Biopolymeric Nanomaterials: Fundamentals and Applications outlines the fundamental design concepts and emerging applications of biopolymeric nanomaterials. The book also provides information on emerging applications of biopolymeric nanomaterials, including in biomedicine, manufacturing and water purification, as well as assessing their physical, chemical and biological properties. This is an important reference source for materials scientists, engineers and biomedical scientists who are seeking to increase their understanding of how polymeric nanomaterials are being used for a range of biomedical and industrial applications.

Biopolymeric nanomaterials refer to biocompatible nanomaterials, consisting of biopolymers, such as protein (silk, collagen, gelatin, ?-casein, zein, and albumin), protein-mimicked polypeptides and polysaccharides (chitosan, alginate, pullulan, starch, and heparin). Biopolymeric nanomaterials may be used as i) delivery systems for bioactive compounds in food application, (ii) for delivery of therapeutic molecules (drugs and genes), or for (iii) tissue engineering.

This book comprehensively reviews the intricate and multifaceted role of the oral microbiome in overall health and well-being. The introductory chapters present the diverse bacterial consortium inhabiting the oral cavity and the influence of dietary habits on the nature of the oral microbiome. The book investigates the link between the gut microbiome and susceptibility to disease, expanding the understanding of the interconnectedness of the human microbiota. Further, the book discusses the involvement of the oral microbiome in acute and chronic infections and addresses the concerning issue of drug resistance within this complex environment. It unveils the connection between the oral microbiome and mouth cancer and malignancies, presenting critical insights into disease prevention and management. The book also expands the scope, examining the role of the oral microbiome in systemic infections and revealing connections between oral bacteria and cardiac diseases. Towards the end, the book explores the pivotal role of oral microbiota in children’s well-being and reviews the various diagnostic techniques associated with the oral microbiome. This book is intended for researchers in the fields of microbiology and immunology, dentists, oral health specialists, physicians, and health care practitioners.

This book overviews honey and herbs that profoundly affect human metabolism when mixed in a balanced ratio. It covers various aspects of honey added to herbs and provides collective information and practical approaches regarding herbal honey and its applications as functional food and medicine. Honey has miraculous properties like anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, free radical scavenging, and anti-carcinogenic, so honey has tremendous therapeutic importance. Infusion of extract from various medicinal herbs in honey further modulates its therapeutic potential. 

This book provides all the information about the essentials of herbs-infused honey and its efficiency in fighting against pathogenic bacteria. It presents the significance and benefits of honey infused with herbs that may promote/boost immunity to fight contagious or non-contagious diseases. Not only does this book explain the comprehensive knowledge of herbal honey and its medicinal properties based on current researched evidence, but it also explores the contribution of herbal honey in the food science and medicine industry as a significant part of nutraceuticals and functional food research. By providing knowledge about the formulation of traditionally used herbs in combination with honey, scientific knowledge can be supplied and made available to the common public which shall probably be a real contribution to society.
