Drawing on an astonishing range of examples, Neil J. Smelser focuses on how such experiences enhance our lives and provide us with meaning and dignity. The odyssey experience, as Smelser advances it, is generic, widespread, and recurring. It is a finite period of disengagement from the routines of life and immersion into a simpler, transitory, often collective, usually intense period of involvement that culminates in some kind of regeneration. By examining a variety of topics as part of a larger, overarching phenomenon, Smelser transforms their study from the particular to the comparative. The Odyssey Experience thus reaches beyond a simple description of where and how transformations occur in daily life to offer a profound explanation for why they are there. 606 $aInsight 606 $aIntrospection 606 $aLife change events 606 $aVision quests 606 $aPilgrims and pilgrimages 606 $aVoyages and travels 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInsight. 615 0$aIntrospection. 615 0$aLife change events. 615 0$aVision quests. 615 0$aPilgrims and pilgrimages. 615 0$aVoyages and travels. 676 $a153.4 676 $a155.9 700 $aSmelser$b Neil J$089308 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464886903321 996 $aThe odyssey experience$92464288 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04574nam 2201153z- 450 001 9910557428003321 005 20210501 035 $a(CKB)5400000000043444 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/68287 035 $a(oapen)doab68287 035 $a(EXLCZ)995400000000043444 100 $a20202105d2021 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aThe Benefits of Plant Extracts for Human Health 210 $aBasel, Switzerland$cMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute$d2021 215 $a1 online resource (226 p.) 311 08$a3-03943-851-4 311 08$a3-03943-852-2 330 $aNature has always been, and still is, a source of food and ingredients that are beneficial to human health. Nowadays, plant extracts are increasingly becoming important additives in the food industry due to their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities that delay the development of off-flavors and improve the shelf life and color stability of food products. Due to their natural origin, they are excellent candidates to replace synthetic compounds, which are generally considered to have toxicological and carcinogenic effects. The efficient extraction of these compounds from their natural sources and the determination of their activity in commercialized products have been great challenges for researchers and food chain contributors to develop products with positive effects on human health. The objective of this Special Issue is to highlight the existing evidence regarding the various potential benefits of the consumption of plant extracts and plant-extract-based products, with emphasis on in vivo works and epidemiological studies, the application of plant extracts to improving shelf life, the nutritional and health-related properties of foods, and the extraction techniques that can be used to obtain bioactive compounds from plant extracts. 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aFood & society$2bicssc 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aalkaloid 610 $aandrographolide 610 $aangiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition 610 $aanti-inflammation 610 $aanti-inflammatory 610 $aanti-inflammatory activity 610 $aantimicrobial 610 $aantioxidant 610 $aantioxidant capacity 610 $aantioxidants 610 $aantiproliferative activity 610 $aBerberis 610 $abioactive compounds 610 $abiofilm 610 $abotanicals 610 $abud-derivatives 610 $achemometrics 610 $acomplications 610 $adiabetes mellitus 610 $adoxorubicin 610 $aemulsions 610 $aessential oil 610 $aEuphorbia hirta L. 610 $aextraction 610 $afermentation 610 $afood preservative 610 $afruit parts 610 $afunctional ingredient 610 $agut microbiota 610 $ahealth properties 610 $aHO-1 610 $ahuman health 610 $ahydrolysis 610 $ahyperglycemia 610 $ain vitro health properties 610 $ain vitro ?-amylase inhibition 610 $ainflammation 610 $aJujube 610 $aKadsura spp. 610 $alung 610 $amechanisms 610 $amethod validation 610 $aMRSA 610 $amultidrug resistance 610 $an/a 610 $anatural products 610 $aNF-?B 610 $aNrf2 610 $aoxidative stress 610 $apepper 610 $aphenolic acids 610 $aphenolics 610 $aplatelet 610 $apolyphenols 610 $aquantitative analysis 610 $aquorum sensing 610 $areversed-phase liquid chromatography 610 $arice bran 610 $aSideritis raeseri subsp. raeseri 610 $astreptozotocin-induced diabetic mice 610 $atargeted chromatographic fingerprint 610 $atomato pomace 610 $aultrasound 610 $aUV-Visible spectroscopic fingerprint 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aFood & society 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aProestos$b Charalampos$4edt$01297533 702 $aProestos$b Charalampos$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557428003321 996 $aThe Benefits of Plant Extracts for Human Health$93024507 997 $aUNINA
