Overview
The market of nutraceuticals, functional foods, and food supplements is a growing field due to consumer concerns and awareness of health. However, the quality of the products in the field is not well controlled. Quality Management of nutraceuticals examines the chemical and biological quality management of nutaceuticals. The volume is divided into three sections. The first provides and overview on the topic and reviews several important classes of nutraceutical compounds, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and marine nutraceuticals. Examples of the chemical analysis of several nutraceutical products on the market such as goldenseal, saw palmetto, green tea, cocoa, and black cohosh are discussed in the second section of the volume. The final section gives the bioactivity of several nutraceutical products such as ginger and gum guggul.

Reviews
The 21 papers of this volume, first presented at a symposium in August 2000 in Washington DC, are divided into sections that consider analysis of specific nutraceuticals--including black cohosh, saw palmatto, noni, cranberry, tea, and cocoa--and bioactivity studies. Individual topics include an overview of marine nutraceuticals, marker compounds of herbs and their bioavailability, methods and analysis of anthocyanins, analysis of flavonoids in botanicals, antioxidants in the ginger family, and antioxidant activity of flavanols and flavonoid glycosides in oolong tea. Reflecting the affiliations either in industry or academia of the international group of contributors, Ho is in food science at Rutgers U. and Zheng works for a botanical industry in New Jersey. --SciTech Book News<br>
