Algae have a long history of use as foods and for the production of food ingredients. There is also increasing interest in their exploitation as sources of bioactive compounds for use in functional foods and nutraceuticals. This volume reviews key topics in these areas, encompas…
Algae have a long history of use as foods and for the production of food ingredients. There is also increasing interest in their exploitation as sources of bioactive compounds for use in functional foods and nutraceuticals. Functional ingredients from algae for foods and nutrace…
This book reviews key topics relating to the use of algae as food and nutriceutical and the production of food ingredients, encompassing both macroalgae (seaweeds) and microalgae. Topics covered include chemical structures of algal polysaccharides and other compounds; the biolog…
At present, there is growing interest in high pressure bioscience and biotechnology. The activities are nearly equally distributed between fundamental research and applications. With original work on marine and terrestrial microbiology, biochemicstry, molecular biology, deep-sea…

Focusing on the scale up, processing, and automation of nutraceutical production under cGMP production regulations, this volume introduces processing techniques including homogenization, particle size reduction, emulsification, and cell disruption.
Due in part to an absence of universally accepted standardization methods, nutraceuticals and functional foods face regulatory ignorance, marketing incompetence and ethical impunity. Even though many researchers believe that there is a connection between nutraceuticals and funct…
