Building upon the success of the bestselling first volume, Functional Foods: Biochemical and Processing Aspects, Volume II explores new sources of nutraceutical and functional food ingredients and addresses crucial issues for product development and processing. It presents the latest developments in the chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, epidemiology, engineering, and processing of functional foods. The book provides recent information on important functional food components, including up-to-date evaluations of bioactive compounds. Presenting information on the distribution of functional food components in different sources and their engineering properties, this book provides the essential information for the food industry to develop successful new products.
Each chapter presents an in-depth review of a major functional food component, providing:
Chemical, physical properties and molecular structure - derivatives and possible isomers, distribution in biological material Nutritional, physiological, and clinical functionality - including safety, bioactivity, bioavailability, efficacy in human diet and health, pharmacological properties Separation technology - in the laboratory and commercial production Processing - chemical, physical, and engineering properties during processing, process system, processing equipment, quality control in production Shelf-life - including storage conditions and stability Identification techniques - including HPLC, GC, MS, and NMR Standards and regulations - FDA, EC, FAO/WHO, Health Canada Utilization - applications, current and potential markets
This major reference provides a comprehensive treatment of the physiological effects of foods and food components capable of promoting good health and preventing or alleviating diseases. It assembles, in one volume, extensive recent information on the nature and physiological effects of biologically-active components of major plant foods-cereals, oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables-and dairy and fish products. For the first time in any reference work, internationally renowned specialists discuss how to manufacture and evaluate food products with health enhancing effects, using both traditional and novel processing methods.
Entire chapters are devoted to functional food products from oats, wheat, rice, flaxseed, mustard, fruits, vegetables, fish, and dairy products. The chapter on designer vegetable oils covers all the recent developments in vegetable oils, including genetically modified oils and engineering and production of structured lipids. Functional products from quinoa, amaranth, beans, ginseng, echinacea, and other botanicals are covered in separate chapters.
An authoritative final chapter discusses the present regulatory status of functional foods in the U. S., Japan, Canada, and the European Union. This chapter also discusses the assessment of natural products for use in promoting human health and as medicinal agents, considers where the burden of proof lies for showing the effect of a food product on a physiological or biochemical process, and explores the costs of making health claim. This comprehensive volume serves the information needs of food scientists and technologists, food process engineers, biochemists, nutritionists, public health professionals, and entrepreneurs involved in the design, processing, and marketing of new functional food products. Anyone who believes in the need for real foods that combine nutritional and medical benefits and who believes that such foods can be produced, will find this book invaluable.
This text is a comprehensive reference covering the chemistry,
physiology, chemotaxonomy, biotechnology and food technology
aspects of the anthocyanins. Topics discussed include types of
anthocyanins, structural transformations, colour stabilization and
intensification factors, biosynthesis and intensification factors,
biosynthesis, analysis and functions of anthocyanins. An in-depth
review of the literature discussing anthocyanins of fruits,
cereals, legumes, roots, tubers, bulbs, cole crops, oilseeds,
herbs, spices, and minor crops is included as well

Invasive alien plants and animals are known for their disruption of
ecosystems and threat to biodiversity. This book highlights their
major impact on human health. This includes not only direct effects
through contact with the species via bites, wounds and disease, but
also indirect effects caused by changes induced in ecosystems by
invasive species, such as more water hyacinth increasing mosquito
levels and thereby the potential for malaria. Covering a wide range
of case studies from different taxa (animals and plants), and
giving an overview of the diverse impacts of invasive species on
health in developed and developing countries, the book is a
significant contribution that will help in prioritizing approaches
to controlling invasive species and mitigating their health
effects. It covers invasive plants, marine species, spiders and
other arachnids, ticks and dust mites, insects, mosquitos and other
diptera, freshwater species (invertebrates and fishes), amphibians
and reptiles, birds and mammals. Key Features Collects together the
major health impacts for the first time Covers animal and plant
invasive species Examines issues in developed and developing
countries The broad spectrum of the analyzed case studies will
ensure the appeal of the book to a wide public, including
researchers of biological invasions, doctors, policy-makers and
managers, and students of invasive species in ecology, animal and
plant biology and public health medicine.
