This volume on medicinal foods from the
sea narrates the bioactive principles of various marine floral (vertebrate
and Invertebrate), faunal (Macro and Micro algal) and microbial sources.
Contributions from eminent scientists worldwide explain about the latest
advance implications in the development and application of marine originated
functional foods, as potential pharmaceuticals and medicines for the benefit of
humankind by meeting the present nutraceutical demands.
This book is
completed with the help of many invaluable contributors around the world. This
book is an attempt to describe the present and future prospects of marine
animals and microbes as medicinal foods because the remedies containing natural
ingredients from marine animals go back to the ancient era. The nutritional
elements and biological activities centering around the reported information on
marine animals were discussed with the view of helping the personnel in the
academia and also for general public. Since the synthetically derived materials
show some side effects, huge attention from general public and academia on the
products from natural-based materials including marine animals and microbes
have been gained due to their prominent biological activities and abundance.
Therefore, this book discusses the importance of biologically active compounds
from marine animals under five sections.
