Flavonoids as Key Medicinal Components in Honey
This book provides fundamental knowledge on the potential medicinal properties of honey and secondary metabolites of flavonoids. The book was written as a result of the author's many years of scientific research in the field of testing the quality of Bosnian-Herzegovinian honey and its potentially medicinal properties, and numerous published studies examining the medicinal properties of flavonoids were analyzed during its writing.
The book, by focusing on the medicinal properties of secondary metabolites of flavonoids, and their introduction into the human body through honey, represents one of the first scientific and educational works of its kind.
This book is primarily intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of natural sciences, medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, nutrition, and ecology, but it will also be of use to all those who are professionally involved in honey production or are interested in research in this field.
Harun Kurtagić, PhD, is Head of the Department of Foodstuff Control at the Federal Institute of Agriculture Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He studied science (mainly chemistry and biology) in at the University of Sarajevo’s Faculty of Science, and attained his PhD in 2015. His doctoral dissertation focused on flavonoids as bioindicators of pollen content and the ecological quality of honey. He was a technologist of in-process quality control and laboratory control of raw and finished products at Bosnalijek, Sarajevo, from 1989 to 2006. He is an expert in gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of pesticide residues in foods. His scientific research largely focuses on honey quality.
