This book explores the roles of wild edible fruit plants in combating malnutrition and diseases through their use in food and medicine. It delves into the chemical composition of these plants, providing both qualitative and quantitative analyses, and explains how these compounds contribute to their healing properties. This book also provides a detailed presentation of evidence‑based applications in medicine and food supplements. These chapters include pharmacological research on these plants, offering concrete examples of how interactions between different herbs can lead to synergistic or even pleiotropic effects while ensuring the safety of these herbal products. Furthermore, this book highlights the industrial potential of phytochemicals and standardized extracts from these plants, showing their relevance across various sectors, such as cosmetics, food, health, chemicals, and textiles. It also addresses the efficient use of by‑products, emphasizing sustainability. This book presents insights into ethnopharmacology and phytopharmacology and is tailored for researchers, academicians, and professionals in the fields of pharmacology, ethnobotany, and natural product chemistry.Key FeaturesPresents a clear overview of how wild edible fruit plants can be used in medicine and as food supplementsProvides an in‑depth qualitative and quantitative analysis of the chemical profiles of wild edible fruit plantsExplores the interactions between different herbs, highlighting the synergistic and pleiotropic effects of these combinationsDetails the industrial applications of phytochemicals and plant extracts derived from wild edible fruit plantsOffers valuable insights into the ethnopharmacology and phytopharmacology properties of wild edible fruit plants

Evidence based herbal drugs are on hi-acceptance day by day due to health friendly nature compared to synthetic drugs. The active ingredients in herbal drugs are different chemical classes, e.g. alkaloids, coumarins, flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, steroids, terpenes etc., are identified at molecular level using current analytical practices, which are unique characteristic, as finger, so known as fingerprints. The fingerprints are used for assessment of quality consistency and stability by visible observation and comparison of the standardized fingerprint pattern, have scientific potential to decipher the claims made on these drugs for authenticity and reliability of chemical constituents, with total traceability, which starts from the proper identification, season and area of collection, storage, their processing, stability during processing, and rationalizing the combinational in case of polyherbal drugs. These quality oriented documents have ample scientific logics so well accepted globally by regulatory authorities and industries, to determine intentional/ unintentional contamination, adulteration, pollutants, stability, quality, etc. parameters. Based on geo-climatic factors, a same plant species has different pharmacological properties due to different ingredients; such regional and morphological variations are identified by fingerprints, at the time of collection of the medicinal herb. The chromatographic (TLC, HPTLC, HPLC, GC,) and spectral (UV-Vis., FTIR, MNR, MS, LC-MS, GC-MS etc.) techniques have world-wide strong scientific approval as validated methods to generate the fingerprints of different chemical classes of active ingredients of herbal drugs. Presently there is a need for a book having all the fingerprinting techniques for herbal drugs at a place with theory, case studies and art to discover patentable forms. The present book is a mile stone in the subject, to be utilized by Scientists, Medical Doctors, Technicians, Industrialists, Researchers, and Students both in PG and UG levels.
