Nutrition, Volume II: Vitamins, Nutrient Requirements, and Food Selection focuses on the requirement, metabolism, and manifestations of deficiency of the individual nutrients. This book discusses the philosophy of dietary standards and compares the dietary standards from several countries. Organized into nine chapters, this volume starts with an overview of the concept of nutritional adaptation and its significance in human nutrition. This text then explains the absorption, transport, and deposition of vitamin A. Other chapters explore the structures, properties, functions, excretions, and toxicities of B vitamins, which include niacin, thiamine, and riboflavin. This book discusses as well the chemistry, absorption, and metabolic functions of pyridoxal phosphate and cobalamin. The final chapter explains the factors affecting food choice in humans and discusses as well the patterns of food use in many areas of the world. This book is a valuable resource for nutritional biochemists, nutritionists, teachers, graduate students, and research workers.
A two-volume set which traces the history of food and nutrition from the beginning of human life on earth through the present.
During the last few decades, research into natural products has advanced tremendously thanks to contributions from the fields of chemistry, life sciences, food science and material sciences. Comparisons of natural products from microorganisms, lower eukaryotes, animals, higher plants and marine organisms are now well documented. This book provides an easy-to-read overview of natural products. It includes twelve chapters covering most of the aspects of natural products chemistry. Eac chapter covers general introduction, nomenclature, occurrence, isolation, detection, structure elucidation both by degradation and spectroscopic techniques, biosynthesis, synthesis, biological activity and commercial applications, if any, of the compounds mentioned in each topic. Therefore it will be useful for students, other researchers and industry. The introduction to each chapter is brief and attempts only to supply general knowledge in the particular field. Furthermore, at the end of each chapter there is a list of recommended books for additional study and a list of relevant questions for practice.

The Committee on Examination of the Evolving Science for Dietary Supplements of the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board was directed to review, retrospectively, selected case studies of diet and health relationships that were relevant to dietary supplements and identified as important in the National Research Council report, Diet and Health: Implications for Chronic Disease Risk (D&H) (NRC, 1989). It was then to determine the extent to which subsequent scientific evidence from the peerreviewed literature used in published reports from the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) series (IOM, 1997, 1998, 2000a, 2001) either agreed with the preliminary evidence used to support the relationship identified originally in the 1989 review or significantly modified the original hypotheses and preliminary conclusions. The committee's analysis was to include characteristics of research with apparent high probability of predicting future confirmation by new science in support of a diet and health relationship. It also was to consider characteristics of information useful to consumers that would allow them to make scientifically informed judgments about the role that a specific food component or nutrient plays in health.
Abstract: Information on the human requirements for specific nutrients has been brought together from thousands of international sources, both in current research and historical literature. Clinical researchers, nutrition educators and postgraduate and undergraduate students will find reviews of studies on the needs of healthy people of all ages for protein, amino acids, vitamins A and C, calcium, zinc, iron, copper and folacin. The status of research on these nutrients can be readily ascertained and used to provide a basis for further investigation or for teaching. Each chapter begins with a general introduction and a review of early studies. Some of the topics included are maintenance requirements, factors that influence nutrient status, needs of specific groups, nutrient reserves and absorption, supplementation, and environmental factors. Comments or conclusions for each section provide a synthesis of current knowledge and identify the needs for further research.
