| Sumario: | "Recent epidemiological and clinical studies suggest that herbs and spices, which are well-known sources of bioactive phytochemicals, also have specific health benefits, including anti-diabetic properties, the ability to stimulate digestion, and as anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories. However, herbs and spices are perishable items: to preserve them for export and/or storage, they are often processed prior to consumption, which could affect their physico-chemical and biological properties. This book will provide a comprehensive overview of the health benefits, analytical techniques used and effects of processing upon the physico-chemical properties of herbs and spices. The book will open with a section on the technological and health benefits of herbs and spices. The second part will review the effect of classical and novel processing techniques on the properties of herbs/spices. The third section will examine extraction techniques and analytical methodologies used for herbs and spices. Contributors from both academia and industry will provide informed perspectives"-- |
