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.

This new book, Advances in Flavonoids for Human Health and Prevention of Diseases, offers an important overview of advances in flavonoids for their potential applications. The chapters explore the applications and characteristics of polyphenol (flavonoids) derivatives for human health and in the management and prevention of diseases. Various flavonoids such as tea flavonoids, vegetable flavonoids, berry flavonoids, cocoa flavonoids, and citrus flavonoids are explored in detail.

Chapters examine the nutritional and pharmacological properties of polyphenols and flavonoids, including their ability to prevent the start and development of diseases and how they aid in the management of several chronic pathological illnesses, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neuro-degenerative illness and aging, pregnancy-induced disorders, and others. Also discussed in depth are the properties, classes, and degrees that formulate a compound and which subsequently support the development of drugs/products with health benefits.

Topics also include the benefits of natural food dyes (such as anthocyanidins and anthocyanins) as nutraceuticals and their functions, how flavonoid-rich diets are good for better health and help to prevent chronic noncommunicable diseases, the neuroprotective effects of flavonoids, and much more.

Advances in Flavonoids for Human Health and Prevention of Diseases sheds new light on the value of the diverse group of phytonutrients found in almost all fruits and vegetables. The book should interest nutritional and pharmaceutical researchers and drug developers, medical practitioners, and many others.
