As populations in many developed countries age and the burden of
chronic disease increases, there remains a need to establish
effective preventative measures. Fruit and vegetables are a natural
source of vitamins and minerals which can contribute to good
health. Understanding and optimising the nutraceutical properties
of fruit and vegetables reviews the associated health benefits of
key horticultural crops, including apples, broccoli and
cranberries. The book provides authoritative discussions on the
nutraceutical properties of the major phytochemical compounds,
including antioxidants and flavonoids, and how these properties can
be optimised to prevent the onset of chronic diseases. By providing
a comprehensive insight into the human health benefits of fruit and
vegetables, the book highlights the emergence of a more
sustainable, alternative method to preventing the onset of disease
with less reliance on overburdened healthcare systems.
