Phytochemistry: An in-silico and in-vitro Update
Phytochemistry is the branch of science that deals with the study of plant-derived chemicals or compounds, which are also known as phytochemicals or plant-derived secondary metabolites. Plants are known to produce phytochemicals that are essential for their growth and reproduction, as they protect them from insects, pathogens, and herbivores. Some of the major groups of plant-derived secondary metabolites are phenolics, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, tannin etc. Plant-derived phytochemicals are pharmacologically active and have the potential to cure various human diseases and disorders. Natural plant products have been known for their medicinal properties for untold years, and form the b...
Phytochemical Drug Discovery for Central Nervous System Disorders
PHYTOCHEMICAL DRUG DISCOVERY FOR CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS Understand herbal and plant-based treatments for chronic disorders with this groundbreaking work Due in part to the aging of the global population, disorders of the central nervous system have become an increasingly grave public health concern in recent years. Demand for pharmaceutical treatments has been correspondingly high, but there are many barriers to the successful development of effective synthetic drugs. Phytomedicines, or plant-based and herbal medicines, have proven to be an effective alternative, boasting lower toxicity and cost and higher efficacy, and one that demands greater research and broader-based practition...
Some New Aspects of Colloidal Systems in Foods
Some New Aspects of Colloidal Systems in Foods is a new book on food emulsions, which provides in-depth coverage of some new aspects of food colloids. The coverage includes confident overviews of theoretical issues as well as descriptions of new techniques and recent colloid research findings. Specific topics include the role of electrostatic and steric forces in the stabilization of food colloids, antioxidants in food emulsions, nanoemulsions, and nanostructured colloids in food science. This book can be used as a specialized text for graduate students and researchers in food science and technology. In addition, it will serve as a reference text for advanced students in chemistry, engineers, biochemists, nutritionists, and analytical chemists in the food industry and research.
Biochemical and Molecular Pharmacology in Drug Discovery
Biochemical and Molecular Pharmacology in Drug Discovery comprises fundamental biochemical and molecular aspects of drug discovery and basic understanding of modern drug discovery approaches along with certain key topics related to molecular pharmacology of drugs and therapeutics. Molecular pharmacology has gained significant momentum among researchers, scientists, and academicians because of its increasing interest in drug discovery research across the globe. Molecular pharmacology involves a fundamental understanding of drug actions at the molecular level with the help of several tools and techniques of biochemical and molecular biology. It explains the phenomena of drug-target interaction...
Sample Preparation in Metabolomics
Metabolomics is increasingly being used to explore the dynamic responses of living systems in biochemical research. The complexity of the metabolome is outstanding, requiring the use of complementary analytical platforms and methods for its quantitative or qualitative profiling. In alignment with the selected analytical approach and the study aim, sample collection and preparation are critical steps that must be carefully selected and optimized to generate high-quality metabolomic data. This book showcases some of the most recent developments in the field of sample preparation for metabolomics studies. Novel technologies presented include electromembrane extraction of polar metabolites from plasma samples and guidelines for the preparation of biospecimens for the analysis with high-resolution μ magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (HR-μMAS NMR). In the following chapters, the spotlight is on sample preparation approaches that have been optimized for diverse bioanalytical applications, including the analysis of cell lines, bacteria, single spheroids, extracellular vesicles, human milk, plant natural products and forest trees.

Cinnamon and cinnamon extracts are common ingredients in food and cosmetics, and various studies have demonstrated cinnamon's promise in the treatment of diseases, including diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's Leukemia, and Lymphoma, as well as its antimicrobial and antiinflammatory properties. This reference will covers all of the latest knowledge and serve as an ideal starting point for those looking to conduct novel research investigating the unknown potential of cinnamon.Food scientists, ag...
Emerging Strategies in Combatting and Managing Bacterial Biofilms
Biofilm formation is a survival strategy for many microorganisms. Within biofilms, microorganisms live in multicellular communities enclosed in a protective matrix that enables them to survive harsh conditions and resist conventional treatments. The ability of biofilm-forming microorganisms to inhabit different biotic and abiotic surfaces facilitates their widespread existence in different environments including health care facilities, water systems, ships, and even living hosts. Hence, this microbial phenotype became a major concern in various sectors including public health, medicine, and industry. The challenge imparted by the detrimental effects of biofilms has sparked the interest of ma...
Food and Agricultural Byproducts as Important Source of Valuable Nutraceuticals
Food and agricultural by-products are leftovers or wastes from parts of foods, fruits, vegetables and animal sources which are obtained after processing. Agricultural by-products includes peels and rinds from citrus fruits, pineapple, mango, and banana. Other notable ones are pomace from apple, olive, red beet, and those from wine making. Also, whey from milk, straws, hulls, and brans from grains are among top agricultural by-products. These by-products often impact the environment and the social-economic sectors when they are disposed. But with the recent advances in biotechnology and scientific research, scientists have found usefulness in some of these byproducts as sources of valuable nu...
