Features: Plant active substances possess multiple bioactivities and have developed rapidly in recent years, with significant market potential. This book consists of 10 chapters, providing detailed discussions on the key production technologies of 2 organic sulfide compounds, 4 organic acid compounds, 5 organic alcohol compounds, 5 carotenoids, 4 bioflavonoids, 4 proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins, 2 alkaloids, 2 terpenoid compounds, 4 saponins, and 3 other active substances, along with 42 typical production examples. Chapter 1 elaborates on the key production technologies of isothiocyanates and diallyl disulfide. Chapter 2 discusses the key production technologies of hydroxycitric acid, pyruvate, ferulic acid, and ellagic acid. Chapter 3 explores the key production technologies of resveratrol, phytosterols, oryzanol, octacosanol, and inositol. Chapter 4 discusses the key production technologies of lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, and beta-carotene. Chapter 5 describes the key production technologies of bamboo leaf extracts, quercetin, soy isoflavones, and genistein. Chapter 6 discusses the key production technologies of soapnut extracts, grape seed proanthocyanidins, pine bark extracts, and bilberry extracts. Chapter 7 explores the key production technologies of camptothecin and paclitaxel. Chapter 8 discusses the key production technologies of limonene and forest polydatin. Chapter 9 describes the key production technologies of alfalfa saponins, soy saponins, ginseng saponins, and polygonum saponins. Chapter 10 explores the key production technologies of capsaicin, curcumin, and lovastatin. This book is based on the principles of scientific rigor, practicality, conciseness, and inspiration, widely incorporating the latest research findings from abroad through internet technology. It holds significant guiding value for the development of plant active substance production technology in the coming years. It serves as a valuable reference for researchers, production personnel, and management decision-makers in fields such as pharmaceutical industry, cosmetic industry, agricultural product processing, biochemical industry, and food industry. It also provides important reference material for faculty and students in related disciplines.
