Understanding the nutraceutical properties of flavonoids in fruits and vegetables: mechanisms of action

Code: 9781801465588
A. D. Diwan, S. N. Harke and A. N. Panche, MGM Institute of Biosciences & Technology, Mahatma Gandhi Mission University, India

Chapter synopsis: The chapter first looks at the antioxidant properties of flavonoids and their role in preventing auto-immune diseases. It then looks at the anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-viral activity of flavonoids and their role in treatment of diabetes. The chapter goes on to discuss the anti-cancer properties of flavonoids and their anti-neoplastic activity in tumour suppression. It also reviews their role in preventing cardiovascular disease and anti-thrombogenic activity of flavonoids, as well as their meuro-protective, anti-ulcerogenic, anti-inflammatory and hepato-protective activity. Finally, the chapter discusses biotechnological approaches for enhanced production of nutraceuticals in fruits and vegetables.
