Liposomes have been used primarily for drug delivery, and there has
been only been limited development of this technology in the food
industry. This volume helps to fill that gap by focusing on the
advanced trends and applications of liposomes in the nutraceuticals
and functional foods industry. The volume begins by discussing the
processes and protocols of formation of liposomes and the
structures of liposomes produced by different methods. It then
reviews their physico-chemical properties and the science of
encapsulation of bioactive compounds using liposomes. It continues
with an overview of liposomal methods, protocols, preparation
techniques and explores the uses of liposomes as drug carriers but
focuses primarily on liposomal carrier systems and technology in
bioactive functional foods and nutraceuticals. The volume presents
advances on liposomes as anti-tubercular and anticancer delivery
systems and also discusses liposomal supplements. Liposomes for
Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals: From Research to Application
will be a valuable resource for those who produce lipids and those
who seek to incorporate them into appropriate food products.
This book examines the rapidly growing field of functional foods in
the prevention and management of chronic and infectious diseases.
Chapters explore the varied sources, biochemical properties,
metabolism, health benefits, and safety of bioactive ingredients
for nutraceutical and functional food products. Special emphasis is
given to linking the molecular and chemical structures of
biologically active components in foods to their nutritional and
pharmacological effects on human health and wellness. In addition
to discussing scientific and clinical rationales for different
sources of functional foods, the book also explains in detail
scientific methodologies used to investigate the functionality,
effectiveness, and safety of bioactive ingredients in food. The
chapter authors discuss advanced nanocarriers for nutraceuticals
based on structured lipid and nonlipid, nanoparticulate approaches
for improved nutrient bioavailability, adulteration and safety
issues, nanodelivery systems, microencapsulation, and more. It
discusses some particular health benefits from nutrition
nutraceuticals, including probiotic dairy and non-dairy products
and bioactive proteins and peptides as functional foods. The volume
also gives an overview of emerging trends, growth patterns, and new
opportunities in the field of nutraceuticals and functional foods.
Advances in Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods: Concepts and
Applications will be a significant resource for advanced students,
faculty, researchers and scientists, and professionals in the
nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.

As a result of their unique physical properties, biological
membrane mimetics such as biopolymers are used in a broad range of
scientific and technological applications. This comprehensive book
covers new applications of biopolymers in the research and
development of industrial scale nutraceutical and functional food
grade products. All the major food biopolymers are included, from
plant, animal and marine sources. Coverage also includes
biopolymer-based drug delivery mechanisms intended for biological
applications such as bio-detection of pathogens, fluorescent
biological labels, and drug and gene delivery. This is the first
interdisciplinary book to address this area specifically and is
essential reading for those who produce the functional biopolymer
materials as well as those who seek to incorporate them into
appropriate nutraceutical, food and drug delivery products.
