Phytonutrients in Food From Traditional to Rational Usage
Coordonnateurs : Nabavi Seyed Mohammad, Suntar Ipek, Barreca Davide, Khan Haroon
Phytonutrients in Food: From Traditional to Rational Usage offers an overview of phytonutrients and reveals techniques related to the extraction, separation, identification and quantification of these compounds. The book focuses on the connection between the discovery and characterization of new molecules, explores new applications of well-known compounds and their relative effects for human health, analyses the processes of extraction, identification and production, and explains the protocols and precautions to avoid degradation, significant loss, or production of secondary reactions during production. Intended for researchers, product developers, nutritionists, food chemists, pharmacologists, pharmacists and students studying these topics, this book provides an invaluable reference.

Dr. Ipek Suntar is an Associate Professor at the Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey. She got her bachelors, M.Sc. and PhD. degrees from the same university. She conducted a part of her PhD. studies in University of Wolverhampton, UK, by obtaining scholarship from Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK). Her research field mainly focuses on the investigation of the in vivo wound healing, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, anti-endometriotic and anti-urolithiatic activities of the natural sources used in traditional medicine through biological activity-guided fractionation and isolation assays. She has published 60 scientific articles (SCI and SCI-exp. indexed) and 10 book chapters. She is a member of Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research (GA), Phytochemical Society of Europe (PSE) and Association for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of Southeast European Countries (AMAPSEEC). She received many awards including Scientist Training Group Scholarships for master and doctorate programs provided by TUBITAK; Scientific Encouragement Award-2014 given by Pharmacy Academy, Association of Turkish Pharmacists; Patent Encouragement Award of Gazi University; The Best Oral/Poster Presentation Awards in scientific meetings worldwide.
