Book Description
"Of all the plants that have figured conspicuously in human history, the Solanaceae, or nightshades, are among the most fascinating. Some are extremely useful to man; others, because of the alkaloids they contain, can be deadly. In this unique and entertaining book by a noted botanist--the first popular-level treatment of nightshades--readers find out which is which, and a great deal more"--Back cover.

Cucurbitacins in Plant Food
Author: Jørn GryPublisher: Nordic Council of Ministers
ISBN: 9289313811
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 71
Book Description
Poisoning due to Cucurbitaceous vegetables seems to be linked to intake of immensely bitter vegetables. The bitter and toxic compounds in these vegetables are cucurbitacins, which are well known in wild varieties of these food plants and their related species. The cultivated forms, on the other hand, have during cultivation been selected for being free of the bitter and toxic compounds. Occasionally, cultivars of cucurbitaceous food plants (e.g. squash) back-mutate and regain the ability to produce toxic amounts of cucurbitacins. This review summarises the information available on cucurbitacins in food plants of the family Cucurbitaceae, with the aim to lay down background information required to evaluate the potential risk of being intoxicated by cucurbitacins as a part of the safety assessment of cucurbitaceous food plants, and especially in relation to genetically modified Cucurbitaceous plants.

Book Description
Global dietary recommendations emphasize the consumption of plant-based foods for the prevention and management of chronic diseases. Plants contain many biologically active compounds referred to as phytochemicals or functional ingredients. These compounds play an important role in human health. Prior to establishing the safety and health benefits of these compounds, they must first be isolated, purified, and their physico-chemical properties established. Once identified, their mechanisms of actions are studied. The chapters are arranged in the order from isolation, purification and identification to in vivo and clinical studies, there by covering not only the analytical procedures used but also their nutraceutical and therapeutic properties.
Poisonous Plants and Related Toxins
Author: Thomas AcamovicPublisher: CABI
ISBN: 9781845933586
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 616
Book Description
This book presents refereed and edited papers from the 6th International Symposium on Poisonous Plants, held in Scotland in August 2001. It covers a range of topics from plant biochemistry to toxic effects in animals (particularly grazing farmed animals) and humans. The contents include the evolution of antinutrients and toxins in plants, biomedical applications of toxins in plants, isolation, identification and effects of plant and fungal toxins and the effect of plant toxins on aversion to plants in animal diets.
