It is reported Functional foods are highly nutritious and associated with a number of powerful health benefits. They may protect against disease, prevent nutrient deficiencies, and promote proper growth and development. Functional Foods: Technological Challenges and Advancement in Health Promotion presents information related to bioactive compounds present in the functional foods, derived from fruits and vegetables, cereals and pulses, dairy and meat, herbs and spices and other foods. It describes novel techniques and methodologies used in the extraction, isolation, encapsulation, identification and characterization of bioactive compounds.Key Features:Covers the most recent research related to the bioactive compounds present in the functional foodsPresents the latest information on extraction, isolation, encapsulation, identification and characterizationDiscusses formulation challenges with an emphasis on stability and safety evaluations of functional foodsFinally, it includes substantial and scientific research and innovation for new product development with health benefits. This book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, academicians, and students interested in many aspects of functional foods.

This book highlights a multidisciplinary system for the future while protecting our environment. Certainly, the main objective of the proposed book has addressed several issues and bringing a good platform to understanding for future developments in metal oxide nanostructures for energy conversion, biomedical, and environmental management, however, which is support/carrier for antibacterial behaviors, pathogen infections, and bioinspired materials for energy savings and environmental impacts. Appropriately, I recommend the book to undergraduates, postgraduates, and doctoral students those who are working in materials science and researchers across the world working in interdisciplinary research.
