Bioactive Compounds in Underutilized Vegetables and Legumes: Bioactive Compounds in Underutilized Vegetables and Legumes

Editat de Hosakatte Niranjana Murthy, Kee Yoeup Paek
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 iul 2021

Sub coordonarea editorilor Hosakatte Niranjana Murthy și Kee Yoeup Paek, volumul Bioactive Compounds in Underutilized Vegetables and Legumes reprezintă o contribuție esențială la literatura de specialitate, fiind fundamentat pe cercetări riguroase în domeniul fitochimiei. Observăm că autorii, ambii experți recunoscuți în biotehnologia plantelor, au reușit să consolideze date disparate despre specii vegetale care, deși bogate în nutrienți, rămân în afara circuitului agricol industrial masiv.

Această primă ediție publicată de Springer în 2021 se distinge printr-o organizare taxonomică și funcțională precisă. Structura cărții este împărțită în 9 secțiuni majore, care ghidează cititorul prin categorii precum legumele frunzoase, lăstarii, scoarța, fructele necoapte și leguminoasele medicinale. Fiecare capitol debutează cu un articol de sinteză despre specia respectivă, urmat de o analiză detaliată a compușilor bioactivi și a beneficiilor farmacologice documentate. Cititorii familiarizați cu Phytochemicals in Vegetables and their Therapeutic Properties de C.K. Narayana vor aprecia faptul că acest volum nu se rezumă la culturile comerciale comune, ci extinde spectrul de analiză către plantele neglijate, oferind o perspectivă strategică asupra securității alimentare și a noilor resurse terapeutice.

În contextul operei editorului Hosakatte Niranjana Murthy, această lucrare completează seria de referință care include titluri precum Bioactive Compounds in the Storage Organs of Plants sau Bioactive Compounds in Edible Flowers. Dacă lucrările anterioare se concentrau pe organe specifice de stocare sau pe flori, volumul de față lărgește cadrul către întreg ecosistemul legumelor și leguminoaselor subutilizate, menținând rigoarea științifică specifică seriei Reference Series in Phytochemistry.

De ce să citești această carte

Această lucrare este o resursă academică de prim rang pentru biologi, farmaciști și tehnologi alimentari. Cititorul câștigă acces la date sistematizate despre plante cu potențial terapeutic uriaș, adesea ignorate de industria globală. Este un instrument indispensabil pentru cei care doresc să exploreze noi surse de antioxidanți și compuși bioactivi în contextul nutriției sustenabile și al dezvoltării de noi fitofarmaceutice.


Despre autor

Hosakatte Niranjana Murthy este un cercetător proeminent și profesor, recunoscut pentru expertiza sa în biotehnologia plantelor și fitochimie. A editat numeroase volume în cadrul seriei „Reference Series in Phytochemistry”, concentrându-se pe izolarea și caracterizarea compușilor bioactivi din diverse surse vegetale. Kee Yoeup Paek este un colaborator constant, specializat în culturi de țesuturi vegetale și producția de metaboliți secundari. Împreună, aceștia au coordonat lucrări fundamentale care fac legătura între biologia plantelor, farmacognozie și aplicațiile industriale ale produselor naturale.


Descriere scurtă

This reference work provides a comprehensive overview of bioactive compounds found in underutilized vegetables and legumes around the globe. It describes their pharmacological, biological and health effects in detail, and provides a strategic framework for further research and global development activities.
Using a consistent structure and divided into 9 parts based on the plant source, the book reviews bioactive compounds in various plant species. Each part opens with a leading article discussing the respective plant species.
This book is a valuable reference resource for plant biologists and biotechnologists, pharmacologists, pharmacists, food technologists, nutritionists and other health professions working in academia and industry.

Notă biografică

Hosakatte Niranjana Murthy, professor in the PostGraduate Department of Botany, Karnatak University, Dharwad, India, has obtained his Ph.D. degree from Karnatak University, India. He has a tremendous passion for research and academics. Since 1986, he has served various positions in the Post-Graduate Department of Botany, Karnatak University, Dharwad, India. Apart from his teaching experience of 35 years, he possesses extensive research experience in the area of plant biotechnology. He has postdoctoral and collaborative research experience in many foreign research institutes. Professor Murthy has worked at Biotechnology Division, Tata Energy Research Institute, New Delhi, India (1992); Crop Science Department, University of Guelph, Guelph, Canada (1993); Research Centre for the Development of Horticultural Technology, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, South Korea (2000–2001; 2002; 2004, 2006–2007, 2013– 2014); and Department of Biological Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom (2005–2006), as a postdoctoral fellow/visiting scientist.
