Functional and Preservative Properties of Phytochemicals examines the potential of plant-based bioactive compounds as functional food ingredients and preservative agents against food-spoiling microbes and oxidative deterioration. The book provides a unified and systematic accounting of plant-based bioactive compounds by illustrating the connections among the different disciplines, such as food science, nutrition, pharmacology, toxicology, combinatorial chemistry, nanotechnology and biotechnological approaches. Chapters present the varied sources of raw materials, biochemical properties, metabolism, health benefits, preservative efficacy, toxicological aspect, safety and Intellectual Property Right issue of plant-based bioactive compounds.

Written by authorities within the field, the individual chapters of the book are organized according to the following practical and easy to consult format: introduction, chapter topics and text, conclusions (take-home lessons), and references cited for further reading.

Provides collective information on recent advancements that increase the potential use of phytochemicals Fosters an understanding of plant-based dietary bioactive ingredients and their physiological effects on human health at the molecular level Thoroughly explores biotechnology, omics, and bioinformatics approaches to address the availability, cost, and mode of action of plant-based functional and preservative ingredients

The reduction in nutritional quality of food due to microbial contamination is a problem faced by much of the developing world. To address contamination-related hunger and malnutrition, it is crucial to enforce quantitative and qualitative protection of agri-food commodities after harvesting, as well as to create low cost, rational strategies to protect post-harvest losses and nutritional properties of food products in a sustainable manner.

Research and Technological Advances in Food Science provides readers with a systematic and in-depth understanding of basic and advanced concepts in food science and post-harvest technology, including the most up-to-date information about different natural food source sources (of microbial, plant, and animal origin) and their health benefits. It also highlights current research and technological advances in food science related to health, such as personalized food and nutrition, seafood nutraceuticals, meat processing and product development, microbial enzymes for the tenderization of meat, feruloylated oligosaccharides for human health, and the role of microbial antagonistic in post-harvest management of fruit. In addition, the book explores the role of modern tools and techniques such as instrumentation, nanotechnology, biotechnology, ultrasound in food processing and food-omics in food science.

Research and Technological Advances in Food Science is an excellent resource for researchers, food scientists, biochemists, pharmacologists, nutritionists, policymakers, and students working in the food science domain.

Includes information about different natural sources of food (microbes, plants and animal origin), and their health benefits Highlights current research and technological advances in food science related to health Brings the role of microbial antagonistic, plant volatiles and technological advances in the post-harvest management of food commodities

Green Products in Food Safety explores the potential of green chemicals in the sustainable management of food biodeterioration agents and addresses the current existing limitations of green products for their sustainable application. The book summarizes food loss by biodeterioration agents (bacteria, fungi, mycotoxin, and insect pest); novel detection methods for hazardous food contaminants; different sources of green chemicals, their origin, extraction, and characterization methods; and bioactivity of green products against biodeterioration agents with their molecular sites of action. Also included are discussions of pharmacological properties of green chemicals, metabolic engineering of green chemical biosynthesis, natural therapy for bovine mastitis, the role of molecular modeling and dynamics in food science, nanocarriers for application in the food system, elucidation of novel site of action, toxicity prediction, ecological perception, Intellectual Property Right (IPR), regulations, and perspectives on the commercial application of green products.�

This book covers basic and translational aspects that prove to be beneficial for food scientists, researchers, students, and young professionals.�

Presents a systematic and in-depth understanding of recent scientific and technological advances related to green products and their application in food systems against biodeterioration agents Covers the basic and translational aspects related to the field of biopesticides and food loss by biodeterioration agents Links scientific and technological advancements to address existing limitations such as availability, cost-effectiveness, molecular mode of action, toxicity assessment, IPR, and more

The proliferation of nanotechnology in agriculture, food processing, storage and distribution has allowed for improvements in safety and nutritional preservation across various stages of processing. This technology has the potential to both improve the quality, safety and sustainability of our food and to offer cost-saving measures for the increase of shareholder profit. Nanotechnology in Food Safety and Sustainability gathers experts from across the globe to offer cutting-edge perspectives on developments in aspects such as pesticide and aflatoxin detection, polymers as nanocarrier agents of bioactive compounds, green technology for the extraction of nanoparticles from natural polymers, the use of fluorescent carbon quantum dots for food safety and more. Unlike existing texts on the subject, Nanotechnology in Food Safety and Sustainability offers a wide-ranging systematic overview of the topic, with a narrowed focus on safety applications, without sacrificing practical guidance. For researchers, industry and policymakers, this book will provide both a historical overview of and actionable guide, including a discussion of legal and regulatory aspects, to the application of nanotechnology in food safety measures.
