Advances in Food and Nutrition Research, Volume 65

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.
