This perennially bestselling dictionary provides nutritionists, food scientists, and researchers with access to routinely needed information, including structural formulae, on plant constituents. It profiles over 3000 substances from phenolics and alkaloids through carbohydrates and plant glycosides to oils and triterpenoids. For each substance, the editors present its trivial name, synonyms, structural type, chemical structure showing stereochemistry, molecular weight and formula, as well as its natural occurrence, biological activity and both its common and commercial uses. Key references are provided for each class and subclass.
