Plant-Based Functional Foods and Phytochemicals: From Traditional Knowledge to Present Innovation covers the importance of the therapeutic health benefits of phytochemicals derived from plants. It discusses the isolation of potential bioactive molecules from plant sources along with their value to human health. It focuses on physical characteristics, uniqueness, uses, distribution, traditional and nutritional importance, bioactivities, and future trends of different plant-based foods and food products. Functional foods, beyond providing basic nutrition, may offer a potentially positive effect on health and cures for various disease conditions, such as metabolic disorders (including diabetes), cancer, and chronic inflammatory reactions. The volume looks at these natural products and their bioactive compounds that are increasingly utilized in preventive and therapeutic medications and in the production of pharmaceutical supplements and as food additives to increase functionality. It also describes the concept of extraction of bioactive molecules from plant sources, both conventional and modern extraction techniques, available sources, biochemistry, structural composition, and potential biological activities.

Structured into four main parts, this book navigates the intersection between food and functionality of plant-based products and provides insight into the nutritional composition of some key elements of plant-based diets. The book also introduces the most abundant adulteration practices and points out the analytical methods of quality monitoring, their current trends, and their potential future applications.The volume first looks at plant-based sustainable health foods, with a primary focus on millets, their nutritional and health benefits, as well as their potential as food security crops. The chapters also shed some light on demographics of millet production and discuss the impact of processing on the nutritional and organoleptic attributes of millet-based products. New advances in production, quality determination, and functional health benefits of two globally renowned beverages—wine and beer—are discussed while mapping consumption trends and consumers’ expectations and preferences.Sustainable and Functional Foods from Plants also explores some ethnic foodstuffs, ingredients, and condiments of functional importance for the cuisines of African, European, and Far Eastern countries, and then looks at the potential of bioactive compounds in medicinal foods and measurement techniques for quality of natural foods.The book will be informative for upper-level students as well as for food science teaching staff, researchers, and industrial personnel interested in theoretical and practical knowledge about sustainable and functional foods from plants.

Veganism has become a worldwide movement, transforming the food industry by reshaping the mainstream gastronomic culture. In the light of this current scenario, this new book, Vegan Gastronomy and Sustainable Health: Physiological Relationships and Nutritional Benefits, discusses the different aspects of this movement, providing a comprehensive idea about what veganism is, the impact of major food items on a vegan diet, and lastly the sustainable health benefits of vegan diets.The book has been divided into five parts. The volume first expands on the definition of veganism, the phylogenetic history of a vegan diet, and its integration in human health. It goes on to discusses the impact of legumes in a vegan diet as a means of alternative protein source for animals. Chapters also the explore the “superfood” mushroom and its pivotal role in a vegan diet. The impact of veganism on sustainable health benefit, both as a part of a regular diet and as a recovery diet from critical ailments like COVID, cancer, etc., is discussed. The last part of the book discusses the critical role of different prebiotics and probiotics, nutraceuticals, and phyto-metabolites in a vegan diet while highlighting the dynamics of gut microbiome in a vegan diet.This book will be an academically enriching and versatile experience for the global vegan community, professionals, students, researchers and industry experts of nutrition, food technology and home sciences, along with nursing and dietary professionals. Providing a plethora of information, it will help readers gain an in-depth knowledge of veganism and its sustainable health benefits. The volume will serve a pivotal reference for scientists, professors, researchers, growers, students, traders, and industry experts from the food industry, agriculture sectors, health and wellness industry, and academic sectors.
