Novel Approaches to Saturated Fat Replacement in Processed Foods covers strategies to reduce and replace saturated fat without altering the physicochemical, textural, and full-fat sensory attributes of a final product. Beginning by introducing novel replacement fats such as oleogles, designed lipids, and other plant-based fat mimics, the book demonstrate how these tailor-made oils and fats with improved physical and organoleptic properties can enhance the role of fats and oils in food and nutrition. The book highlights the value of healthier replacement fats in bakery, diary, meat, and frying applications while addressing the nutritional profile and health benefits. It concludes with safety aspects around the use of replacement fats, future trends and developments in the category, the impact ingredients high in saturated fats can have on the environment, and insights into the acceptance of plant-based fat alternatives.Addresses the nutritional profile of alternative fats, along with the benefits to health and diseaseIntroduces plant-based alternatives as healthier lipid molecules that mimic characteristics of saturated fatsDiscusses textural, physicochemical, and sensory attributes of alternative fats on processed foodsHighlights the positive effects of 100% replacement of saturated fats with plant-based alternatives in the context of vegetarian dietsAcknowledges the environmental and sustainable impact of different fat replacement strategies

Plant Powered Probiotics: Exploring Science and Health Behind Non-Dairy Fermented Beverages guides readers through the scientific aspects of fermentation, including detailing microbial roles, health benefits, and quality control. The book compares health advantages to other sources while emphasizing gut health and the importance of pro-and prebiotics for a healthy microbiome. Precision fermentation, strain selection, and optimized production processes are addressed, along with the safety of agro-waste of some common plant-based ingredients. The book concludes with the next generation and emerging trends in non-dairy probiotic beverage formulations.As the demand for foods containing probiotics coupled with an increased desire for dairy alternatives has opened the door for the creation of functional non-dairy beverages that have proven track records for gut and immune health, this book highlights fermentation origins, processes, and novel plant-based ingredients while also exploring health effects and digestive benefits.Highlights probiotics from plant-based sources and benefits to digestive healthExplores origins, processes, and health benefits of fermentation for creating novel, non-dairy beveragesDetails microbial roles, health benefits, and safety considerationsDiscusses consumer acceptance and marketing potential of fermented non-dairy beveragesEvaluates sustainability and the environmental impact of plant-based fermentation

Provides insights into advancing the One Health approach to improve health and food safety worldwide One Health Integration: Global Perspectives on Animal Health and Sustainable Agriculture provides a comprehensive exploration of the One Health framework, which recognizes the interdependence of human, animal, and environmental well-being. Weaving together scientific insights, policy perspectives, and case-based applications, the book is an essential resource for understanding and addressing today’s complex health challenges and responding to the rising prevalence of zoonotic diseases, environmental degradation, and food security concerns. Drawing on diverse regional experiences, the authors supply practical roadmaps for implementing One Health initiatives across varied settings. The detailed chapters cover topics such as veterinary education, antimicrobial resistance, food safety, and ethical considerations in the one health approach and integrate foundational concepts with real-world case studies, demonstrating how collaborative approaches can mitigate threats such as zoonotic outbreaks, livestock-related environmental pressures, and global food system vulnerabilities. Throughout the book, the authors showcase successful models and critically examine a variety of urgent challenges. Addressing how education, practice, and policy can be aligned to protect human and animal health, One Health Integration: Offers interdisciplinary insights connecting veterinary science, agriculture, and environmental healthContains comparative case studies, regional examples, and evidence-driven interventions for improving health outcomes across speciesProvides frameworks for integrating One Health principles into veterinary curriculaAnalyzes policy challenges and opportunities in sustainable livestock productionDemonstrates applied research through practical models and field-based examplesOne Health Integration: Global Perspectives on Animal Health and Sustainable Agriculture is ideal for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in veterinary science, public health, agriculture, and ecology programs, particularly those taking courses in zoonotic diseases, animal health, or sustainable agriculture. It is also a timely and reliable reference for professionals in veterinary practice, animal husbandry, livestock production, and public health policy.
