Description

Improving Health and Nutrition through Functional Foods: Benefits and Applications presents functional foods as a therapeutic approach to disease and overall health and well-being. The book covers various functional foods, such as oilseeds, endemic fruits, and vegetables as foods to consider as complementary treatments for disease management. Written for nutrition researchers, food scientists, graduate students and other food science and health professionals, this book will be a welcomed reference for those who wish to better understand the role of bioactive compounds and functional foods in the treatment and prevention of disease.
