As populations in many developed countries age and the burden of chronic disease increases, there remains a need to establish effective preventative measures. Fruit and vegetables are a natural source of vitamins and minerals which can contribute to good health. This volume reviews the associated health benefits of key horticultural crops, including apples, broccoli and cranberries. The book is split into five parts: Part 1 chapters examine phytochemical compounds in fruits and vegetables, specifically focusing on polyphenols. Chapters in Part 2 focus on glucosinolates and organosulfur compounds in fruits and vegetables. Part 3 chapters discuss the role of phytochemicals in preventing diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Chapters in Part 4 highlight ways to analyse and optimise phytochemical compounds in fruits and vegetables. Part 5 chapters conclude the book by providing three case studies that focus specifically on improving the nutraceutical properties of cranberries, apples, broccoli and other brassicas.
