The Textbook of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry is the result of several writers’
\nattempts to incorporate the vast body of knowledge in both traditional and modern
\npharmacognosy, which has long been a prerequisite for the curriculum of many universities
\nworldwide.
\nIn earlier times, pharmacognosy was mainly understood as the study of medicines that
\ncome from natural sources. According to the American Society of Pharmacognosy, it is defined
\nas the study of the physical, chemical, biochemical, and biological characteristics of drugs or
\ndrug substances derived from nature, along with the exploration of new natural sources for
\npotential medicines. Over time, the field of pharmacognosy has evolved and expanded to
\ninclude diverse information related to natural drugs \u2014 such as their history, classification, use
\nin alternative medicine, physical form, identification, cultivation, harvesting, production, and
\noverall utilization. It also involves trade and commercial use of medicinal and aromatic plants,
\ntheir impact on the economy, detection of adulteration in natural drugs, and evaluation through
\nphysical, chemical, and sensory methods. Other important aspects include the biological
\ntesting of herbal medicines, the study of biosynthetic pathways in plants, pharmacognostic
\nexamination of crude drugs, and processes such as extraction, isolation, and purification.
\nAdditionally, modern plant biotechnology plays a major role. Altogether, this vast and
\ncomprehensive knowledge base has led to the development of what is now known as modern
\npharmacognosy \u2014 an interdisciplinary science that not only focuses on traditional areas but
\nalso includes phytochemical research and the study of biologically active plant compounds.
\nKeeping in mind the vast and detailed knowledge of the subject, this textbook has been
\nthoughtfully designed to make a meaningful contribution to the field of pharmacognosy. This
\nmodern book on pharmacognosy and phytochemistry highlights plant biodiversity and covers
\nvarious important topics which are mentioned on units.
\nThe authors have successfully achieved their goal through a systematic compilation of
\nwell-written book, supported by clear and neatly labeled diagrams wherever necessary. They
\nexpress heartfelt gratitude to their grandparents, parents, spouses, and family members for their
\ncontinuous motivation and support in creating a book that meets the long-felt need of
\nundergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers alike \u2014 all in one place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
