Phytochemicals and Gut Health: Evidence and Opportunities for Gastrointestinal Management delves into the pivotal role of plant-derived compounds in supporting and enhancing gastrointestinal health. By examining how bioactive phytochemicals impact the gut-brain axis, the book provides a comprehensive overview of their sources, production, and mechanisms of action. Readers are introduced to clinical applications where these compounds offer promising avenues for improving GI disorders. The book's authors emphasize how targeted use of phytochemicals may overcome limitations and side effects commonly associated with standard medical treatments, presenting a forward-thinking perspective on nutritional interventions for gastrointestinal well-being.

In addition, the book explores the broader health benefits of phytochemicals, including their positive effects on cardiovascular and neurological systems. It discusses various classes such as phenolic metabolites, alkaloids, terpenoids, and glucosinolates, and examines their synergistic effects. Additionally, the text highlights the gut-nutraceutical axis, detailing how plant-based compounds can modulate the microbiota to address a range of GI disorders.

Dr. Sachchida Nand Rai is a Biochemistry Research Associate at Banaras Hindu University’s Institute of Science. He obtained his MSc in Biochemistry from Purvanchal University, India, and his PhD in Biochemistry from Banaras Hindu University, India. Dr. Rai researches the anti-oxidative and anti-neuroinflammatory properties of phytochemicals for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. He is a lifetime member of the Indian Academy of Neuroscience. Dr. Neeraj Tiwari is currently an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Biosciences, Institute of Biosciences and Technology at Shri RamSwaroop Memorial University, Lucknow-deva Road, Barabanki, India. He graduated from Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi with a degree in Masters of Science in Biochemistry from the Department of Biochemistry, Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. Later Dr. Tiwari also completed his Ph.D from the Biochemistry Department of this same university with a PhD in Biochemistry. The BHU is ranked consistently amongst the top universities of the country in terms of research environment. Dr. Tiwari’s current work is focused on exploring the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals/natural products in chronic diseases. With an h-index-12, he has published impressive publications in the journals of international repute. He has also authored several book chapters. Dr. Tiwari is also active reviewer for several reputed and refereed journals. Dr. Khubber is an assistant Professor, Food Science & Technology, Biotechnology & Bioinformatics, at DY Patil University. Her areas of interest include quality and safety standards, food biopolymers, bioactives, innovative processing, (food ingredients and nutraceuticals).
