The subject is multi-disciplinary with chemists, biochemists and plant scientists all contributing to our current understanding. In recent years there has been an upsurge in interest from other disciplines, related to the realisation that secondary metabolites are dietary components that may have a considerable impact on human health, and to the development of gene technology that permits modulation of the contents of desirable and undesirable components. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlant Secondary Metabolites: Occurrence, Structure and Role in the Human Diet\u003c\/i\u003e addresses this wider interest by covering the main groups of natural products from a chemical and biosynthetic perspective with illustrations of how genetic engineering can be applied to manipulate levels of secondary metabolites of economic value as well as those of potential importance in diet and health. These descriptive chapters are augmented by chapters showing where these products are found in the diet, how they are metabolised and reviewing the evidence for their beneficial bioactivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eAlan Crozier\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Plant Biochemistry and Human Nutrition in the Institute of Biomedical and Life Sciences at the University of Glasgow, UK, Mike Clifford is Professor of Food Safety in the School of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences at the University of Surrey, UK, and Hiroshi Ashihara is Professor of Plant Biochemistry in the Department of Biology at Ochanomizu University, Tokyo, Japan.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors to the book:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDr Michael H Beale\u003cbr\u003e Dr Kirsten Brandt\u003cbr\u003e Dr Lars P Christensen\u003cbr\u003e Dr Jennifer L Donovan\u003cbr\u003e Professor Peter J Facchini\u003cbr\u003e Dr Richard M Faulks\u003cbr\u003e Professor Glenn R Gibson\u003cbr\u003e Dr Andrew J Humphrey\u003cbr\u003e Dr Indu B Jaganath\u003cbr\u003e Dr Paul A Kroon\u003cbr\u003e Dr David K Liscombe\u003cbr\u003e Dr Claudine Manach\u003cbr\u003e Dr Serena Marks\u003cbr\u003e Professor Richard Mithen\u003cbr\u003e Dr Michael Saltmarsh\u003cbr\u003e Dr Kieran M Tuohy\u003cbr\u003e Dr Takao Yokota\u003cbr\u003e Dr Katherine G Zulak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 December 2006\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781405125093\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e386\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34.24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44315623555212,"sku":"9781405125093","price":264.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781405125093_33d26991-5ff5-44ea-a2eb-1a2d3de41c54.jpg?v=1780116837","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781405125093","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
