Description and Table of Contents

Description

Examines the sources of phenoic antioxidants. Covers the chemical and biological activities of phenolic compounds in food and their health effects, especially the biological properties of phenolic compounds on the modulation of tumor development in experimental animal models, and possibly in humans. Explores favonoids, green tea, and other phenolic compounds and cancer prevention. Together with Phenolic Compounds in Food and Their Effects on Health I, the volumes represent the most up-to-date studies of the antioxidative and anticarcinogenic activities of phenolic compounds in food.
