Handbook of Functional Beverages and Human Health provides
potential applications and new developments in functional
beverages, nutraceuticals, and health foods. In addition to serving
as a reference manual, it summarizes the current state of knowledge
in key research areas and contains novel ideas for future research
and development. Additionally, it provides an easy-to-read text
suitable for teaching senior undergraduate and postgraduate
students in the relevant areas. The book is divided into seven
major sections: Section I covers market trends, global regulations,
flavor challenges, chemistry, and health with specific reference to
cancer chemoprevention and the prevention of postprandial metabolic
stress due to consumption of functional beverages. Section II, by
far the largest part of the book, has 39 chapters on the most
popular fruit juices (apple juice, lemon juice, pomegranate juice,
watermelon juice, etc.). Section III reports on herbal and
vegetable juices (carrot juice, Chinese medicinal herbs and
root-based beverages, tomato juice, and vegetable-containing
juices). Section IV details caffeinated beverages, including
different varieties of tea (green, black, oolong, and herbal teas),
coffee (coffee and beverages from green coffee beans), and cocoa
and chocolate. Section V is on dairy and soy beverages, while
Section VI is on alcoholic beverages (wine) and water (maple
water). Finally, Section VII describes fermented (kefir, koumiss,
and ayran) and fortified functional beverages (applications of
plant sterols and stanols in functional beverages, beverages
fortified with omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, minerals and
vitamins, probiotics and prebiotics in functional beverages,
functional beverages in weight management, fortified sport drinks,
and peptide-enriched functional beverages).
