Nutraceutical Applications in Food Processing and Preservation addresses the urgent need for healthier and safer food processing methods by integrating nutraceuticals as natural alternatives to conventional additives. The book explores the intersection of food science, nutrition, and biotechnology to seek innovative solutions to enhance food safety and nutritional value amid rising consumer health consciousness. The contents encompass an in-depth analysis of food additives and their evolution, a detailed coverage of various nutraceutical types such as phytochemicals and probiotics, and practical applications across beverages, snacks, dairy, bakery, and meat alternatives.The book also includes case studies that showcase successful nutraceutical substitutions, discussions on regulatory compliance, sustainability, and market trends that affect product development and food safety. By providing regulatory insights, scientific advancements, and consumer trend analyses, this reference fosters the creation of safer, health-promoting food products. It will equip food scientists, technologists, product developers, and academic researchers with actionable knowledge to innovate and improve food processing practices.Provides comprehensive coverage of nutraceutical integration in food processingDemonstrates practical applications through case studies in diverse food productsExplores regulatory frameworks and market trends for compliance and innovationHighlights the health benefits of nutraceuticals for cardiovascular and immune supportAddresses sustainability and safety challenges in food additive replacements

Pterocarpus santalinus L.f., popularly known as Red Sanders, an endemic tree, belonging to the family Fabaceae is  confined to the southern parts of Eastern Ghats. IUCN has listed this tree as endangered. The plant has superlative characteristics in its wood and has many medicinal properties. This plant has attracted the attention of both foresters and lay man because of its high valued wood which is being illegally harvested creating law and order problem.  This book is a comprehensive monograph on Red Sanders and is divided into 15 chapters. The book provides information on taxonomy, morphology, distribution, wood anatomy, wood properties and uses, dye principle, phytochemistry, pharmacology, Silvicultural aspects, propagation, cultivation practices, reproductive biology, pests and diseases, biotechnology, molecular studies, conservation, trade, commerce, socioeconomic aspects of Red Sanders, and grey areas of research. The book is profusely illustrated with colour photographs and line drawings.  Relevant references have been provided under each chapter. This monograph on Red Sanders with systematic representation of information and illustrations will be a desk reference and field guide to foresters, botanists, researchers, farmers, traders and environmentalists.
