As the demand of healthy food is increasing in the current global scenario, so manufacturers are searching for new possibilities for occupying a major share in a rapidly changing food market. Compiled reports and knowledge on bioprocessing and food products is a must for industry people. In the current scenario, academia, researchers and food industries are working in a scattered manner and different technologies developed at each level are not implemented for the benefits of different stake holders. However, the advancements in bioprocesses are required at all levels for betterment of food industries and consumers.
The volumes in this series will be comprehensive compilations of all the research that has been carried out so far, their practical applications and the future scope of research and development in the food bioprocessing industry. The novel technologies employed for processing different types of foods, encompassing the background, principles, classification, applications, equipment, effect on foods, legislative issue, technology implementation, constraints, and food and human safety concerns will be covered in this series in an orderly fashion. These volumes will comprehensively meet the knowledge requirements for the curriculum of undergraduate, postgraduate and research students for learning the concepts of bioprocessing in food engineering. Undergraduate, post graduate students and academicians, researchers in academics and in the industry, large- and small-scale manufacturers, national research laboratories, all working in the field of food science, agri-processing and food biotechnology will benefit.

In 21st century, more of research reports advocated the importance of healthy diet for health promotion as well as disease prevention and treatment. For human health the functional foods and beverage remain of the utmost importance to growers, researchers, processors and manufacturers of natural substances, bakers, confectioners, dairy product manufacturers, brewers, and ultimately, the consumers. Regardless of energy and nutritional characteristics, numerous health benefits of functional foods are likely to be single major asset of food processing companies. New packaging materials and techniques are being developed to provide more protection to functional foods. Simultaneously, improving food quality and food safety are continue to be critical issues in functional food development and manufacturing.
Against this backdrop, this book encompasses on functional food from different sources across the globe to present latest knowledge on these, for the enhanced appreciation of this topic. A great variety of topics was covered, with the emphasis on the most recent development in functional foods. The chapters presented in this volume throw light on a number of research subjects that have provided critical information on manufacturing of functional foods, their ingredients from different sources, health benefits and their feasibility in food industry. Each chapter also provides background information of the functional food, nutrition, bioactive compounds, health benefits of functional foods and a wealth of useful references that should prove to be an invaluable source for the reader. Self-explanatory illustrations and tables have been incorporated in each chapter complimentary to the main text.
