Nature endows us with a treasure chest of Green Gold full of
amazing 'redox-active' substances which interfere with numerous
biological processes in our own body, in animals, bacteria, fungi
and plants. Whilst such natural products are all around and also in
us, we still do not fully understand how these compounds actually
work. This book attempts to resolve some of the mysteries and
riddles associated with such products. Written by more than thirty
international experts from academia and industry, it places a focus
on modern developments in this field and considers such natural
products from various angles, from their isolation and
characterization all along to product development and
commercialization. Throughout, the reader will be confronted with
modern approaches which enable the efficient identification and
isolation of new natural products, help to elucidate their mode(s)
of action and permit practical uses in Medicine, Cosmetics,
Agriculture, Industry and as functional foods.
