    by CRC Press

    Health-Promoting Food Ingredients in Food 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, bio accessibility 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 scientists, nutritionists, food biotechnologists, food engineers, and chemists the book explains how this leads to opportunities in the treatment of diseases such as obesity, cancer, and diabetes that are important to human health.
