Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: USA; CRC Press, 2006Edition: 1st.Description: 320p.ISBN: 1574445081 (hardcover); 9781574445084 (hardcover).Subject(s): Phytoestrogens | Functional Foods | Food Science and Human nutritionDDC classification: 615.321 Yildiz 20670 1st 2006 Food.Science Summary: Polyphenol phytoestrogens – bioactives found in specific foods and beverages – impart antioxidant, phytoestrogenic, antiproliferative, and enzyme modulating activities within the human metabolic system. It is believed that these compounds protect against several forms of cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, osteoporosis, and menopausal symptoms. While there has been a rise in polyphenol research over the past few years resulting from this discovery, there has not been a thorough, single source guide that synthesizes and explains the attained information – until now . Phytoestrogens in Functional Foods comprehensively details the scientific, technical, and practical aspects involved in the production, consumption, and safety of phytoestrogens in foods. The book is divided into five parts for easy reference. Section I, Production , introduces the topic of phytoestrogens and addresses the biosynthesis of polyphenol phytoestrogens in plants, and the chemistry and mechanism of action of phytoestrogens. Section II, Consumption , explains pharmacokinetics, body composition, and cell signaling. Section III, Risk and Benefit Analysis , examines reproductive hormones in females, hormone replacement therapy, and the benefits and risks associated with phytoestrogens. Section IV, Optimization and Utilization , discusses soy isoflavones and health, while Section V, Applications , explains wine antioxidants and phytoestrogens. While extensive investigation of these topics has led to many conflicting reports about their risks and benefits, this text provides answers and insight on the major questions regarding the core areas of polyphenol rese
