Reviews
Every chapter is well referenced, and the vast majority have a very useful summary points section. This comprehensive work provides research information into the pharmacological and nutritional benefits of the olive components, and addresses not only the wide range of potential health benefits of these products, but the factors that may impact their efficacy, including compositional effects based on the country of origin or processing technique. As such it will be of great interest and value to nutritionists, food scientists, physicians, pharmacologists, and analytical chemists working with olives and olive oil.-- J. D.
