From Book News, Inc.
This book presents papers from a September 2001 meeting held at the Norwich Research Park, UK. Papers examine the biosynthesis and significance of phytochemicals, their analysis, and their biological activity, with special attention to their antioxidant properties. They also discuss the influence of structure and processing on bioavailability. Specific topics include investigation of biological significance of soyasaponins using monoclonal antibodies, natural modulators of anxiety and sleep disturbances in food, biogenic amines in sauerkraut, occurrence of carotenoid esters in vegetables and fruits, and the use of liposomes to assess activity of natural antioxidants. Pfannhauser is affiliated with the Institute of Food Chemistry and Technology at Graz University of Technology.
