This new volume provides comprehensive coverage of the family Rutaceae, emphasizing its diverse phytochemistry and medicinal uses. The volume provides an introduction to the family Rutaceae and then goes on to delineate its phytochemical and pharmacological properties and uses. Also addressed are the nutritional, clinical, and toxicological profiles of the family Rutaceae, elaborating on the nutritional value of Rutaceae plants, their healthcare and clinical applications, and their possible toxic side effects. This volume provides an information overview of the Rutaceae family, which comprises numerous ornamental as well as economically significant fruit-bearing trees with significant phytochemistry and medicinal uses that are important for new drug discovery for pharmaceutical industries. The chapters may also direct researchers to isolate/extract pure compounds from Family Rutaceae for new and novel drug discoveries.
The 3-volume set, Phytochemistry, covers a wide selection of topics in phytochemistry and provides a wealth of information on the fundamentals, new applications, methods and modern analytical techniques, state-of-the-art approaches, and computational techniques. With chapters from professional specialists in their fields from around the world, the volumes deliver a comprehensive coverage of phytochemistry. Phytochemistry is a multidisciplinary field, so this book will appeal to students in both upper-level students, faculty, researchers, and industry professionals in a number of fields, including biological science, biochemistry, pharmacy, food and medicinal chemistry, systematic botany and taxonomy, ethnobotany, conservation biology, plant genetic and metabolomics, evolutionary sciences, and plant pathology.
On their list of 17 Sustainable Development Goals for all nations, the United Nations uses #5 “to achieve equality and empower all women and girls”. One of the nine targets under goal 5 is ‘gender equality in the ownership of productive assets, especially land, by 2030”. When it comes to achieving gender equality in developing countries like Bangladesh, women and men’s equal access to property is generally seen as a goal that is universally desirable. But what if this were a wholly inappropriate metric for measuring and achieving gender equality by 2030 across diverse situations in the developing world—and Bangladesh in particular? This is exactly the case author and development ...
This thought-provoking book examines breakdowns in the quality of health and social care over the past decade, exploring governance failures and the challenges of achieving lasting change. Failures in care have been manifest across many different settings. Drawing on examples from care of older people and end-of-life care, as well as from learning disabilities, mental health, maternity care and services for vulnerable children, Neil Small shows that the same sorts of problems are evident across these settings and that they are occurring up to the present day. Discussing culture change alongside levels of funding and the impact of prevailing political and economic orthodoxies, and through the...
This volume presents chapters that discuss secondary metabolites of marine origin, the industrial applications of phytochemicals, and recent advances in phytochemical research. It considers production of secondary metabolites and accumulations through in vitro cultures and also reviews the effects of natural products as biopesticides and as eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors. In addition, the volume discusses the effects of the environment on the distribution of phytochemicals and the roles of phytochelatins and heavy metal tolerance in plants.
This book amalgamates the facts on carbon dioxide capture from ethanol fermentation of sugarcane molasses and its impact on climate changes. Learning objectives will be achieved through tables and figures that guide professional and students alike through a user-friendly format. The book presents advanced information on CO2 production from ethanol facilities, impact on climate changes and global warming. Utilization of CO2 in various chemical industries, carbonated beverage industry, and processing and preservation of food are illustrated. The book is equally invaluable to students of the relevant disciplines and to those taking more specialized climate change/sustainability courses. Industry employees involved in product development, production management and quality management will benefit as well. Academics in teaching, research and personnel involved in environment regulatory capacity should also find this book ideal for their use.
Freshwater Mycology: Perspectives of Fungal Dynamics in Freshwater Ecosystems presents chapters from expert contributors around the world.
