Legumes: Beyond Their Nutritional Value

~~258,38€~~ 232,54€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Throughout history, humans have consumed legumes for their high nutritional value and therapeutic effects, which have been associated with traditional medicine. Because of this, scientists were interested in which compounds contributed to these benefits. Various studies have shown that the nutritional and non-nutritional compositions of legumes offer important biological properties for health. Legumes are a source of vegetable protein, and today, they offer an alternative to animal protein, reducing the consumption of animal protein which, in turn, supports the environment by decreasing the pollution generated by meat production. This book consists of thirteen chapters, focusing mainly on the bioactive compounds found in legumes such as beans, soybeans, chickpeas, peas, lentils, and broad beans. In addition, the characteristics that each one presents will be mentioned, as well as the biological activity they exert. Additionally, two chapters will explore some legumes that are not used daily; however, in various regions of the world, they are used to prepare various dishes and treat some illnesses.

Microencapsulation Of Probiotics: Challenges And Future Prospects

~~212,00€~~ 190,80€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The book "Microencapsulation of Probiotics: Challenges and Future Prospects" addresses a current and extensively researched topic by discussing the potential of incorporating encapsulated probiotics into food to achieve numerous health benefits. When consumed, probiotics adhere to and colonize the intestinal tract, stimulating the immune system and maintaining mucosal integrity. They also produce various compounds that act to reduce or prevent pathogens and diseases. However, to ensure their delivery to the intestinal tract, encapsulation systems have been developed using various processes and materials to protect probiotics from adverse environmental conditions such as acidity, temperature, and oxygen, among others, which can lead to the loss of viability of these microorganisms. This book covers the most commonly employed encapsulation techniques and materials, presenting the potential of encapsulation systems based on recent studies. These include spray drying, coacervation, ionic gelation, and emulsion, as well as combinations of encapsulation techniques and the use of coating layers to enhance probiotic protection and promote controlled delivery. The significant advancements in probiotic encapsulation offered by science are notable, providing not only probiotic protection but also opportunities to use renewable, biocompatible, ecological, and safe-for-consumption materials, in addition to scalable and cost-effective techniques. This scenario allows for diverse applications, increasing the availability of encapsulated probiotic products in the market.
