Functional Foods and Chronic Disease: Role of Sensory, Chemistry and Nutrition explores the range of functional foods that are effective against a wide range of chronic diseases and addresses the impact of functional food bioactive compounds on organoleptic properties. Beginning with an introduction that details the key sensory and advanced instrumental methods essential for addressing the common problems associated with designing functional foods, the book also addresses the impact of aging and chronic diseases on sensory acuity as well as the effectiveness of functional foods in treating a wide range of chronic diseases.

Sections highlight the need for acceptable functional foods for individuals suffering from a wide range of chronic diseases and contain practical recommendations for their development. Food scientists, nutritionists, dietitians, food product developers, food supplement producers, food ingredient developers, natural product scientists, herbalists, and pharmacists, as well as students studying related areas, will benefit from this important resource.

Highlights the need for acceptable functional foods for individuals suffering from a wide range of chronic diseasesIncludes case studies, applications, literature reviews, and a summary of recent developments in the fieldProvides suggestions for improving the organoleptic properties of functional foods

Diet as Complementary Treatment to Cancer Prevention and Therapy explores the role of nutrition in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Designed for researchers, clinicians, nutritionists, and dietitians who seek to deepen their understanding of how dietary interventions can enhance cancer care and improve patient outcomes, this book features in-depth chapters on various cancers including liver, cervical, thyroid, esophageal, pancreatic, and oral while detailing specific dietary strategies that may mitigate risk and support therapeutic efficacy. Additionally, it addresses the significant influence of the human microbiome on cancer dynamics and highlights the promising field of metabolomics as it pertains to future cancer research. Contributions from leading experts across the fields of food science, nutrition, pharmacology, and cancer research provide current and practical applications. This comprehensive resource equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge necessary to incorporate dietary considerations into cancer prevention and treatment protocols effectively.Identifies the potential of specific diets as an effective and complementary therapy for different types of cancerDiscusses how diet is important to maximize nutrition, reduce toxicity and improve chemotherapy efficacyHighlights the role of metabolomics in the future of cancer researchOffers clinical studies highlighting the efficacy of many dietary components against individual cancers
