Book SynopsisThis volume discusses the nutraceutical importance, production technologies, management and cultivation practices of underutilized vegetables, which can be described as those vegetable crops which are neither grown commercially on a large scale nor traded widely. While much of the crops addressed in the book are cultivated, traded and consumed at the local level, there are over 60 species of minor vegetables with high growth and yield potentials that are not cultivated to a large extent for greater populations. This work highlights the production technologies needed to grow these vegetables on a larger scale and under various adverse soil and climatic conditions, and their nutritional and medical benefits to assist with food security, health and poverty alleviation in rural areas. Production of underutilized vegetables is low, due to the unavailability of planting material, lack of awareness about the nutritional and medicinal importance among the farmers and inadequate information on the production techniques of these crops. In this context, there is an urgent need to take up a program on genetic resources exploration, management, utilization, and improvement of underutilized vegetable crops to ensure food and nutritional security. Readers will learn about these technologies and practices, while also learning about the unique properties and benefits of these underutilized vegetables. The book will be useful for academicians and researchers focusing on vegetable production and breeding, as well as farmers and sustainability scientists looking for underexplored sources of nutrition to benefit large rural populations.Table of Contents1-Underutilized vegetables introduction and identification.- 2-Production technology of underutilized crops of alliaceae family.- 3-Production technology of underutilized leguminous vegetables.- 4-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of araceae family.- 5-Production technology of underutilized cucurbitaceous.- 6-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of rutaceae family.- 7-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of dioscoreace family.- 8-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of Aizoaceae family.- 9-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of basellaceae family.- 10-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of labitae family.- 11-Production nology of underutilized vegetables of martynaceae family.- 12-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of solanaceae family.- 13-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of apiaceae family.- 14-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of brassicaceae family.- 15-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of chenopodiaceae family.- 16-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of compositae family.- 17-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of euphorbiaceae family.- 18-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of moringaceae family.- 19-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of polygonaceae family.- 20-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of moraceae family.- 21-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of onagraceae family.- 22-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of portulaceae family.- 23-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of cannaceae family.- 24-Production technology of underutilized vegetables of marantaceae family.- 25-Protected cultivation of underutilized vegetables.- 26-Seed production of underutilized vegetables.- 27-Integrated disease management of underutilized vegetables.- 28-Integrated pest management of underutilized vegetables.- 29-Underutelized vegetables are grown in the Hydroponic and aeroponic system.- 30-Sustainable production of underutilized vegetables.

Book SynopsisMedicinal and aromatic crops (MACs) are high-value crops since the natural products obtained from them are low-volume high-value commodities that have numerous applications in various sectors such as the food, beverage, food supplement, flavor and fragrance, perfumery and cosmetics, pharmaceutical and aromatherapy industries. In addition, the plant biomass is used in the production of teas and medical applications in traditional and also modern medicines. MACs are important mainly because they contain plant secondary metabolites such as essential oils, alkaloids, glygosides, saponins, tannins, vitamins and other bioactives. Plant secondary metabolites are differentiated from plant primary metabolites of photosynthesis and respiration since they are directly involved in growth and development of plants. Some MACs are used as spices and culinary herbs since they contain mainly essential oils, and are used as tonic to the digestive system, appetite modification and other systems and may facilitate nutrient uptake and utilization from various foods. A significant amount of MACs and their natural products have also demonstrated antimicrobial, antifungal and bactericidal activity and significant antioxidant capacity. In the past, MACs and their natural products have been used as a source for various medicines, in food and beverage production and in aroma products. Essentials of Medicinal and Aromatic Crops summarizes the current knowledge on medicinal and aromatic crops, including the agronomical practices of important MACs and their products, their beneficial effects and utilization of MAP and their products. The chapters provide a comprehensive guide to the most important and used medicinal and aromatic crops and their use in functional foods, nutraceuticals and as bioactives against various ailments, providing researchers, teachers, chemists, food scientists, agronomists and agroecologists in academia, industry and government a fully up to date singular source on this important topic.

Book SynopsisThe Springer Handbook of Odor is the definitive guide to all aspects related to the study of smell and their impact on human life. For the first time, this handbook aligns the senso-chemo-analytical characterization of everyday smells encountered by mankind, with the elucidation of perceptual, hedonic, behavioral and physiological responses of humans to such odors. From birth onwards we learn to interact with our environment using our sense of smell. Moreover, evolutionary processes have engendered a multi-faceted communication that is supported – even dominated – by olfaction. This compilation examines the responses of humans to odors at different stages of life, thereby building a foundation for a widely overseen area of research with broader ramifications for human life. The expert international authors and editor align aspects, concepts, methodologies and perspectives from a broad range of different disciplines related to the science of smell. These include chemistry, physiology, psychology, material sciences, technology but also disciplines related to linguistics, culture, art and design.This handbook, edited by an internationally renowned aroma scientist with the support of an outstanding team of over 60 authors, is an authoritative reference for researchers in the field of odors both in academia and in industry and is also a useful reference for newcomers to the area.Trade Review“This book should be in all libraries of laboratories operating in the field of odors, since it is addressed not only to specialists who would like to extend their knowledge to other aspects of the science of odor but also to PhD students at the beginning of their research studies who have to enter this field as well as to those who need to tackle specific topics.” (Carlo Bicchi, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, August, 2017)Table of Contents
