Tubers and starchy roots are plants that store edible starch content in underground stems, roots, rhizomes, corms, and tubers. They are a key source for both human and animal consumption and are rich in carbohydrates. They are widely used as industrial crops as well. Phytochemicals found in tubers and roots, such as phenolics, terpenoids, and alkaloids, have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic, and antibacterial properties. Except for common potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cassava, the nutritional and health benefits of many tuberous crops have not yet been adequately investigated. This book sheds new insights into these topics by addressing several plant metabolites found in storage organs, which can be seen as scientifically neglected even though they have a high economic relevance as food and pharmaceutical sources. Divided into 6 parts, this book discusses how bioactive chemicals found in plant storage organs are synthesized and how their bioactive principles are specifically expressed in underground stems, roots, rhizomes, corms, and tubers. Additionally, each chapter includes background information on the plant, its parts, its nutritional makeup, chemical components, and biological functions. Given its breadth, the book appeals to a wide readership, from scholars through graduate and post-graduate students to professionals in the industry. 410 0$aReference Series in Phytochemistry,$x2511-8358 606 $aNatural products 606 $aBotanical chemistry 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aBotany 606 $aPharmacology 606 $aNutrition 606 $aNatural Products 606 $aPlant Biochemistry 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 606 $aPlant Science 606 $aPharmacology 606 $aNutrition 615 0$aNatural products. 615 0$aBotanical chemistry. 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aPharmacology. 615 0$aNutrition. 615 14$aNatural Products. 615 24$aPlant Biochemistry. 615 24$aPlant Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Science. 615 24$aPharmacology. 615 24$aNutrition. 676 $a547 702 $aMurthy$b Hosakatte Niranjana$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPaek$b Kee-Yoeup$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPak$b So-yo?ng$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910847069503321 996 $aBioactive Compounds in the Storage Organs of Plants$93872336 997 $aUNINA
