Biotechnology of Lactic Acid Bacteria
This title represents a broad review of current research on LAB and their novel applications with contributions from a number of well-known leading scientists. The book encompasses a wide range of topics including both traditional and novel developing fields, and provides unparalleled, comprehensive information on new advances of genomics, proteomics, metabolism and biodiversity of LAB. Chapters contain state-of-the-art discussions of specific LAB applications such as their use as probiotics, live vaccines and starter cultures in old and new fermented products. The safety of these microorganisms and their interactions with diverse ecosystems natural biota are also covered as well as the new applications of well-known (bacteriocins) and novel (vitamins, low-calorie sugars, etc.) metabolites produced by LAB. This book is an essential reference for established researchers and scientists, doctoral and post-doctoral students, university professors and instructors, and food technologists working on food microbiology, physiology and biotechnology of lactic acid bacteria.
The Human Microbiota and Chronic Disease
Microbiota-associated pathology can be a direct result of changes in general bacterial composition, such as might be found in periodontitis and bacterial vaginosis, and/or as the result of colonization and/or overgrowth of so called keystone species. The disruption in the composition of the normal human microbiota, or dysbiosis, plays an integral role in human health and human disease. The Human Microbiota and Human Chronic Disease: Dysbioses as a Cause of Human Pathology discusses the role of the microbiota in maintaining human health. The text introduces the reader to the biology of microbial dysbiosis and its potential role in both bacterial disease and in idiopathic chronic disease state...
Health-Promoting Food Ingredients during Processing
Health-Promoting Food Ingredients during Processing presents a comprehensive science-based approach covering the latest naturally occurring bioactive compounds in seeds, dietary fiber, proteins, fermented bio-compounds, agro-industrial waste by-products, and lactic acid bacteria. A volume in the Food Biotechnology and Engineering Series, the book discusses their identification, characterization, biological activities in terms of their bioavailability, bioaccessibility, and their beneficial effects as inflammatory mediators, probiotics, antioxidants, and hypoglycemic agents, as well as in gastrointestinal digestion and colonic fermentation. Written by an international expert team of food scie...
Prebiotics and Probiotics Science and Technology
A comprehensive overview on the advances in the field, this volume presents the science underpinning the probiotic and prebiotic effects, the latest in vivo studies, the technological issues in the development and manufacture of these types of products, and the regulatory issues involved. It will be a useful reference for both scientists and technologists working in academic and governmental institutes, and the industry.
Microbiome Engineering
This reference book compiles the latest techniques and applications of microbiome engineering. Microbial communities interact dynamically with their hosts, creating a considerable impact on the host and their ecosystem. This book introduces readers to microbiomes and microbiome engineering. It covers topics like omics tools in microbial research, strategies to engineer human microbiomes, the application of synthetic biology to build smart microbes, and the future of microbiome engineering. It includes the application of microbiome engineering in improving human health, livestock, and agricultural productivity. The book is intended for researchers and students in the fields of microbiology and biotechnology.
Immunomodulatory Functions of Nutritional Ingredients in Health and Disease
Nutritional immunology is a rapidly developing field. An expanding body of evidence demonstrates the impact of foods and nutritional components on gut and systemic immunity of consumers. During recent years, the implications of nutrition and nutritional intervention on prevention of disease have become accepted and has become an important tool in management of several diseases. Nutritional immunology might become even more important in the prevention of disease when the interplay between nutritional processes and immune system is better understood. Particularly, specific cellular and molecular immune responses provoked by nutrition and the role of the gut barrier and microbiota in the interplay needs more study. This content of eBook was designed to provide a timely collection on mechanistic, translational and clinical research on the interplay between foods, nutritional components and immunity in physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
Bifidobacteria and Their Role in the Human Gut Microbiota. 2nd Edition
The human intestine is home of an almost inconceivable large number of microorganisms. The human gut microbiota can therefore be pictured as an organ placed within a host organism. The human gut microbiome, which in total may contain >100 times the number of genes present in our genome, endows us with functional features that we did not have to evolve ourselves. It is recognized that intestinal microbiota plays an important role in human health and disease. In fact, gut bacteria other than metabolize dietary components, may play complex roles such as modulation of the immune system and in reduction of gut infections. Variations in the presence and/or abundance of certain components of the in...
Nutritional Pilates
A holistic guide to help you overcome everyday aches and pains and reclaim your vitality. Katrina Foe, author and cancer survivor, knows the frustration of trying to find answers amongst the onslaught of contradicting information. In her struggle with cancer, she felt lost, unsure of what to eat or who to trust. Trying to find weight loss advice only added to the chaos.
