This new book, Plant- and Marine- Based Phytochemicals for Human Health: Attributes, Potential, and Use, provides insight with scientific evidence on the use of medicinal plants in the treatment of certain diseases. It describes bioactive compounds of marine and plant origin that have been discovered to be advantageous for human health, shedding new light on the potential of phytochemicals on human health and contributing to the ocean of knowledge on phytochemistry and pharmaceutical biology. In addition, the role of plant-based pharmaceuticals is also discussed as an example of innovative uses of plant product.

This book addresses the importance of phytochemicals from plants and marine life. It divided in four parts:

• Bioactive compounds in medicinal plants: status and potential
• Plant-based pharmaceuticals in human health: review
• Therapeutic attributes of mushroom, cereal grains, and legumes
• Innovative use of medicinal plants

This compendium will be useful for the students and researchers as well as for industry professionals working in the food, nutraceuticals, and herbal industries.

The objective of this new book series is to offer academia, engineers, tech- nologists, and users from different disciplines information to gain knowl- edge on the breadth and depth of this multifaceted field. The volumes will explore the fields of phytochemistry, along with its potential and extrac- tion techniques. The volumes will discuss the therapeutic perspectives of biochemical compounds in plants and animal and marine sources in an interdisciplinary manner because the field requires knowledge of many areas, including agricultural, food, and chemical engineering; manufac- turing technology along with applications from diverse fields like chem- istry; herbal drug technology; microbiology; animal husbandry; and food science; etc. There is an urgent need to explore and investigate the innova- tions, current shortcomings, and future challenges in this growing area of research.

We welcome chapters on the following specialty areas (but not limited to):

• Food and function
• Nutritional composition of different foods materials
• Functional and nutraceutical perspectives of foods
• Extraction of bioactive molecules
• Phytomedicinal properties of different plants
• Traditional plants used as functional foods
• Phytopharmacology of plants used in metabolic disorders
• Importance of spices and medicinal and functional foods
• Natural products chemistry
• Food processing waste/byproducts: management and utilization
• Herbals as potential bioavailability enhancer and herbal cosmetics
• Phytopharmaceuticals for the delivery of bioactives
• Alternative and complementary medicines
• Ethnopharmacology and ethnomedicine
• Marine phytochemistry
• Marine microbial chemistry
• Other related areas include nuts, seed spices, wild flora, etc.
