During the cooking process, the Maillard reaction is partially responsible for creating the flavor and color of grilled and seared foods. The Maillard reaction has also been linked to chronic degenerative diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Exploring this link, this book also elaborates on dietary risk factors for chronic degenerative diseases as well as dietary factors to help prevent them.

Wendel Wohlleben, Thomas A.J. Kuhlbusch, Jürgen Schnekenburger, and Claus-Michael Lehr Billions of dollars in public funding have been spent on novel nanomaterials, and the resulting products are entering the consumer world now: new paints and coatings; electric cars powered by nanomaterials in the battery, chassis, and tires; new renewable energy sources, to name a few. But contrary to other disrupting technologies such as nuclear energy or genetics, the scientific community has started to investigate the risks associated with novel nanomaterials early in the development phase. Although there are still gaps in our knowledge of the risks presented by nanomaterials, we now know enough to describe scenarios that are too high-risk to implement as well as scenarios for the safe use of nanomaterials. The goal of this book is to help the reader in making such safely decisions. Print ISBN: 978-1-4665-6786-3 December 2014, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 472 pp. Suggested Price: $139.95 / £89.00

Compounds isolated from nature have long been known to possess biological profiles and pharmaceutical potential far greater than anything made by man. However, they are notoriously cumbersome to isolate and challenging to synthesize, and the path of natural products to viable drugs is an arduous journey. This book presents a practical guide to gathering, isolating, and discovering new pharmaceuticals from nature. It emphasizes the challenges and advantages of products acquired from nature over traditional compounds such as those arising from combinatorial chemistry.
Written for students, researchers, and professionals in fields related to biology, biomedical science, naturopathic and herbal medicine, pharmacy, and medical chemistry, this timely reference focuses on the recent developments of the human genome interacting with various natural products. As traditional references only cover information on natural products specific to certain metabolic pathways, this book offers a collection of all genomic interactions with various natural products and discusses the product’s use in prevention and/or treatment of disease. An interactive Web tool is provided as well, that automatically updates literature of natural products and its interacting metabolic pathways.

This book concentrates on the theory of spin resonance phenomena and the relaxation theory, which have been discussed from first principles to introduce the reader to the language of quantum mechanics used to describe the behaviour of atomic nuclei and electrons. There is a long way from knowing complex formulae to apply them correctly to describe the studied system. The book shows through examples how symbols can be “replaced” in equations by using properties of real systems to formulate descriptions that link the quantities observed in spin resonance experiments with dynamics and structure of molecules.
