Knowledgeably compiled and co-edited, [the book] covers a wide range of problems associated with the use of the components of plants to produce new substances with a wide variety of purposes. . . . Represents a body of impressively informative and seminal scholarship which is unreservedly recommended for corporate, college, and university library Contemporary Chemistry Science collections in general, and Biochemistry supplemental studies reading lists in particular, as well as being of immense and enduring value for students, faculty members, researchers, and scientists in the fields of organic chemistry and chemical engineering. -- MBR Bookwatch: August 2017, reviewed by Micah Andrew Very interesting and timely material. The organization of the book is convenient and allows for the focus on a few different elements of the study of plant materials--on various aspects of obtaining and studying properties of raw materials on the one hand, and evaluation of the biological activity of a plant-derived product, on the other hand. I am pleased to recommend this book by a multidisciplinary team of authors. The interesting experimental data presented by the authors will be useful to a wide range of researchers and experts in technology acquisition and processing of plant raw materials. --Professor Ilya N. Kurochkin, Director, Emanuel Institute of Biochemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia
