Beskrivning

Lectins in Foods: Biochemistry, Health and Disease Implications, Nutritional Perspectives and Regulatory Considerations provides evidence-based answers to the conflicting narratives surrounding dietary lectins, empowering food scientists, biochemists, academics, and nutritionists to navigate this complex topic with clarity. The book outlines the molecular structure and function of dietary lectins, offering detailed insights that clearly highlight their mechanisms and interactions with human health. By examining both the positive and negative health implications of lectins, this volume offers guidance on how to mitigate potential health risks while recognizing the beneficial roles these proteins may play in areas such as gut permeability, immune responses, and microbiota balance.

In addition, the book discusses practical strategies for reducing harmful lectins in food preparation, enhancing food safety, and fostering the development of innovative products. By highlighting the importance of informed dietary choices and effective public health policies, this comprehensive resource not only addresses the critical aspects of lectins in relation to chronic diseases but also opens avenues for future research and regulatory considerations to advance our understanding of dietary lectins in health and nutrition.

Mer om författaren

Uday Kishore, PhD FHEA FRSB FRCPath, is a researcher, teacher, an academic leader with a wide research network internationally and across Higher Education, charity, pharma and biotech sectors, and an inventor of biologics for clinical trials. He is a teacher and a scientist with special interest in innate immunity. He was the Founder-Director of the Centre for Infection, Immunity and Disease Mechanisms, Brunel University London. After spending a year at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, California, he moved to the University of Oxford for the major part of his post-doctoral training, first at the MRC Immunochemistry Unit, Department of Biochemistry, and then at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital. His research focuses on how innate immunity, including lectin and their receptors, plays a crucial role in human health and disease.Dr. Priti Mudgil is a leading researcher in food science and technology, with over a decade of experience focusing on food microbiology, biotechnology, and protein chemistry. Her research explores functional aspects of food, particularly through bioconversion, fermentation, and microbial safety. Dr. Priti has published 67 indexed papers in top-tier journals, 9 book chapters, and holds an impressive h-index of 30. She is closely involved in addressing food security and sustainability in the UAE, with innovative research on the valorisation of indigenous food resources like camel milk, meat, and dates. Her work also delves into sustainable production of bioactive compounds and value-added products from food waste. Prof. Khaled Masmoudi is a plant biotechnologist and molecular biologist who earned his PhD from University Pierre and Marie Curie (Paris 6), France, in 1993. Since joining UAEU in 2016, his research has used genomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics and functional genomics approaches to investigate salinity tolerance in arid-land plants and date palm, as well as the role of rhizosphere microbiota in root development and environmental stress tolerance in cereals and date palm. He has also developed transgenic crops for trait improvement. He currently serves as Vice Dean of UAEU’s College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine. His notable achievements include developing a novel thermostable recombinant biopesticide to control the red palm weevil pest in date palm, resulting in two USPTO patents.
