Trade Review
"Some 62 eminent researchers from 14 countries have contributed to the book's 21 chapters, each offering a comprehensive account of what is currently happening at the cutting edge of such intersecting disciplines as food science, nutrition, medicine, and pharmaceutical research. Learned updates to this topic of plant phenolics will probably be forthcoming every five to ten years." (CHOICE, 2010)
