Plant-Based Functional Foods and Phytochemicals: From Traditional Knowledge to Present Innovation covers the importance of the therapeutic health benefits of phytochemicals derived from plants. It discusses the isolation of potential bioactive molecules from plant sources along with their value to human health. It focuses on physical characteristics, uniqueness, uses, distribution, traditional and nutritional importance, bioactivities, and future trends of different plant-based foods and food products. Functional foods, beyond providing basic nutrition, may offer a potentially positive effect on health and cures for various disease conditions, such as metabolic disorders (including diabetes), cancer, and chronic inflammatory reactions. The volume looks at these natural products and their bioactive compounds that are increasingly utilized in preventive and therapeutic medications and in the production of pharmaceutical supplements and as food additives to increase functionality. It also describes the concept of extraction of bioactive molecules from plant sources, both conventional and modern extraction techniques, available sources, biochemistry, structural composition, and potential biological activities.

Cereals are the principal dietary components of human diet and have been for several thousand years. Whole grain cereals are not only an excellent source of energy, but also enrich the diet. The processing of cereals prior to consumption is a necessary step in production chain to make them palatable and enhance bio- and techno-functional performance. Cereal Processing Technologies: Impact on Nutritional, Functional, and Biological Properties reviews cereal processing technologies and their impact on quality attributes of cereals, detailing the processing techniques of cereals with recent advancements followed by their impact on nutritive, functional and biological potential. Each chapter covers three major components as a) technological details for the processing treatment, b) impact on nutritive, functional and biological properties and c) characterization of processed products. Key Features: Focuses on different cereals for nutritive and functional characteristics Explores mechanical, biological, thermal and non-thermal processing treatments of cereals Presents impact of different treatments on biological and techno-functional properties of cereals Discusses characteristics of the processed products The contents of Cereal Processing Technologies are an asset for researchers, students and professionals, and can be potentially used as a reference and important resource for academia and future investigations. This book helps readers identify how different techniques for processing cereal grains enhance the targeted nutritional and functional quality.

Redox Signaling in Wound Healing in Elderly Populations: Theoretical Basis, Part 1 deals with wounds in different types and locations (diabetic, ischemic, post-operational) in subcellular and macro dimensions, examine their relationship with aging aim to target deteriorating redox signaling cascades, and will also focus on promising therapeutic approaches. Understanding the indication for the use of new therapeutics targeting the illuminated pathways in wound healing will help adjust treatment regimens befitting modern medicine. Ineffective redox adaptation and disseminated oxidative injury are the hallmarks of continuing oxidative stress. However, oxidative stress cannot be simply described as the imbalance between ROS formation and antioxidant defense capacity; it also covers impairment in redox sensing and signaling pathways. The term oxidative stress is an expression that is losing its use in modern redox biology. It is now an accepted fact that ROS cannot be described as an apparent enemy or friend. Its optimum level modulates signal transduction and stress responses by acting as a second messenger for redox-sensitive cascades. Redox-dependent second messengers are generated in subcellular locations according to specific rules and regulations. Their appearance depends on cellular needs in response to external and internal stimuli variations. A good understanding of the wound healing cascades, which deteriorate especially in advancing ages, is critical in developing the most appropriate approach. To understand the redox signaling mechanisms and healing cascades in wound healing, to pioneer new pharmacoactive drugs that can be developed based on these mechanisms, to reveal the deteriorating dynamics in the elderly patient group, and to propose new treatment methods suitable for the advanced age group. - The only source where all intracellular and intercellular redox homeostasis, cascades, and mechanisms of wound healing in elderly people - Deals with wounds in different types and locations (diabetic, ischemic, post-operational) in subcellular and macro dimensions, examine their relationship with aging, and aim to target deteriorating cascades - It will help adjust redox-based treatment regimens befitting modern medicine
