World-wide there are more overweight and obese people (1 billion) than there are malnourished (0.8 billion). Today the challenge lies not just in meeting basic nutritional needs, but providing additional protective ingredients to help prevent the major chronic diseases associated with obesity. Biotechnology has become an important tool in recent years and scientists are now investigating advanced and novel strategies for the improvement of the functional aspects of food and food ingredients in an effort to manage the current and emerging health care challenges.Functional Foods and Biotechnology focuses the information from the recently published Food Biotechnology to illuminate the role of biochemical processing in the improvement of functional foods with targeted health benefits and increased nutrient value. Applying molecular, biochemical, cellular, and bioprocessing concepts, the text explores the design of functional food ingredients; the bio-mobilization of major nutrients such as starch, lipids, vitamins, and minerals; and the use of specific phenolic metabolites from common botanical species that have been found effective in disease prevention. Many chapters are concerned with the role of ingredients in oxidation-linked disease, which is the core basis for the major chronic diseases. Specialty topics include non-nutritive sweeteners, immune factors from eggs, phytochemicals as antimicrobials, and passive immune improvement with pro- and pre-biotics. The text provides conceptual insights to key emerging techniques for improving food production and processing, enhancing food safety and quality, and increasing nutritional values and functional aspects of food for better human health.Introducing key concepts in biotechnology and the improvement of functional foods and nutrient sources, Functional Foods and Biotechnology addresses specific strategies and potential solutions to poor nutrition, be it caloric excess or deficiency, and the related health challenges facing the world today.

Fermentation-based processing advanced with global food systems as humanity started to organize the domestication of agriculture from plant and animal sources. These advances emerged across regions of the world from river valley civilizations in Asia (Mesopotamia, India and China) and Africa (Egypt) to Meso-American civilizations. As food crops and animal foods emerged from domestication to advancements in post-harvest processing stages, growth of invisible microbial systems led to modified foods that aligned with local palates of the communities. This in several cases became part of food systems, as it added a mode of preservation and improved the food quality that was preferred by each community. This is how the early genesis of fermented foods from grains, fruits and vegetables to animal meats and milk products became an integral part of early civilizations over 4000 years ago and has now carried over and further developed across many countries in every region of the world. The foundations of these food fermentations are now an integral part of modern food advances as preferred food substrates and the microbial interactions that drive the metabolic processes in defined food matrixes are being scientifically advanced.This book focuses on bringing together diverse emergences and advancements of fermented foods across different regions of the world and how the metabolic processes associated with fermentation in several cases add health-relevant functional qualities across different food matrixes. This book contains 26 chapters from the Americas, Africa, Europe and Asia, bringing together the fermentation processes of diverse food substrates and their microbial processing and in several cases providing health-targeted functional benefits.Key Features:Discusses the rationale and basis of fermented food systems from across 26 diverse regions of the world with examples from the Americas, Asia, Europe and AfricaPresents historical plant and animal food substrates and the metabolic processes of their fermentation across traditions of a range of countriesCovers traditional food fermentations across diverse food substrates that have potentially health-relevant functional benefitsReflects and presents the role of historical, cultural and traditional food concepts of a diverse range of countries with many novel examples and how they have influenced health-relevant functional benefitsDiscusses the relevance of metabolic concepts of fermented and functional foods in advancing healthy food conceptsThis book is important for food scientists, nutritionists and the health care sector, but beyond this, it is also relevant for a wider global audience interested in a holistic health approach from food systems where examples of fermentation experience can inform new natural processing strategies to improve food quality and health.

Functional Foods and Biotechnology focuses the information from the recently published Food Biotechnology to illuminate the role of biochemical processing in the improvement of functional foods and the increase of nutrient value. Applying scientific concepts, the text explores the design of functional food ingredients, the bio-mobilization of major nutrients, and the use of specific phenolic metabolites in disease prevention. Specialty topics include oxidation and disease, antibodies from eggs, phytochemicals as antimicrobials, and passive immune improvement with pro- and pre-biotics. The text provides key emerging techniques for improving food production and processing, enhancing food safety and quality, and increasing nutritional values a
