Plant polyphenols are secondary metabolites that constitute oneof the most common and widespread groups of natural products. Theyexpress a large and diverse panel of biological activitiesincluding beneficial effects on both plants and humans. Manypolyphenols, from their structurally simplest representatives totheir oligo/polymeric versions (also referred to as vegetabletannins) are notably known as phytoestrogens, plant pigments,potent antioxidants, and protein interacting agents.

Produktbeschreibung
Plant polyphenols are secondary metabolites that constitute oneof the most common and widespread groups of natural products. Theyexpress a large and diverse panel of biological activitiesincluding beneficial effects on both plants and humans. Manypolyphenols, from their structurally simplest representatives totheir oligo/polymeric versions (also referred to as vegetabletannins) are notably known as phytoestrogens, plant pigments,potent antioxidants, and protein interacting agents.

Sponsored by the scholarly society Groupe Polyphénols, thispublication, which is the fourth volume in this highly regarded Recent Advances in Polyphenol Research series, is edited byAnnalisa Romani, Vincenzo Lattanzio, and Stéphane Quideau.They have once again, like their predecessors, put together animpressive collection of cutting-edge chapters written by expertscientists, internationally respected in their respective field ofpolyphenol sciences. This Volume 4 highlights some of the latestinformation and opinion on the following major research topicsabout polyphenols:

- Biosynthesis and genetic manipulation
- Ecological role of polyphenols in plant defense
- Actions of polyphenols in human health protection
- Physical organic chemistry and organic synthesis

Chemists, biochemists, plant scientists, pharmacognosists andpharmacologists, biologists, ecologists, food scientists andnutritionists will all find this book an invaluable resource.Libraries in all universities and research institutions where thesedisciplines are studied and taught should have copies on theirbookshelves.

Autorenporträt
Annalisa Romani, board member of the ' Groupe Polyphénols ' (2008-2014), is Professor of Food Sciences and Technologies at the University of Florence, Italy. Her research laboratory is specialized in analytical, structural determination and biological activities of plant polyphenols, with a recent focus on food supplement and innovative extraction green technologies for the recovery of purified molecules as bio-phenols. Vincenzo Lattanzio, former President of the ' Groupe Polyphénols ' (2004-2008), is full Professor of Plant Biochemistry and Physiology at the University of Foggia (Italy). His research interest concerns studies of the role of phenolic compounds in resistance mechanisms of plant tissues against biotic and abiotic stresses, with a recent focus on trade-off mechanism between growth rate and adaptive response of plant tissues under nutritional stress. Stéphane Quideau, former President of the Groupe Polyphénols (2008-2012), is full Professor of Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry at the University of Bordeaux, France. His research laboratory is specialized in plant polyphenol chemistry and chemical biology, with a focus on the studies of ellagitannin chemical reactivity and synthesis, and interactions of bioactive polyphenols with their protein targets.
