This new book discusses plant-derived bioactive compounds, covering their sources, biological effects, health benefits, and potential prevention and treatment properties for multifactorial diseases. It first describes in detail how encapsulation methods and plant-based materials may be used in a variety of ways, covering the concepts, advantages, and techniques for encapsulating bioactives based on cereals, spices, and coffee. The volume also looks at the functional aspects of plant-based foods and nutraceutical-based functional food design. The role of functional foods in food safety and industrial food safety issues and techniques for monitoring food quality and safety are also addressed.

The consumption of functional foods is growing in the health and wellness communities because of their range of potent nutrients and health advantages, such as the ability to shield against illnesses, stop vitamin deficiencies, and encourage healthy growth and development.This new volume discusses the nutritional and health benefits of functional foods. The volume first looks at the functional activities of plants and their derivatives, discussing microgreens as functional foods as well as functional foods for certain populations, including those involved in sports and the elderly. The volume includes chapters on antiviral activities of functional foods for first helping to reduce the risk of contracting COVID-19 as well as combating the disease once contracted. Several chapters detail the beneficial antidiabetic activities of plants, looking particularly at mushrooms and guava. Probiotics as functional foods for human health is investigated as well, discussing the role of probiotics in gut microflora, probiotics as dietary supplements, various extraction methods, and more. Finally, the volume addresses the quality aspects of functional foods, providing an overview of foodborne pathogens and food-related microorganisms.This volume will aid experts working in food science and technology, agricultural science, food safety, and Ayurveda around the world. It will be of interest and use to professional food scientists, nutritionists and dieticians, academicians researching food engineering problems, and graduate-level students in related fields.

This unique volume summarizes emerging approaches based on in silico, in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies to uncover the potential and the underlying mechanisms of diverse marine bioactive compounds to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 and its variants and, hence, pave the way for drug discovery devoted to the management of COVID-19.Investigating a range of natural compounds for their anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity, this volume offers in-depth insights into molecular mechanisms that can inhibit viral/host protein targets of SARS-CoV-2. It highlights the action of marine bioactive compounds based on advanced bioinformatics tools such as molecular docking, computer simulation, and systems pharmacology, as well as multiple omics and high-throughput technologies. Chapters discuss the modes of action by selected marine polysaccharides, terpenoids, astaxanthin, and an indole-alkaloid (holyrine A) for combating SARS-CoV-2, and propose their potential role in COVID-19 management. Finally, a chapter discusses the role of marine bioactive compounds that include some traditional remedies from Southeast Asia for combating SARS-CoV-2 infection.Providing valuable knowledge based on state-of-the-art literature that highlights the anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of marine bioactive compounds, this work will be an important resource for researchers, professors, and experts in diverse sub-fields of life sciences, such as virology, pharmaceutical science and drug discovery, medical research, biochemistry, bioinformatics, biomedical science, computational biology, epidemiology, and other areas. The book presents approaches that are potentially useful for the management of global public health and can support the goal of establishing "Good Health and Well-Being," which is one of the "Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030" of the United Nations.
