Description

Prebiotics and Probiotics in Disease Regulation and Management

The book covers all the emerging technologies and the challenges related to the synthesis and application of prebiotics and probiotics. This includes recent developments in the delivery of prebiotics and probiotics for the treatment of various diseases, the immune-boosting activity of emerging prebiotics and probiotic ingredients, and their anti-cancer and anti-tumour potential.

The demand for biobased products is increasing enormously, with prebiotic oligosaccharides and probiotics occupying a major share of the food industry. Even though the majority of agro waste is currently being used for the production of 2G biofuels, agro waste such as citrus peel, sugar beet pulp, copra meal, and wheat husk can be considered for the production of prebiotic oligosaccharides. Prebiotics are dietary fibres that are selectively fermented by the microbes present in the gut and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, thereby regulating the growth of harmful bacteria.

The book highlights the importance of nutraceuticals (prebiotics and probiotics) in maintaining gut homeostasis, preventing and treating gut-related disorders, acting as anti-cancer agents, and serving as immune-modulatory agents, as well as the treatment of metabolic disorders. It addresses the current challenges involved in the formulation and development of nutraceuticals. Additionally, the book explores the application of nanotechnology and bioinformatics-based approaches to study the effect of nutraceuticals on oral health and gut microflora in a precise manner.

Audience:
The book is intended for food scientists and biotechnologists, researchers in nutraceuticals and food processing research companies, nutraceutical/supplement product developers, and professionals in pharmaceutical companies.
