Book Description

Through five editions, and since 1993, Lactic Acid Bacteria: Microbiological and Functional Aspects has provided readers with information on how and why fermentation by lactic acid-producing bacteria improves the shelf life, palatability, and nutritive value of perishable foods and also how these microbes have been used as probiotics for decades. Thoroughly updated (with the current lactobacilli taxonomy) and fully revised, with a rearrangement of chapters into four sections, the Sixth Edition covers new findings on health effects, properties, production and stability of LAB as well as regulatory aspects globally. The new edition also addresses the technological use of LAB in various fermentations of food, feed, and beverage and their safety considerations. It also includes the rising concept of postbiotics and discusses new targets such as cognitive function, metabolic health, and respiratory health. Key Features: In 42 chapters, divided into 4 sections, findings are presented on health effects, properties and stability of LAB as well as production of target-specific LAB. Covers the revised ‘Lactobacillus’ taxonomy Addresses novel topics such as postbiotics Presents new discoveries related to the mechanisms of actions of lactic acid bacteria Covers the benefits of LAB in fermentation of dairy, cereal, meat, vegetable and silage, including non-Western traditional fermented foods from Africa and Asia Discusses the less-known role of LAB as food spoilers Reports on the health benefits of LAB on humans and animals Covers the global regulatory framework related to safety and efficacy

Book Description

Zusammenfassung: This book offers a comprehensive and authoritative review of bioactive substances found in plant underground stems, roots, rhizomes, corms, and tubers from all around the world. Tubers and starchy roots are plants that store edible starch content in underground stems, roots, rhizomes, corms, and tubers. They are a key source for both human and animal consumption and are rich in carbohydrates. They are widely used as industrial crops as well. Phytochemicals found in tubers and roots, such as phenolics, terpenoids, and alkaloids, have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic, and antibacterial properties. Except for common potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cassava, the nutritional and health benefits of many tuberous crops have not yet been adequately investigated. This book sheds new insights into these topics by addressing several plant metabolites found in storage organs, which can be seen as scientifically neglected even though they have a high economic relevance as food and pharmaceutical sources. Divided into 6 parts, this book discusses how bioactive chemicals found in plant storage organs are synthesized and how their bioactive principles are specifically expressed in underground stems, roots, rhizomes, corms, and tubers. Additionally, each chapter includes background information on the plant, its parts, its nutritional makeup, chemical components, and biological functions. Given its breadth, the book appeals to a wide readership, from scholars through graduate and post-graduate students to professionals in the industry

Book Description

An increasing number of studies on probiotics have found strong evidence that bacterial viability is not essential for imparting health benefits. It has been demonstrated in many studies that inactivated bacteria, bacterial cell components (peptidoglycans, lipoteichoic acids), or probiotic-derived metabolites (vitamins, polyphenols, bacteriocin, exopolysaccharides, short-chain fatty acids) can significantly improve host health. In 2021, the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) convened a panel of experts specializing in nutrition, microbial physiology, gastroenterology, pediatrics, food science and microbiology to propose a useful definition of “postbiotic”, which was defined as a “preparation of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confers a health benefit on the host.” Postbiotics have been proven to be excellent health effectors with multiple functions, including alleviating inflammatory bowel syndrome, eradicating Helicobacter pylori residing from the stomach, abrogating the negative effects of stress, anti-inflammation, anti-bacteria, alleviating asthma, anti-infection, anti-tumor, anti-allergy, and so on. In addition to these beneficial effects listed above, postbiotics have several advantages over probiotics, including higher safety, a longer shelf life, and more sites of action (e.g., gut, skin, oral cavity, urogenital tract, or nasopharynx), which will broaden their application fields.

Book Description

This book covers all aspects of probiotic bacteria and their metabolites, as well as their role and significance in human and animal health. Given the role of probiotic bacterial strains in the production of short chain fatty acids, butyrate etc probiotics may be considered as an alternative approach for the prevention or treatment of intestinal dysbiosis, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, hypertensions. Additionally, the significance of probiotics added in aquaculture systems for improving health, performance and growth of aquatic organisms has been highlighted. In this book, the multi-functional role of probiotics and their post-biotic metabolites in improving overall health status of man and animals, is discussed. It is a comprehensive compilation useful for researchers, academics, veterinarians and students in the field of microbiology, food technology and biotechnology.
