Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry (Volume 2)

he second edition of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry - Volume II is marked with addition of two new chapters, namely, Value of Natural Products and Chemotaxonomy, following the steadfast development in these areas. The food pharmaceuticals and dietary supplement industries have started delivering phytochemicals or extracts in the form of functional foods. A greater coverage has thus been given to this rapidly emerging area of Nutraceuticals. Some of the important but uncommon topics such as Natural sweeteners, Natural colours and dyes, and Pesticides of natural origin have been reviewed in detail as they have received emphasis in the last few decades.
