Looking for a book to answer the why, what, and how related to functional foods and nutraceuticals?
As the demand for health promotion through foods increases, functional foods and nutraceuticals have seen rapid development both in industry and academia. This book provides teaching and learning materials on functional foods and nutraceuticals for health promotion and mitigation of risk factors of chronic diseases. Global diseases like chronic inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, type II diabetes, cancers and neurodegenerative diseases are covered, along with ageing and obesity. Written by a team with vast accumulated knowledge, the book covers general principles of functional foods, specific topics on bioactive factors and health promotion and methodology in nutraceutical and functional food research. All topics are backed up by case studies and well-designed problem sets.
This textbook fills a gap in the literature for courses aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students. Each chapter provides opportunities for self-learning and stimulates critical thinking. It will also serve as a reference for more experienced practitioners new to this area. This book answers your questions and more, providing a must-have textbook.
