Synopses & Reviews
This book focuses on phytonutrients, specifically, the highly oxygenated triterpenoids called limonoids that occur primarily in the genus Citra and other closely related genera. It reviews the history of chemical research on limonoids and discusses their biological benefits, including cancer prevention in humans and antifeedant activity in agricultural pests.
Review
"This book brings together, in seventeen chapters, many of the aspects of research on the citrus limonoids. . . . well referenced . . . reasonable index . . . a well-balanced collection of reviews and is recommended for all who have an interest in natural products."--Royal Society of Chemistry
