Excellent- More about Analytical Methods in the Determination of Bioactive Compounds and Elements in Food
Bioactive compounds have antioxidant activity, such as tocochromanols, phenolics, methylxantines, and capsaicinoids. Selenium compounds and indoleamins are components of antioxidant enzymes, which show immunomodulatory, antiphlogistic, and antiviral activity. Capsaicinoids possess antioxidant, antibacterial, analgesic, weight-reducing, and thermoregulation properties. Analytical Methods in the Determination of Bioactive Compounds and Elements in Food explores the influence of these compounds on human health and the methods used for their determination.

Most bioactive compounds possess antioxidant activity, particularly tocochromanols, phenolics (flavonoids and phenolic acids), methylxantines, and capsaicinoids. Some of these compounds exhibit additional properties crucial for human health. For instance, vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, shielding cells from oxidative stress, but it also serves non-antioxidant functions, such as cell signaling and antiproliferation. Selenium compounds and indoleamines are integral components of antioxidant enzymes. Selenium facilitates the acquisition of vitamin E and regulates its physiological functions. By participating in enzymatic reactions and safeguarding cells against free radicals, selenium demonstrates immunomodulatory, antiphlogistic, and antiviral activity. Capsaicinoids possess not only antioxidant but also antibacterial, analgesic, weight-reducing, and thermoregulation properties. Studies have also revealed their gastroprotective and anticancer properties.
Analytical Methods in the Determination of Bioactive Compounds and Elements in Food delves into the influence of specific compounds on human health and the techniques employed for their determination. Chapters encompass diverse aspects of food and plant analysis, including chromatographic and non-chromatographic approaches, as well as hyphenated techniques. This book aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the significant groups of bioactive compounds relevant to human health.
