"The chapters are organized well, and the preface explains how the
concept of food is changing over time and how marine organisms are
considered as healthy food." -P.N. Sudha, DKM College for Women,
Tamil Nadu, India The relationship between food and health has been
a growing concern in modern society, and the importance of
information on their connection has elevated accordingly. People
are becoming prone to diseases due to the deterioration of the
environment. Despite a growing interest in preventative medicine in
the healthcare sector, few medications can be called preventative
drugs. Foods may exhibit completely different functions in a living
body, depending on whether their components are simple substances
providing energy and nutrition, or valid "functional entities."
This book covers all aspects of healthcare solutions through
marine-derived materials, with twenty-six chapters exploring an
array of topics pertaining to human health in everyday life.
Beginning with an introduction to food functionality and disease
presentation, Chapters Two to Nine discuss chitin, chitosan, and
the production and application of chitosan oligosaccharides
regarding anti-cancer, anti-aging, and antioxidant activity.
Furthermore, utilization of these cationic polysaccharides in
artificial skin development, the prevention of alcohol consumption,
dentistry, systemic diseases prevention and Alzheimer dementia are
discussed in subsequent chapters. In Chapters Ten and Thirteen, I
discuss obesity, osteoporosis, sexual dysfunction and sleep
disorders using fisheries products. Additionally, Chapters Fourteen
to Eighteen detail the use of marine algae to treat diabetics,
allergy, asthma, AIDS and hair loss, as well as the use of
fisheries products for hypertension and athlete's foot. Chapters
Twenty-Two through Twenty-Six then shed light on the anti-aging
effects of fish, the abundance of taurine in shellfish, antifreeze
protein, food shortages through fish breeding, and cosmeceutical
product development using marine organisms.
