Selected Topics in the Chemistry of Natural Products

"This book covers the following topics of natural products: cannabinoids; toxic constituents from marine sources; natural sweeteners; biological markers; pheromones of insects; pest management; and secondary natural chemicals formed by microorganisms. It contains specialized work that describes the chemistry of separate classes of compounds such as steroids, terpenes, alkaloids, sugars, carotenoids, fatty acids and so on. It also includes data on compounds isolated from various classes of organisms such as lichens, bacteria and fungi, which are usually treated in special monographs. The topics in this book are unlikely to be found in general chemistry courses. This book is intended for undergraduates, graduates and scientists in general. It introduces certain topics of natural products which are only taught in institutes of higher learning."--BOOK JACKET.Ikan, Raphael is the author of 'Selected Topics in the Chemistry of Natural Products ', published 2007 under ISBN 9789812705693 and ISBN 9812705694.
