This informative book offers a wide range of knowledge on the
technologies and applications of the cutting-edge field of
high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) in different areas of
analysis. HRMS has changed the nature of experimentation and
investigation in so many analytical realms. Determining exact mass
determination, high resolution, and specificity-via the special
features provided by HRMS instruments-is now possible for
determining the composition of the analyte of interest, both
qualitatively and quantitatively. High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry
and Its Diverse Applications: Cutting-Edge Techniques and
Instrumentation begins with an overview of the basic
instrumentation techniques and goes on to present research on
diverse new uses of HRMS in clinical testing, such as for
therapeutic drug designing, discovery, and development; in forensic
studies and investigations; in quality management systems; for
analysis of pesticides; for analysis of single cells; in analysis
of fossil fuels; for use in space and planetary science; and more.
Chapters relay how HRMS plays an important role in the structure
elucidation and unknown determination in many fields and is a great
measure to be used for quantitative analyses. The book considers
how these properties make the technique a strong aid in many areas.
This volume highlights how HRMS can be a useful tool for scientists
and researchers, faculty and students, and industry professionals
in many scientific areas of study.
Herbs, Spices and Their Roles in Nutraceuticals and Functional
Foods gives an overview of the many pharmacological activities
associated with herbs and spices, including detailed coverage on
their mechanisms and formulations for the food industry. Chapters
focus on key ingredients such as Curcuma longa, Piper Nigrum and
Trigonella foenum-graecum, with contributors across the globe
providing the latest research and advances for each. This is an
essential read for scientists who want to understand the
fundamental mechanisms behind the bioactive compounds within herbs
and spices. The numerous phytochemicals present in plant extracts
have multiple pharmacological activities so there is extensive
research into new bioactive compounds. The pharmacological
activities of herbs and spices have been thoroughly investigated,
and it is crucial that the latest research is organized into a
comprehensive resource.
Inflammation and Natural Products brings together research in the
area of the natural products and their anti-inflammatory action in
medical, nutraceutical and food products, addressing specific
chronic inflammatory diseases like cancer and the mechanistic
aspects of the mode of action of some key natural products.
Inflammation is a complicated process, driven by infection or
injury or genetic changes, which results in triggering signalling
cascades, activation of transcription factors, gene expression,
increased levels of inflammatory enzymes, and release of various
oxidants and pro-inflammatory molecules in inflammatory cells.
Excessive oxidants and inflammatory mediators have a harmful effect
on normal tissue, including toxicity, loss of barrier function,
abnormal cell proliferation, inhibiting normal function of tissues
and organs and finally leading to systemic disorders. The emerging
development of natural product formulations utilizing the unique
anti-inflammatory compounds such as polyphenols, polysaccharides,
terpenes, fatty acids, proteins and several other bioactive
components has shown notable successes. Inflammation and Natural
Products: Recent Development and Current Status provides a
comprehensive resource, ranging from detailed explanation on
inflammation to molecular docking strategies for naturally
occurring compounds with anti-inflammatory activity. It is useful
for graduate students, academic and professionals in the fields of
pharmaceutical and medical sciences and specialists from natural
product-related industries.
Biopolymers and Their Industrial Applications: From Plant, Animal,
and Marine Sources to Functional Products is a detailed guide to
the use of biopolymers for advanced applications across a range of
key industries. In terms of processing and cost, bio-based polymers
are becoming increasingly viable for an ever-broadening range of
novel industrial applications. The book begins with an overview of
biopolymers, explaining resources, demands, sustainability, life
cycle assessment (LCA) modeling and simulation, and
classifications. Further in-depth chapters explore the latest
techniques and methodologies for isolation and physicochemical
characterization, materials selection, and processing for blends
and composites. Chapters 6 to 14 each focus on the preparation and
applications of biopolymers in a specific industrial area,
including food science and nutraceuticals, medicine and
pharmaceuticals, textiles, cosmeceutical, packaging, adhesives and
automotive, 3D printing, super capacitor and energy storage
devices, and environmental applications. The final chapter compares
and analyzes biopolymers alongside synthetic polymers, also
offering valuable insight into social, economic, and environmental
aspects. This is an essential resource for those seeking to
understand, research, or utilize biopolymers in industrial
applications. This includes researchers, scientists, and advanced
students working in biopolymers, polymer science, polymer
chemistry, biomaterials, materials science, nanotechnology,
composites, and biotechnology. This is a highly valuable book for
scientists, R&D professionals, designers, and engineers across
multiple industries and disciplines, who are looking to utilize
biopolymers for components and products.
Ayurvedic Medicine, or Ayurveda, is a traditional Indian health
care system. Research into the medicinal plants utilised in
Ayurveda is becoming a global endeavour, and large pharmaceutical
companies are investing in novel drug discovery from Ayurvedic
sources as a number of clinical studies have demonstrated efficacy
of natural products from Ayurvedic plant extracts against common
ailments such as arthritis and diabetes. Ayurvedic medicine and its
components have been well described in the past, but this book
represents a comprehensive source on the biochemistry and
mechanisms of the pharmacological effects of natural products from
Ayurvedic sources. This book is a valuable resource for researchers
in natural products and alternative sources of bioactive compounds
in drug discovery, as well as pharmaceutical experts and those in
industry.
Turmeric belongs to the family Zingiberaceae and is a yellow spice
of high economic importance due to its medicinal value. Cultivated
in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world, it is used
extensively as a colouring, flavouring and preserving agent. In
recent years, several drugs derived from natural products have been
developed and current drug research is actively investigating the
possible therapeutic roles of many Ayurvedic medicines, most
notable among those being examined is turmeric. The wide range of
pharmacological activities attributed to turmeric come mainly from
curcuminoids and two related compounds, demethoxycurcumin and
bisdemethoxycurcumin. This comprehensive book brings together the
research carried out on constituents obtained from turmeric and
highlights their chemical and biological activities. Comprising 17
chapters, each written by experts in their respective field and
curated by authorities, it will be invaluable to all those who are
involved in the production, processing, marketing, and the use of
turmeric. Appealing to researchers and professionals in natural
products, nutraceuticals and food chemists, this book is exposing
some of the myths and showing areas for possible future use.
