Superfoods have been used for human consumption for centuries.
These foods provide an important amount of essential nutrients and
energy. Nowadays, the nutraceutical properties of superfoods have
acquired importance due to their additional health benefits. Most
superfoods are eaten in their fresh form in producing regions, but
seasonality is an important limiting issue. Traditional processing
technologies have been used to assure supply for the whole year,
and innovative processing technologies have been developed to reach
bigger markets. In this book, the authors provide information about
nutritional aspects of the described foods. Additionally, the
different functional properties of each food, such as antioxidant,
anticancer, hypoglycemic, and cardioprotective activities are
discussed. It includes information about their principal bioactive
compounds, biological activities, the effects of processing these
compounds, nutritional values, and sensorial properties and shelf
life. The first section is focused on the properties of selected
fruits, some eaten fresh, others only after a first transformation.
The second section is focused on a selection of foods having been
transformed before human consumption, such as cereals,
pseudocereals, and legumes. Finally, the third section includes a
set of products from animal and diverse origins.
