medicinal plants, the role of medicinal plants in disease management, the ethnobotany and phytochemistry of medicinal plants, and novel applications of plants. Chapters discuss the variety of bioactive compounds (also referred to as phytochemicals) in the leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits of certain plants that can help to promote human health. It outlines the bioactive molecules that can be isolated from medicinal plants, the available sources, the biochemistry and structural composition of the plants, and their potential biological activities. It goes on to look at bioactive compounds in relation to their potential pharmacological applications in human health, particularly disease prevention and management. Assessment of Medicinal Plants for Human Health: Phytochemistry, Disease Management, and Novel Applications sheds light on the potential of certain plants and will be of value to faculty and advanced-level students of natural products, food science, pharmacognosy, pharmacology, and biochemistry. It will also be of interest to researchers in the area of drug discovery and development. Key features: looks at the preservation of indigenous knowledge on functional foods and medicine; discusses how to identify novel plants and their bioactive compounds for the treatment of different diseases; describes the mechanisms of action of the plants; encourages the development of plant-based drugs; fosters the integration of herbal medicine and modern medicine"-- Provided by publisher.
