Book details
Expanded to twice the size of its predecessor, the Second Edition features many new entries, classifications, and references. Many of these address the increased interest in natural ingredients over the past decade, especially in health foods - a category that includes food products, over-the-counter drugs,and herbal teas. A new classification on Chinese medicinal herbs, drawing on both classical and modern Chinese medicine, is particularly innovative, offering information for the first time in English.
This Second Edition of the Encyclopedia of Common Natural Ingredients will be welcomed by chemists, botanists, and product developers in the cosmetic, food, and drug industries, as well as consumers who need an authoritative, up-to-date source of information on this important field.
