Research Anthology on Recent Advancements in Ethnopharmacology and Nutraceuticals
Author: Management Association, Information Resources
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1668435470
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 1263
Book Description
For hundreds of years, indigenous populations have developed drugs based on medicinal plants. Many practitioners, especially advocates of traditional medicine, continue to support the use of plants and functional foods as methods by which many ailments can be treated. With relevance around the world as a complementary and alternative medicine, advancements for the use of both ethnopharmacology and nutraceuticals in disease must continually be explored, especially as society works to combat chronic illnesses, increasingly resilient infectious diseases, and pain management controversies. The Research Anthology on Recent Advancements in Ethnopharmacology and Nutraceuticals discusses the advancements made in herbal medicines and functional foods that can be used as alternative medical treatments for a variety of illness and chronic diseases. The anthology will further explain the benefits that they provide as well as the possible harm they may do without proper research on the subject. Covering topics such as food additives, dietary supplements, and physiological benefits, this text is an important resource for dieticians, pharmacists, doctors, nurses, medical professionals, medical students, hospital administrators, researchers, and academicians.

Recent Advances in Biotechnological Applications of Microbial Secondary Metabolites
Author: Paola Angelini
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832555772
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Microbial Secondary Metabolites (SMs) are low molecular weight compounds produced during secondary metabolism. The majority are produced by specific groups of microorganisms under environmental stress conditions, including; nutrient deficiencies, pH, temperature, and metal ions concentrations. Many reported SMs are categorized as antibiotics, pigments, toxins, pheromones, enzyme inhibitors, antitumor agents, immunomodulators, receptor antagonists and agonists, animal and plant growth promoters, and pesticides. Their synthesis is regulated by a group of genes residing on the chromosomal DNA/plasmid DNA known as Biosynthetic Gene Clusters (BGCs). Moreover, their metabolic pathways are complex and controlled by many regulating factors, thus needing to be studied from an enzymatic, regulatory, and differentiation perspective. Due to their structural diversity, SMs have a wide range of biotechnological applications in the agricultural, health, industrial, and environmental sectors. Hence, they have a great potential to positively impact health, nutrition, and the economy on a global scale. The main goal of this Research Topic is to highlight current research exploring microbial SMs and their potential future applications in the agricultural, pharmaceutical, industrial, and environmental sectors. Microbes have proved to be a reliable source of SM production, with high structural diversity and product yields. However, there are several challenges to reliable SM production, including; the regulation of cultural conditions, development of industrial strains, and product yield. Such challenges can be mitigated to some extent through exploring non-conventional microbial sources, chemical and biological modifications, metagenomics, and genome mining approaches. Additionally, genetic engineering techniques can improve microbial strain characteristics, product yield, and generate novel molecules. Furthermore, microbial co-culture methods have been praised for increasing the yields and improving the structural diversity of the product, as well as advances in computational strategies enabling the identification of BGCs in genome sequences and the prediction of chemical product structures. Nevertheless, there remains significant potential to identify novel and industrially important SMs.

Author: JUCKER
Publisher: Birkhäuser
ISBN: 3034871023
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
Volume 22 of 'Progress in Drug Research' contains 8 contributions from vari ous areas of drug research and therapy. As in previous volumes, in the present volume the authors have also tried not only to summarize the current status of particular fields of drug research, but also to provide leads for future research activity. The various contributions in this volume will be of especial value not only to those actively concerned in resolving the diverse problems in drug research, but also to those who wish to keep abreast of the latest developments influencing modem therapy. In addition, it is believed that volume 22 and the previous 21 volumes of 'Progress in Drug Research' so far published represent a useful reference work of an encyclopaedic character. The editor would also like to take this opportunity of expressing his gratitude to those who reviewed the previous volumes of this series of monographs and, by doing so gave useful advice for the future volumes. At the same time, thanks are expressed to Dr. A. Naf for carefully working over the manuscripts and correcting proofs. Thanks are also due to the publishers and the printers, Druckerei Birkhauser, especially to Messrs. Th. Birkhauser and C. Einsele. Unfortunately, this is the last volume which went into ptess during Dr. A. Birkhauser's lifetime; he passed away on March 4, 1978 and the editor would like to stress the fact'tl;tat.

Recent Advances in Stored Product Protection
Author: Christos G. Athanassiou
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3662561255
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
This book aims to assess, evaluate and critically analyze the methods that are currently available for a judicious pest management in durable food. It presents and analyzes a vast amount of methods that are already in use in “real world” industrial applications. After the phase-out of methyl bromide, but also the withdrawal of several insecticides and the continuously updated food safety regulations, there is a significant knowledge gap on the use of risk-reduced, ecologically-compatible control methods that can be used with success against stored-product insect species and related arthropods. The importance of integrated pest management (IPM) is growing, but the concept as practiced for stored products might differ from IPM as historically developed for field crops. This book discusses a wide variety of control strategies used for stored product management and describes some of the IPM components. The editors included chemical and non-chemical methods, as both are essential in IPM. They set the scene for more information regarding emerging issues in stored product protection, such as emerging, alien and invasive species as threats for global food security, as well as the importance of stored-product arthropods for human health. Finally, the analysis of the economics of stored product protection is presented, from theory to practice.
