About this title

Synopsis

Polyphenols make a vital contribution to the colour, tanning, taste and astringency of so many of society's favourites - from the unique taste of the British cup of tea to a glass of red wine. Found widely in many foods of plant origin, polyphenols are also becoming increasingly recognised as antioxidants in the body, with action on long-term health and reduction in the risk of chronic disease. Due to the importance of polyphenols, it is vital to conduct accurate and sensitive analysis. Providing detailed state-of-the-art research, presented in a practical and effective way, Methods in Polyphenol Analysis looks at the latest techniques in this developing field and includes, among others: New modern techniques, such as LC-MS, LC-NMR and LC-coulometric detection; Chemical and enzymatic synthesis of polyphenol conjugates; and Characterization of oligomeric and polymeric tannins and complex polyphenols. This timely publication is written by highly experienced practitioners in this field and will be invaluable to all academics and industrialists involved in phytochemistry, biochemistry and food science.

Review

"... high quality book that contains much more than a straight forward catalogue of the methods used in purify and identify polyphenols ... The book is an essential reference for anyone working on the analysis of polyphenols, it is an extremely rich source of information for the experienced investigator and even more so for new comers to the field. It is a book which will be consulted routinely (my copy is already "well-thumbed") and not one that gathers dust, unused on the top shelf of a bookcase." (Phytochemistry, 64, 2003, p 1172)

"This book is a must-have for anyone who analysis polyphenols in plants, foods and human samples; it will be their analytical manual." (Chemistry & Industry, Issue 1, 2004 p 18-19)

"... an excellent addition to the literature on polyphenol chemistry ... a must-read for natural products chemists, food scientists, and pharmacologists with interests in the chemistry of flavonoid polyphenols and their role in nutrition-health relationships. " (Angewandte Chemie International, Vol 43, No 4, 16 January 2004, p 393-394)

"... this is a timely book of enormous interest for academics and industrialists involved in phytochemistry, biochemistry and food science. " (Analyst Website, 2003 (www.rsc.org/is/journals/current/analyst/books03.htm))

"... an important and useful contribution to the analysis of these significant components of foodstuffs and can be recommended to those working in this area. " (Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, Vol 689, Iss 4, 16 February 2004, p 884)

"... a valuable reference book for upper-division students and researchers in such diverse areas as food chemistry, metabolic profiling, synthesis of natural products, and the tracking of intermediates in biological samples. " (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol 125, No 125, No 47, 2003)
