Pigmented Grains: Nutritional Properties, Bioactive Potential, and Food Application highlights the potential of pigmented grains crops in the human diet and their health benefits due to presences of the rich source of phytochemicals and pigments. Divided into 13 chapters, the book covers the breeding approaches and techniques for producing pigmented grains, the functionality and nutritional properties of wheat, rice, maize, barley, oats and rye, sorghum, millets, and pseudo cereals such as amaranth, quinoa and buckwheat. Others chapters cover the processing of pigmented grains and the effect on their functionality, utilization of pigmented grains and their by-products This is a comprehensive reference written for teachers, scientists, researchers, students, and all others who have interest in pigmented grains their potential nutritional value, utilization in food processing, value addition, and in combating malnutrition and nutritional security.

Discusses nutrition, bioactive potential, and opportunities for use in food productsPresents processing techniques for extraction and enhancing product quality from pigmented grainsCovers breeding approaches and techniques for producing pigmented grainsIncludes wheat, rice, maize, barley, oats and rye, sorghum, millets, amaranth, quinoa, and buckwheat

Handbook of Plant-Based Food and Drinks Design discusses conventional and emerging technologies for plant-based ingredient improvement (yield, nutritional composition and functional properties) while considering food safety, sustainability, and social impact to explore current and potential markets through research and innovation. Divided in 7 sections, the book covers Plant sources for functional ingredients, Processing plant-based sources, Plant-based food design to replace/mimic animal food, Innovation in plant-based food, The promise of parity, Safety and regulations of plant-based foods, Social, environmental, and economic impact, and more.Written by a team of experts in the field, this book can be a good support for researchers and scientists working with plant-based food, drinks, and market trends.

Brings a critical overview about the health-beneficial compounds of plant-based sourcesOffers guidelines on how to formulate plant-based food or a food alternativeDiscusses the transition towards more plant-based diets on nutrition, economy climate change, health, and sustainability

Pulse Breeding, Processing, Functionality, and Products reflects the shift from animal- to plant-based foods, addressing increased interest in pulses due to their higher protein contents when compared to most cereals. The book provides comprehensive coverage of a wide range of knowledge related to pulses, from breeding approaches and market landscapes to extraction and fractionization, post- treatments for improved ingredients, their nutritional and compositional qualities, advances in testing methods, and their potential industrial applications in food and pet food. With its inclusion of problems/solutions and issues-focused insights, the book's content is valuable for immediate application and for inspiring additional research. The book offers the food industry and researchers the necessary insights to know the latest developments and emerging uses of pulse ingredients. As pulses have high adaptability, versatility, and offer potentially significant contributions to the human diet and pulse ingredient flours, proteins, fibers, and starches, they are increasingly being used in food formulations, hence this book covers the topic with a wide breadth of knowledge. Challenges, including taste, color, bite, mouthfeel, and texture are also covered for innovative products.Guides on the implementation of strategies and improvements toward the delivery of pulse products with enhanced food safety, sustainability, and health benefitsOffers access to the latest techniques for pulse ingredient production and analytical methodsIdentifies and addresses problems/solutions and issues for real-world applicationsServes as a valuable resource for developers of new products and processing

Cereal-Based Foodstuffs: The Backbone of the Mediterranean provides an overview of cereal-based products in the Mediterranean region, illustrating the spectrum of products from past to present and their various processing methods.
