    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This book explores the vital role of proteins in human health through 40 in-depth chapters, organized into four comprehensive sections, which include "Introductory Concepts," "Foods of Animal Origin," "Foods of Plant Origin," and "Resources." The book delves into the biochemical processes behind protein metabolism and its influence on a wide range of health conditions. Aimed at educating readers on the diverse sources and types of protein, it provides valuable insights into how both plant and animal proteins contribute to disease prevention and overall wellness.



    Features:




    • Chapters feature subsections titled "Effects of Other Proteins" to aid in comparative interpretation.



    • Each chapter contains a Mini Dictionary of Terms and Summary Points to facilitate clear understanding.



    • Highly illustrated with figures and multiple tables in each chapter.



    • Chapter contributors represent global coverage.



    Plant and Animal Proteins in Health and Disease Prevention is written for nutritionists, food scientists, healthcare professionals, research scientists and practitioners, and policy makers. It is also practically designed for professors, students, and libraries.
