Nanotechnology Applications in Agricultural and Bioprocess Engineering Farm to Table

Nanotechnology Applications in Agricultural and Bioprocess Engineering Farm to Table

This new volume looks at new research and advances in the use of nanotechnology applications in agricultural and bioprocess engineering. The first section deals with the impact of nanotechnology in agricultural engineering looking at the role of nanomaterials in plant growth and nutrition. It goes on to discuss specific methods and processes in the development of food products nutraceuticals and therapeutics. This includes nanotechnological methods for iron fortification of dairy food for processing and preservation of meat and meat products for selective targeting of cancer and more. The book then discusses the role of nanotechnology in bioprocessing such as for biofuel production for wastewater treatment and as enzymatic nanoparticles for fabrication processes. | Nanotechnology Applications in Agricultural and Bioprocess Engineering Farm to Table

Ethnic Knowledge and Perspectives of Medicinal Plants Volume 2: Nutritional and Dietary Benefits

Ethnic Knowledge and Perspectives of Medicinal Plants Volume 2: Nutritional and Dietary Benefits

This new 2-volume set aims to share and preserve ethnic and traditional knowledge of herbal medicine and treatments while also emphasizing the link between biodiversity human nutrition and food security. Ethnic Knowledge and Perspectives of Medicinal Plants is divided into two volumes with volume 1 focusing on the traditional use of curative properties and treatment strategies of medicinal plants and volume 2 addressing the varied nutritional and dietary benefits of medicinal plants and the practice of Ayurveda. Both volumes stress the importance of bioresources for human nutrition and nutraceuticals based on ethnic knowledge and the need for efforts to protect biodiversity in many regions rich with medicinal plants. Exploring the benefits of medicinal plants in disease prevention treatment and management Volume 1 discusses the traditional use of medicinal plants as promising therapeutics for cancer liver conditions COVID-19 and other human ailments. It examines the efficacy of Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal medicine Indian traditional medicine and other ethnic herbal practices used by indigenous peoples of Azerbaijan South America Turkey India etc. A variety of plants are discussed and the ethnomedicinal applications of over 100 wild mushrooms for their medicinal and healthcare purposes are elaborated on. While volume 1 focuses primarily on natural plant resources for addressing specific health issues volume 2 looks at traditional medicinal plant use for their nutritional and dietary benefits while also encouraging the preservation of biodiversity for healthy and sustainable diets. The volume presents information on over 2200 vascular plant taxa from 127 families as well as many taxa from leaf parts fruits underground parts floral parts seeds and more that have potential use as edible food plants. Ethnic knowledge on the wild edible mushrooms is an emerging area which is unique and is dependent on the folk knowledge of tribals; this volume discusses the unique nutritional attributes of wild edible mushrooms (206 species belonging to 73 genera) in Southern India. The authors look at various lichens as nutritional aids and medicine and as flavoring agents and spices. Fucoidans derived from the seaweeds (and spirulina) are described for their antioxidant activity nutritional and anti-aging properties antiviral activities anti-cancer properties anti-diabetic properties and more. The authors also examine how ethnicity affects healthcare/nutritive systems at different levels through various dynamics such as lower income inability for services uptake disputes among different ethnic groups cultural attitudes (some ethnic group are vegetarian) lack of socio-economic resources and disease prevalence. Together these two important volumes aim to preserve and disseminate the valuable ethnic knowledge of medicinal plants gained over thousands of years and to promote the value of integrating and safeguarding biodiversity. | Ethnic Knowledge and Perspectives of Medicinal Plants Volume 2: Nutritional and Dietary Benefits

Coldwater Fisheries and Aquaculture Management Technology for Sustainable Food Production

Coldwater Fisheries and Aquaculture Management Technology for Sustainable Food Production

This book is a rich resource of important information on coldwater fish farming and coldwater fisheries management including new research and recent technological advances. It aims to provide an understanding of the underlying mechanisms of coldwater physiology of fishes which is essential for effective fishery management and for taking advantage of their vast potential application in aquaculture. Coldwater Fisheries and Aquaculture Management: Technology for Sustainable Food Production elaborates on key aspects associated with reproductive biology and endocrinology of coldwater fishes such as gonadal development and maturation vitellogenesis steroidogenesis whole genome information of fishes transcriptomics proteomics and more. It also looks at genetic modification of coldwater fishes phytobiotic-based feed to attain profitability in aquaculture and the nutritional requirements of coldwater fishes such as plant-based proteins in fish diets and feeding carbohydrates to fish. It also describes the beneficial dietary nutrition of fish consumption by humans. Several chapters address the various challenges to coldwater fish and fishery management such as fish bacterial diseases (along with their immune components and defense mechanisms) unpredictable nature of climate change on fish water pollution etc. The volume also offers strategies on the sustainable management of fish that include looking at pollution in freshwater ecosystems biotechnological interventions predicting threats to fish from climate change and other factors. This volume will be of value to those in fishery management and fish science as well as to marine researchers faculty and students and other involved with aquaculture science and management. | Coldwater Fisheries and Aquaculture Management Technology for Sustainable Food Production
