This book addresses the use of food hydrocolloids as agents for encapsulating biological active ingredients. It details the challenges of poorly-controlled rate of hydration, thickness, decrease in viscosity upon storage, and susceptibility to microbial contamination. Food Hydrocolloids as Encapsulating Agents in Delivery Systems briefly describes various emerging biomaterials including food gums, starches, beta glucans, and proteins for their potential role as wall material in the development of nutraceutical delivery systems. Further, it describes different techniques of fabrication of nanodelivery systems.

Features:

This book would be helpful to food scientists and pharmaceutical scientists working in areas including nanotechnology, polymer chemistry, and nutraceutical delivery, as well as regulators and government researchers in US FDA, USDA, and UK FSA regulatory agencies.

As the global demand for sustainable and nutrient-rich crops grows, pseudocereals are emerging as a valuable alternative to traditional cereals. This book brings together recent scientific advances and practical insights on the chemistry, nutritional quality, processing technologies, and industrial applications of pseudocereals such as quinoa, amaranthus, buckwheat, and chia.

It explores their unique nutritional and bioactive components, innovative milling and extraction methods, and their potential to support food security, health, and sustainable development. The chapters provide a detailed examination of their techno-functional properties, utilization in food and non-food industries, and growing relevance in functional food markets.

The book also addresses consumer acceptance, market strategies, and safety considerations, offering a balanced perspective that connects traditional knowledge with modern food science. It serves as a comprehensive reference for researchers, food technologists, nutritionists, and industry professionals looking to harness the potential of pseudocereals in product development and industrial applications.
