Handbook of Prebiotics
In order to achieve optimal digestion, absorption, and nutritional health, we must have appropriate populations of positive microflora. Prebiotics are functional foods that improve health by fortifying indigenous probiotics within the gut. This fast-growing area of nutrition and microbiology is rapidly amassing data and answering many questions abo
Prebiotics
The prebiotic concept works on the basis that many potentially health-promoting microorganisms are already present in humans. Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that stimulate activity in targeted microorganisms, to improve the health of the individual. Prebiotics can be incorporated into many foodstuffs such as beverages, health and sports drinks, infant formulae, cereals, bread, savoury products and so forth, and are receiving much commercial interest. Prebiotics: Development and Application is the first book to consolidate research in this emerging area of ‘functional food’ study. The book takes a broad view approach to prebiotics, from the conceptual stage, definition, pr...
Functional Foods
This reference provides a comprehensive treatment of the physiological effects of foods and food components capable of promoting good health and preventing or alleviating diseases. It assembles extensive information on the nature and physiological effects of biologically-active components of major plant foods. Internationally renowned specialists discuss how to manufacture and evaluate food products with health enhancing effects, using both traditional and novel processing methods. This comprehensive volume serves the information needs of food scientists and technologists, food process engineers, biochemists, nutritionists, and public health professionals.
Colonic Microbiota, Nutrition and Health
This book reviews the microbiology of the human gastrointestinal tract and how its composition and activities may affect host welfare. Drawing on the expertise of internationally recognised authors, a comprehensive account of gut microbiology is given. In particular, the nature of the microbiota, the fermentation process, gut flora modulation through diet (probiotics, prebiotics), molecular approaches for studying the bacteria, health outcomes associated with colonic microbial function and consumer aspects are all detailed. It is now believed that gut function, and colonic bacteria specifically, can play an important role in human nutrition and health. Whilst it has long been realised that the gastrointestinal microbiota can affect host well-being, the full extent of this interaction is only now emerging. This book gives a balanced review of current knowledge on how gut flora can be optimised for improved health and on some of the more important target outcomes. Its contents will therefore be of topical relevance to scientists and students involved in microbiology, gastroenterology, nutrition and the food industry.
Prebiotics
Functional foods have an enormous annual market. For probiotics alone, this is estimated at u700 million in Europe. Prebiotics are a newer concept which serve the same purpose as probiotics (i.e. improve gut flora composition) but are more efficacious at doing so. The next few years will see an exponential rise in their use. Prebiotics are the most popular 21st-century concept in functional food science and human nutrition. This topical book looks at the background, manufacture, development and legal aspects of their development. Aimed at the food industry, this is a practical - rather than a scientific - guide. The book is aimed at all food manufacturers and retailers, nutritionists, dieticians, clinicians and microbiologists."
Human Colonic Bacteria
Human Colonic Bacteria provides a comprehensive summary of the biological significance of the large intestinal microbiota in terms of its activities, composition, and role in host health. The book contains contributions from a group of internationally recognized authors, all active researchers in their particular fields. It discusses some of the important advances in colonic microbiology from a functional perspective. This timely volume contributes toward a wider perception of the colon in terms of its relevance for human health, as well as underlining its nutritional, physiological, and ecological diversity.
Plant Secondary Metabolites
Plant secondary metabolites have been a fertile area of chemical investigation for many years, driving the development of both analytical chemistry and of new synthetic reactions and methodologies. The subject is multi-disciplinary with chemists, biochemists and plant scientists all contributing to our current understanding. In recent years there has been an upsurge in interest from other disciplines, related to the realisation that secondary metabolites are dietary components that may have a considerable impact on human health, and to the development of gene technology that permits modulation of the contents of desirable and undesirable components. Plant Secondary Metabolites: Occurrence, S...
Advanced Nutrition and Dietetics in Gastroenterology
Advanced Nutrition and Dietetics in Gastroenterology provides informative and broad-ranging coverage of the relation between nutrition and diet and the gastrointestinal tract. It explores dietary factors involved in causation of a variety of gastrointestinal disorders, as well as the effects on diet and the treatments available. It also provides an overview of anatomy and physiology, measurement and assessment of function, and dietary components relevant to gastrointestinal health. ABOUT THE SERIES Dietary recommendations need to be based on solid evidence, but where can you find this information? The British Dietetic Association and the publishers of the Manual of Dietetic Practice present ...
Gastrointestinal Microbiology
Extremely diverse and complicated bacterial and protozoan populations inhabit the rumen and intestinal tract of animals, and there is a delicate balance among the individual populations within this complex microbial community. This authoritative edited volume, the first in a two-volume set, reviews the gut environment and the fermentations taking place in animal digestive tracts. It is an essential source of reference for microbial ecologists and physiologists, medical microbiologists and gastroenterologists, biochemists, nutritionists, veterinarians and animal scientists, and wildlife ecologists.
Principles of Nutritional Assessment
With over 200 newly drafted figures & many new tables drawn from the wealth of data published over the last 15 years, this new edition has been thoroughly revised.
