The field of functional foods along with their bioactive food
components has grown tremendously over the past decades. Often
guided by hypothesis-generating epidemiological observations,
discoveries from basic science studies and controlled trials in
humans have provided critical evidence to help establish an optimal
diet that alleviates chronic disease risk. These advances have also
driven efforts by the food and nutraceutical industries to
establish and market health claims, formulate extra-value foods,
and even generate new health foods for human benefit. Handbook of
Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods, Third Edition, compiles the
data from experts in the field that potentiates the already
established credibility of the earlier editions. In its
three-section format, it provides an authoritative summary of the
prophylactic and/or medicinal benefits of natural foods and their
constituents that are linked to favorable health outcomes.
Beginning with an overview of the field and associated regulations,
each chapter describes the chemical properties, bioactivities,
dietary sources, and evidence of these health-promoting dietary
constituents. Features: * Summarizes plant- and animal-based
functional foods and their bioactive components * New chapters on
cannabidiol and scientific, legal, and regulatory considerations;
green tea and nutraceutical applications; and herbal nutraceuticals
and insulin resistance * Includes information on functional food
beverages including coffee, green tea, and dairy milk * Discusses
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of vitamin E,
anthocyanins and other (poly)phenolic compounds, and carotenoids *
Provides an update on the health benefits and requirements of
protein and performance and therapeutic application and safety of
creatine.
