This book focuses on phytonutrients, specifically, the highly oxygenated triterpenoids called limonoids that occur primarily in the genus Citra and other closely related genera. It reviews the history of chemical research on limonoids and discusses their biological benefits, including cancer prevention in humans and antifeedant activity in agricultural pests.
