Description du livre
This book provides an overview of the state of our understanding regarding the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds from plant and microbial sources. Additionally, examples of how these compounds have been used in food, agriculture, and human health are provided, as well as the biotechnological approach for screening and characterizing bioactive compounds.
In the pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and agrochemicals industries, bioactive molecules are crucial to the production of high-value products. The discovery of bioactive chemicals from diverse sources has supported their use as medications, functional food ingredients, herbicides, and insecticides due to their medicinal advantages, nutritional importance, and protective impacts in healthcare and agriculture. The systematic investigation of biologically active products and the prospective biological activities of these bioactive compounds, comprising their medical uses, standardization, quality control, mode of action, and possible biomolecular interactions, are among the greatest sensational expansions in modern natural medication and healthcare.
This book is a useful resource for graduate and undergraduate biomedical chemistry and agriculture students who are interested in learning more about the possibilities of bioactive natural products. This book is useful to researchers in a variety of scientific domains where natural products are important.
