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 LEADER 04201nam 22005775 450 001 9910869175003321 005 20250807143415.0 010 $a9789819735495$b(electronic bk.) 010 $z9789819735488 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-97-3549-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31505431 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31505431 035 $a(CKB)32575349800041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-97-3549-5 035 $a(OCoLC)1443932085 035 $a(EXLCZ)9932575349800041 100 $a20240627d2024 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aChristianity and Capitalism in China $eA Case Study from the Diaspora /$fby Ottavio Palombaro 205 $a1st ed. 2024. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer Nature Singapore :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2024. 215 $a1 online resource (327 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Palombaro, Ottavio Christianity and Capitalism in China Singapore : Springer Singapore Pte.

Certain values are at stake for the success of economic behavior. Since the genesis of modern capitalism, a set of beliefs proper of Calvinism (mainly Predestination but also Beruf, Inner-worldly Asceticism, role of Sects?) was said by Max Weber to cause an anxiety about salvation and generate a propensity to economic success as a sign of election. In order to observe this in action today, it is crucial to consider the evolution that the Protestant ethic went through migrating first in north America and lastly through the Protestant revival of China. Wenzhou is called ?Jerusalem of China? for its large Protestant community that is also strongly involved in business. Some scholar already pointed out the presence among those entrepreneurs of this Protestant ethic (Yi Xiang, Boss-Christian?). The data presented in this comparative qualitative study pertain to ethnographic observations, job-shadowing and interviews done among Chinese Christian and non-Christian entrepreneurs from Wenzhou living in Milan, Italy. The results show with some adjustments the presence of a Chinese-version of the Protestant ethic overlapping with several values proper to the Chinese context (Confucianism, lineage, social network). The extension of the study to other cases must be done with caution considering the non-causal justificatory role of the belief. Regardless: successful entrepreneurship involves specific social, cultural and even religious aspects that move beyond mere business strategies.
