This book provides the current status, research advances,
challenges and opportunities of hemp products along with
recommendations for future research. The surge in demand is fueling
a global Green Rush, even in countries where a legal market for
hemp products was unthinkable just a few years ago. The hemp market
is growing globally and its products (fiber, food, medicine,
etc.)Â are overwhelmingly accepted by the customers. With
increasing market demand for more natural and greener products, the
revolutionizing potential of hemp and its products
in changing economy plays a major role. Moreover,
considering their high demand and development of new varieties for
producing raw material of need, breeding tools provide an effective
means of development of varieties. This book aims to highlight the
revolutionizing potential of hemp and its products in changing the
economy, current status, and challenges. In addition, it provides
the multi-functional and multi-industrial potential of hemp.
Himalayan Fruits and Berries: Bioactive Compounds, Uses and
Nutraceutical Potential presents nutraceutical fruits and berries
from the Himalayan region and highlights their potential use in
nutraceutical products. Beginning with the introduction of the
Himalayan region and its wild fruits, this book explores various
kinds of wild fruits and berries. It includes coverage of
traditional, ethnomedicinal, and local uses of potential
nutraceutical fruits and analyzes their distribution, availability,
and cultivation methods. The book also provides a detailed summary
of clinical studies and presents "from field to industry" case
studies. Wild fruits and berries play an important role in
mitigating hunger in the developing world, and these fruits are
consumed either in whole or extracted for use in nutraceutical
production. Nutrition researchers, food scientists, food chemists,
plant scientists, pharmacologists, as well as students or
researchers working in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries
exploring the use of Himalayan wild berries and fruits as new
components and sources in nutraceuticals will benefit from this
book.
This book compiles updated information about the role and health
benefits of various bioactives in food. Different chapters are
contributed by academicians, food scientists, technologists, and
medical practitioners. The book addresses both theoretical and
applied aspects of bioactive components and provides exhaustive
knowledge about bioactive components. It comprises 27 chapters
organized into 4 major sections covering topics in food science and
technology, functional foods, and nutraceuticals. It provides
perspectives for innovation, sources, applications, and
sustainability in bioactive component research. The first section
starts with introduction of bioactive components consisting of
seven different chapters primarily focusing on the bioactive
components and their sources with respective health benefits. The
second section, comprising five different chapters, deals with
different technological trends, regulations, and safety aspects of
bioactive components. With eight chapters, the third section covers
the role of bioactive components in human health and the role of
functional foods in combating various health-related issues. The
fourth section reviews functional foods through six chapters that
cover the use of bioactive components in various food products. The
book will prove useful to advanced food technology graduate and
undergraduate students and research scholars, practicing food
technologists in food and related industries, entrepreneurs,
food-pharma researchers, and other scientists seeking information
about smart and sustainable processes as well as information needed
to design and develop these processes.
This book collects information about the most popular
ethnomedicinal plants, which are common in Turkey and around the
world. It presents the ethnopharmacological records, in vivo and in
vitro studies, side effects, chemical compositions and clinical
studies of these medicinal plants. Its special focus is on the
novel drug targets for disease and their possible mechanisms of
action. It covers botanical descriptions the status of the plants,
and food or drug interactions including precautions and warnings
about the plants and the available market products. It provides an
explanation of recorded and known plant administration dosages.
Also, the gap between the traditional practice and
scientific/clinical evidences in the use of ethnomedicinal plant is
acknowledged. It is well known that traditional knowledge of the
use of the medicinal plants in therapy is an important resource for
the discovery of novel treatment options and drug targets. The main
purpose of this book is to draw attention to ethnomedicinal plant
species. Data on the therapeutic potentials of these medicinal
plants can now be accessed from a single source. It provides an
important resource for future research opportunities for harnessing
the full potential of these plants.

Naturally Occurring Chemicals against Alzheimer's Disease offers a
detailed discussion on the roles, molecular mechanisms, structural
activity relationships, toxicology and clinical data on
phytochemicals in relation to Alzheimer's disease. The book
examines the available phytochemicals and plants that are
potentially effective, also determining the role and molecular
targets of these phytochemicals in combating AD. This comprehensive
resource will be helpful to researchers who are working on herbal
drugs on AD, phytochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, clinical
trials, neuroscience and advancement in formulations.
