This volume summarizes current research on the influence of plant
polyphenols on human health, promoting collaboration between
chemists and biologists to improve our understanding of their
biological significance, and expanding the possibilities for their
use.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 3rd Tannin Conference,
held in July 1998, with the objective of promoting collaboration
between chemists and biologists to improve our understanding of the
biological significance of plant polyphenols and to expand
possibilities for their use. Special efforts were made to summarize
late-1990s research on the influence of these compounds on human
health. Some of the topics included are: hydrolyzable tannins;
condensed tannins and related compounds; biotechnology; antioxidant
properties and heart disease; conformation, complexation, and
antimicrobial properties; polyphenols and cancer; polyphenols in
commerce; polyphenols and ecology. A comparison of the
contributions to the proceedings of the first, second, and third of
these conferences shows important growth in the recognition of the
significance of these compounds on the part of biologists and
biochemists and increasing relevance in medically-oriented
disciplines.
