<p>This book discusses different fruit crops and provides first-hand information on the nutritional composition of commercially important, as well as unexplored fruits, which are grown in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. A detailed nutritional profile of each fruit is presented in the book.&nbsp; The potential health implications against cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, carcinoma, oxidative damage, asthma, aging and cognition are discussed and explained. Besides, nutritional composition and medicinal implications, origin, morphology, taxonomy and production scenarios of unexplored, as well as commercially important fruits, have also been highlighted in the book.</p>

<p>This book will be of interest to students and researchers involved in agricultural sciences, food science, nutrition and the Indian medicine system. </p>

Presents detailed information on nutritional composition of commercially important fruit crops of Jammu and Kashimir Provides knowledge regarding micro and macro-nutrients, morphological behavior, taxonomical characteristics, and production scenario of various unexplored fruits Describes mechanism of action of various fruit bioactive compounds in detail against chronic diseases such as CVD’s, diabetes, and oxidation
