Biological and Pharmacological Properties of the Genus Moringa

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Heredia J. Basilio, Gutierrez-Grijalva Erick P.

Couverture de l’ouvrage Biological and Pharmacological Properties of the Genus Moringa

There is an increasing interest in plants of the Moringa genus used as a source of phytochemicals with biopharmaceutical potential, as a functional ingredient in many products and as an additive in poultry feeding stocks. Biological and Pharmacological Properties of the Genus Moringa is the first publication to comprehensively assess the latest research on Moringa studies. This book reviews recent studies covering the botanical, agronomical, genomic, biotechnological, and ethnopharmacological aspects. It presents specialized work in a user-friendly way that will appeal to undergraduates, graduates and researchers primarily in ethnopharmacology, functional foods and with a linkage to veterinary treatments.

Key Features:

  • Describes the ethnopharmacological and ethnobotanical use of plants from all Moringa species
  • Presents recent information that will be helpful for the future development of biopharmaceuticals
  • Reviews the phytochemical content from all Moringa species
  • Assesses the potential of all Moringa species as a functional ingredient
