This volume, Plant Secondary Metabolites: Volume 1: Biological and Therapeutic Significance, presents important information on the curative and therapeutic roles of secondary metabolites that are present in different natural food groups. The book showcases the applications of herbal-based food group and also includes the effective utility of other plant-based food categories as well. In addition to the clinical role of secondary metabolites, other natural sources, such as micro-algae and bacterial cellulose, are also presented as efficacious sources of functional components.

This second book in the three-volume Plant Secondary Metabolites covers the stimulation, extraction, and utilization of plant secondary metabolites, which are organic compounds that aid in the growth and development of plants but which are not required for the plant to survive by fighting off herbivores, pests, and pathogens. These plant secondary metabolites have been used since early times in various medicines and food products for beneficial health purposes and are still relevant and popular today.

Gluten is a protein found in all forms of wheat, rye, oats, barley and related grain hybrids. People with celiac disease when consume gluten, the absorptive villi in the small intestine are damaged and thus preventing the absorption of many important nutrients. The long-term effect of untreated celiac disease can be life threatening. Present investigation aims at development of cookies from gluten free composite flour. The effect of broken rice flour on cookies quality was studied. The compositional variations resulted in the 13 minutes baking as optimum time in a condition of 170 1 degree centigrade as upper burner and 185 1 degree centigrade as lower burner temperature. The textural and colour characteristics of optimized cookies resulted in the sensory acceptability as "extremely acceptable." The composite flour free from gluten may give a viable alternative to introduce a variety in cookies so as to increase the food choice range for the person suffering from celiac disease.
