Main description:

Organized into four sections, Clove (Syzygium aromaticum): Chemistry, Functionality, and Applications addresses the cultivation, composition, and applications of clove, along with the chemistry, functionality, and applications of clove fixed oil, clove essential oil, and clove extracts and their role in food and medicine. Beginning with the introduction of clove, this book aims to establish a multidisciplinary discussion on the development of Syzygium aromaticum phytochemistry, technology, processing, agricultural practices, functional traits, health-enhancing potential, mechanism of action, and toxicity as well as food and nonfood uses. The studies reported in this book confirm the functional applications of Syzygium aromaticum as a medicinal plant, standing out for the significance of novel applications.

This book delves into the functional, nutritional, and pharmacological traits of clove. Therefore, the book will serve as a valuable reference for food scientists, technologists, chemists, nutritionists, and pharmacists developing new pharmaceutical and food products.
