Publisher's Synopsis
Database of Phytochemical Constituents of GRAS Herbs and Other Economic Plants is a unique catalog that includes more than 15,000 phytochemical constituents from over 1,000 higher plant species. This volume covers all of the generally-recognized-as-safe (GRAS) herbs and at least 250 important food and medicinal plants. Each entry features the scientific name, one or more common names, a listing of phytochemical constituents, a single datum or range of quantitative data (wet-weight to dry-weight in parts per million), two-letter abbreviation identifying the plant part, and three-letter abbreviation(s) indicating the source(s) of the data. Using WordPerfect™ 5.1's macros and search program, you can find plants by species name or common name, author, element, or compound. With macros, you can print out all plants with a given element or compound, or you may want a listing of those plants that include quantitative data.
