"This book, The Flavonoids: Extraction and Applications, describes the recent advances of polyphenol (flavonoids) derivatives for human health and in the management and prevention of diseases. They have been ascribed positive effects on human and animal health and been employed for disease therapy and chemoprevention. In this volume, the biochemistry and applications of flavonoids are explored-their proven and potential pharmacological health benefits are explored. The book summarizes the classification of flavonoids and explores their potential as immunity-boosting compounds, for mental health, for prevention of cardiovascular illnesses, for improvement of fitness effects associated with improving with metabolic syndrome, for their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory uses, for their use in vasodilation, for their use in dermatology and cosmetic preparation, and more. The various methods of flavonoid extraction, focusing on the main parameters involved in extraction, such as temperature, solvent used, sample quantity, time for extraction, etc., and are also addressed. The book also looks at the role of flavonoids in sustainable agriculture"--
