AAP Advances in Nutraceuticals
Recently, there has been an upsurge of interest in the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants, which might be due to their phenolic compounds, specifically flavonoids. Flavonoids are a group of phenolic compounds that have pharmacological properties and are mostly found in stems, fruits, vegetables, bark, grains, and roots of plants. Researchers are interested in these natural compounds because of their potential as antidepressants and immune boosters and for their antioxidant, antimitogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Despite the fact that the book brought together 41 different authors (with very different writing styles), AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “As the author of a two-volume book on nanotechnologies, I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press. They provided me with regular and useful information and updates throughout the publishing procedure. I am also very happy with the final product, which is of good quality. The books are now available and are professionally distributed through the various channels.
