Springer - Pigments in Fruits and Vegetables: Genomics and Dietetics

Pigments in Fruits and Vegetables: Genomics and Dietetics by Springer offers a systemic overview of the latest advances in pigment research. This comprehensive treatise covers the biosynthetic genomics and genetics of carotenoids, flavonoids, and betalains. It examines how enzymatic and regulatory genes function in pigment biosynthesis from both general and specific fruit and vegetable perspectives. Beyond genetics, this work explores the dietetics of these pigments. It examines how they contribute to nutritional and medical health benefits, aid in disease prevention, and function as potential nutraceuticals within a diet. This resource is designed to support research scientists and nutrition specialists seeking a deep understanding of the connection between plant pigments and human health.
