Plant secondary metabolites are organic compounds that are required for the plant to survive by fighting off herbivores, pests, and pathogens. These plant secondary metabolites have been used since early times in various medicines and food products for beneficial health purposes and are still relevant and popular today. This new book of Plant Secondary Metabolites provides an abundance of valuable information on secondary metabolites, their health properties and possibilities and their extraction and application methods.
This book offer comprehensive studies and covers the structurally diverse secondary metabolites of medicinal herbs including their biochemistry, enthnopharmacological properties and biological activity. Secondary metabolites of medicinal herbs are a treasure trove of novel compounds with potential therapeutic applications.
