This new book deals with recent advanced research on natural
products and health-promoting foods that work to reduce the risk of
diseases while enhancing overall well-being. Plant-based functional
foods are known to contain compounds (also referred to as
phytochemicals) in the leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits of
certain plants. These plant products are drawing the attention of
researchers because of their demonstrated beneficial effects
against disease, particularly diabetes, hypertension, cancer,
neurodegenerative diseases, among others. The medicinal and
nutritional use of plant secondary metabolites is a hot topic and
has been receiving extensive attention from both health
professionals and the public. This book presents new information on
the extraction of bioactive compounds from plants, plant-based
drugs, and the innovative use of plant-based drugs for human
health.
