CRC Press (Verlag)
978-1-032-16972-9 (ISBN)
Features:
Describes the endemic plants used in traditional medicine
Includes the chemical and bioactive compounds from desertic medicinal plants
Addresses the analytic techniques to determine chemical and bioactive compounds
Represents an effort to keep the ethnobiological knowledge of communities
To execute this book, there are collaborations by authors from different institutions in northern Mexico, which is where the arid and semi-arid ecosystems of the country are found. Although the subject of medicinal plants has been treated from different angles, this book offers a holistic and comprehensive vision of these important organisms of the Mexican desert, thus resulting in an updated work for specialized readers and for those who are beginning in this exciting theme.

Cristian Torres-León completed a degree in Agroindustrial Engineering (2013) from the National University of Colombia before earning his Master's (2016) and PhD (2019) in Food Science and Technology, both from the Autonomous University of Coahuila in Mexico. In addition, he completed a PhD (2019) in Biotechnology at the Federal University of Pernambuco in Brazil. Dr. Torres-León worked as a Young Researcher at the Colombian Ministry of Science between 2013 and 2014 and has undertaken a research stay at the University of Minho in Portugal (2016). Dr. Torres-León has evaluated projects for government organizations, and his activities and accomplishments include conferences, seminars, workshops, and the publication of 26 scientific papers in indexed journals and 16 book chapters. He is now a full professor at the Autonomous University of Coahuila, Mexico, and mainly works in the Food Science and Technology area with an emphasis on biodegradable packaging, phenolic compounds, use of agro-industrial waste, fermentation technologies, ethnopharmacology, and food security. Jorge Aguirre-Joya, PhD, is full-time Professor at the Autonomous University of Coahuila, Mexico. He is a chemical pharmacologist with a degree from the Universidad Autonoma de Coahuila (2011). He earned a Master’s degree in Food Science and Technology by the Autonomous University of Coahuila in Mexico (2014) and earned his PhD in Food Science and Technology in 2018 from the same university. Currently, he is Dean of the Research Center and Ethnobiological Garden from the Semidesert of Coahuila. He has published 12 peer-reviewed papers, 15 book chapters and one book as an editor. Also, he has participated in and coordinated 10 technology transfer projects.
