Phytochemicals by Sarah Sparrow Pdf

Phytochemicals are bioactive compounds found in natural sources, particularly in plant foods. These elements work with the existing nutrients and fiber in fruits and vegetables to boost the body's immune system to make it resistant to diseases and infections. Filling up one's diet with fruits and vegetables that are rich in phytochemicals lowers the risk of developing chronic diseases like cancer, heart diseases, and diabetes. Its antioxidant properties also help in protecting the body from free radicals in the environment and the food we eat. As cancer-causing agents are deactivated and controlled, you can live a healthier and happier life. If you want to know more about phytochemicals and its effects on the body then "Phytochemicals: What You Should Know - A Quick Booklet about Phytonutrients" help you learn about: How Phytochemicals Work Most Common Phytochemicals Found in Fruits and Vegetables Carotenoids Flavonoids Sulphoraphane Limonene Indoles Allium Compound Characteristics and Colors of Phytochemicals in Fruits and Veggies Red Green Blue and Purple Yellow and Orange White/ Brown/ Tan A to Z of Fruits and Vegetables that are Rich in Phytochemicals Benefits of Phytochemicals Variety Matters Food Processing and Phytochemicals Phytochemicals as Protection from Diseases Get a copy of this book today and discover how phytochemicals can help you live a healthier life.

Phytochemicals in Vegetables and their Therapeutic Properties by C.K Narayana Pdf

This book contains information on plant-based nutrients and phytochemicals in vegetable crops that are commonly consumed. The information generated by researchers using modern methods of biochemical analysis and results, mostly validated using cell line cultures or animal models, and to a limited extent on human volunteers have been presented. The vegetable crops have been grouped based on the family they belong to, because most often members of the same family have similar biomolecules as active ingredients and have similar effects on health. The book will help students/researchers/scientists and common man alike to look at the vegetables as protective foods, not just because it is said so, but with a scientific explanation.

Handbook of Phytonutrients in Indigenous Fruits and Vegetables by Dharini Sivakumar,Yasmina Sultanbawa,Michael Netzel Pdf

The effects of inadequate diets on the population include malnutrition, non-communicable diseases and obesity. 'Hidden hunger', also known as micronutrient deficiencies, leads to various health-related disorders and diseases. Indigenous plants, in the form of indigenous fruits and leafy vegetables are gaining interest as a source of nutrients and bioactive phytochemicals, satisfying both food demand and health needs. Moreover, with the impact of climate change, and the importance of sustainability of food systems, it is essential that we investigate new, forgotten and alternative crops that can thrive in harsh conditions, require low fertilizer input, and are easily harvestable. This is an essential resource for academic researchers and industry professionals in the fields of horticulture, agriculture, crop science, human health and nutrition.

Phytochemicals in Vegetables: A Valuable Source of Bioactive Compounds by Spyridon A. Petropoulos,Isabel C.F.R. Ferreira,Lilian Barros Pdf

Phytochemical compounds are secondary metabolites that plants usually synthesize for their own protection from pests and diseases. Phytochemical biosynthesis is also triggered under specific environmental conditions. They cannot be classified as essential nutrients since they are not required at specific amounts for life sustenance. Phytochemicals in Vegetables: A Valuable Source of Bioactive Compounds presents information about the phytochemical (common and scarce) content of several cultivated vegetables, as well as their health and therapeutic effects based on in vitro, in vivo, animal and clinical studies. Chapters also cover recent research findings about their mode of action, bioavailabity, interactions with other biological matrices and pharmacokinetics. Moreover, the book gives special attention to the factors that may alter and modulate bioactive compound content, including both cultivation practices and post-harvest treatments that aim towards the production of high quality and healthy foods. Researchers, public health workers, consumers and members of the food industry will find this book to be a useful reference on the variety of phytochemicals present in vegetables.

Fruit and Vegetable Consumption and Health by Noboru Motohashi Pdf

It is becoming clear that incorporating vegetables and fruits into everyday meals is essential for human health maintenance from many experiments. Vegetables and fruits have been found to contain a variety of functional ingredients in addition to the three major nutrients. These functional ingredients are involved in digestive enzymatic degradation, detoxification and obesity prevention. This book mainly describes the effects, preventions and treatments of phytochemicals: Chapter 1: "Medicinal Phytochemicals (Dietary Fibers) and Health Effects in Fruits and Vegetables"; Chapter 2: "Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Bacteria: Diversity, Antibiotic Resistance and Their Possible Contribution to Gut Microbiota"; Chapter 3: "Fruits and Vegetables Consumption and Their Effects on Human Health: Current Research in Malaysia"; Chapter 4: "Fruit and Vegetable Consumption: A Case Study of Food Culture vis-à-vis Health Awareness among the Students of the University of Johannesburg, South Africa"; Chapter 5: "Eating Three Portions of Fruit per Day: The Role of Gender in the Theory of Planned Behaviour"; and Chapter 6: "New Design Solutions with an Inventive Step for the Chambers of Fruit and Vegetable Warehouses".
