Antinutrients and Phytochemicals in Foods

by Fereidoon Shahidi

This book examines the potential health benefits of low levels of antinutrients in food processing and functional foods, and reviews the potential health risk at high levels. The authors identify and classify various foods as sources of phytochemicals while considering their anticarcinogenic and antimutagenic potentials. This volume will be a valuable resource for food scientists, technologists, and nutritionists, and for researchers in biotechnology and medicinal chemistry.
