Berries as Functional Foods: Bioactive Constituents and Their Role in Health and Cancer provides a comprehensive overview of the nutritional, biochemical, and therapeutic significance of berries. The book explores the chemical composition of berry fruits, highlighting their rich content of vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, anthocyanins, and other bioactive constituents. It examines the mechanisms underlying their antioxidant, radical-scavenging, and metal-chelating activities, as well as the bioavailability and metabolism of berry-derived phytochemicals. Special emphasis is placed on the role of berries in disease prevention and health promotion, particularly their potential in cancer prevention and therapy. Dedicated chapters discuss the molecular mechanisms through which berry phytoconstituents modulate colorectal and breast cancer development, progression, and treatment, positioning berries as promising functional foods and nutraceuticals for human health.
