Traditionally perceived as a high-fat, high-calorie food best
avoided or consumed only in moderation, tree nuts have come into
their own. Recent epidemiological and clinical studies provide
evidence that frequent nut consumption is associated with favorable
plasma lipid profiles, reduced risk of coronary heart disease,
certain types of cancer, stroke, atherosclerosis, type-2 diabetes,
inflammation, and several other chronic diseases. Drawing on
contributions from experts based in industry and academia Tree
Nuts: Composition, Phytochemicals, and Health discusses the results
of state-of-the-art research on different aspects of tree nut
compositions, phytochemicals, and their health effects. Explore New
Research on Health Effects of Tree Nuts The book examines popular
tree nuts, together with chestnut and heart nut, and describes each
one's compositional and lipid characteristics, phytochemicals, and
health effects. It also briefly examines the chemical composition
of acorn nut, beech nut, coconut, and hickory. The volume provides
a comprehensive assessment of allergens and anti-aflatoxigenic
activity of phytochemicals, and sphingolipids and health benefits
of tree nuts as well as their flavor and volatile compounds. The
contributors include coverage of the bioactives and phytochemicals
of tree nut by-productswhen the information is available. Complete,
Comprehensive, and Up-to-Date Coverage With its distinguished,
international panel of contributors and expert editorial guidance,
this book provides coverage that is both comprehensive and
authoritative. The information presented is an excellent starting
point for further research into the uses, processing, and marketing
of tree nuts and tree nut by-products.
