Anxiety, Gut Microbiome, and Nutraceuticals
Healthy gut function is associated with normal central nervous system (CNS) function. Hormones, neurotransmitters, and immunological factors released from the gut are known to send signals to the brain either directly or via autonomic neurons. Recently, studies have emerged focusing on variations in the microbiome and the effect on various CNS disorders, including, but not limited to anxiety, depressive disorders, schizophrenia, and autism. Anxiety, Gut Microbiome, and Nutraceuticals: Recent Trends and Clinical Evidence is focused on understanding the role of gut microbiomes on anxiety and how it can be treated using various nutraceuticals. It covers recent trends and clinical evidence in ap...
Molecular Mechanisms of Action of Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals for Chronic Diseases
There has been a global rise in the incidence of chronic illnesses, which may be partially attributed to the lengthening of the average human lifespan. Functional foods and nutraceuticals have a potential role to play in the development and maintenance of health. They can assist the body in its battle against inflammation and chronic illnesses. Molecular Mechanisms of Action of Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals for Chronic Diseases addresses the effects and mechanism of functional foods in relation to chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, etc. This volume, like the first volume Applications of Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals for Chronic Diseases, ...
Flavonoids and Anti-Aging
The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) was described as a master regulator of the cellular antioxidant response. Moreover, many critical biological functions linked to cell viability, metabolism, autophagy, inflammation, immunity, and differentiation have been attributed to Nrf2, which regulates over 600 genes. It is well known that oxidative stress, which Nrf2 can ameliorate, plays a key role in many pathologic processes such as aging, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Flavonoids, on the other hand, through their ability to activate and upregulate Nrf2, can have anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, and anti-carcinogenic properties. Flav...
Marine-Based Bioactive Compounds
The ocean offers boundless benefits to human health. Known for millennia as a source of food, it is continuously gaining recognition as a provider for a variety of materials, and as the largest habitat on our planet, the ocean’s biodiversity stands far above anywhere else. Functional ingredients derived from marine algae, invertebrates, and vertebrates can help fill the need for novel bioactives to treat chronic conditions such as cancer, microbial infections, and inflammatory processes. The latest addition to the Nutraceuticals: Basic Research/Clinical Applications series, Marine-Based Bioactive Compounds: Applications in Nutraceuticals provides an account of marine-derived nutraceuticals...
Applications of Membrane Technology for Food Processing Industries
Membranes processing techniques are used to help separate chemical components based on molecular size under specific pressure. A great advantage of membrane processing techniques is that it is a non-thermal processing technique, which can retain enormous bioactive constituents to a greater extent. Being a less energy intensive process, this technique is widely used in several food processing industries such as in the clarification of fruit juices and wine; the concentration of milk; the preparation of whey protein concentrate; and water and waste treatment, among others. Applications of Membrane Technology for Food Processing Industries introduces membrane processing techniques, presenting p...
Peppers
There is an increased awareness on the relevance of nutraceutical and functional foods as alternatives to harmful synthetic additives used in industry. Different peppers, with an abundance of bioactive compounds, are highlighted in this book, which provides a comprehensive evaluaton of their importance as nutraceutical and functional foods to all stakeholders in the agri-food and pharmaceutical industries. Peppers: Biological, Health, and Postharvest Perspectives is a valuable addition to the existing information resource on peppers. Key features: Highlights the advancements made in biodiversity, biochemistry and biosynthesis of bioactive compounds of peppers. Reviews the effects of processing methods on the quality of peppers to facilitate further research and development of foods having pepper as an essential nutritional component. Provides help in selecting better processing methods for the management of nutritional attributes and health benefits of peppers. The book provides a blend of basic and advanced information for postgraduate students, researchers and scientists
Nutraceuticals Inspiring the Contemporary Therapy for Lifestyle Diseases
In today's fast-paced and modern world, our lifestyles have undergone a dramatic shift. The conveniences and comforts that accompany our technological advancements have come at a cost – an increased prevalence of lifestyle diseases. Lack of physical activity, stress, sedentary habits, and poor dietary choices have become leading causes of a spurt in varied health complications such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Various health awareness programmes organized by central/state governments, private organizations, and NGOs from time to time have generated interest among common people in exploring organic foods that are free from chemicals and full of nutraceuticals. There ha...
Applications of Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals for Chronic Diseases
While disease is inevitable in humankind, the current century has been burdened with many chronic diseases, most of which are lifestyle mediated and, which in part can be controlled by consuming foods with specific functions. Functional foods are a special category of natural food or nutrient-derived pharmaceutical products containing beneficial biochemicals and phytochemicals beyond their basic nutritional functions. The first of two volumes, Applications of Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals for Chronic Diseases collects information on the association between functional and chronic diseases. The burden of escalating chronic diseases is discussed in the first chapter, and the remaining fou...
Nutraceuticals for Aging and Anti-Aging
Aging can be perceived differently during different times in one’s life. Aging as a process not only influences medical and economic dimensions at an individual level but also at societal and national levels. Aging is a natural process; however, its standard definition in a healthcare context is yet unclear. To delay the aging process and to maintain quality of life until the end of life are two goals of prime importance. Various healthcare approaches are being developed and experimented on to best manage aging as if it is a disease. Nutraceuticals are value-added dietary supplement products and have an immense potential in altering key structures and functions of aging. Nutraceuticals can...
Plant Food Phytochemicals and Bioactive Compounds in Nutrition and Health
Phytochemicals are receiving increasing attention due to their observed nutritional and health-promoting effects in numerous food applications. As plant secondary metabolites with bioactive properties, they may provide desirable health benefits beyond basic nutrition to reduce chronic disease conditions. Their importance in nutrition and health cannot be overstated as it has generated so much interest and studies focused on elucidating their roles has produced so many outstanding results. Plant phytochemicals are readily used in alternative medicine in South East Asia especially, in China and India and they are becoming widely acceptable worldwide. However, very little is still known about t...
