Healthy Foods, Nutrition Design, and Extraction of Valuable Compounds

Herausgeber: Carvajal-Millan, Elizabeth; Haghi, A. K.; Yaser, Abu Zahrim

Beschreibung

Natural Food Products and Waste Recovery: Healthy Foods, Nutrition Design, and Extraction of Valuable Compounds addresses important issues in the design of functional foods and nutraceuticals, extraction of essential compounds, and food waste management. Topics in the nutrition section cover a diverse range of topics, including uses and regulations of functional foods and ingredients, supplements, nutraceuticals, and superfoods; informatics and methods in nutrition design and development; and molecular modeling techniques in food and nutrition development. The volume goes on to address properties, microstructural characteristics, and extraction techniques of bioactive compounds. Chapters also cover the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in food waste management, mitigation, and reuse strategies for food waste. This research-based volume is a valuable reference for professionals involved in product development and researchers focusing on food products. It will be of great interest to postgraduate students and researchers in environmental policy and waste management, as well as policymakers and practitioners in consumer issues and business.

Autor

Elizabeth Carvajal-Millan, PhD, is a Research Scientist at the Research Center for Food and Development (CIAD) in Hermosillo, Mexico, since 2005. She obtained her PhD in France at Ecole Nationale Supérieure Agronomique à Montpellier (ENSAM), her MSc degree at CIAD, and undergraduate degree at the University of Sonora in Mexico. Her research interests are focused on biopolymers, mainly in the extraction and characterization of high-value-added polysaccharides from co-products recovered from the food industry and agriculture, especially ferulated arabinoxylans. In particular, Dr. Carvajal-Millan studies covalent arabinoxylans gels as functional systems for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Globally, Dr. Carvajal-Millan is a pioneer in in vitro and in vivo studies on covalent arabinoxylans gels as carriers for oral insulin focused on the treatment of diabetes type 1. She has published 97 refereed papers, 37 chapters in books, over 100 conference presentations, and two patent registered, with two more submitted. Abu Zahrim Yaser, PhD, is Associate Professor at the Chemical Engineering Programme, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). He obtained his PhD from Swansea University (UK), MSc from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (Malaysia), and BEng from the University of Malaya (Malaysia). Dr. Zahrim's research mainly focuses on waste processing technology, and he has been leading several projects since 2006. To date, Dr. Zahrim has published six books, 19 book chapters, 35 journals and over 50 other publications. He was the Guest Editor for a special issue of Environmental Science and Pollution Research (Springer). He has won several medals in innovation competitions, including a gold medal at iENA 2018, Germany. His innovation entitled "UMS Organic Compost" helps Sabah state to win the "Best State Innovation Award" at IGEM 2019. His invention, the Auto Turning Active Zone Yield Composter (Auto AZY), has been adopted by Tongod District Council, Sabah, for managing their organic waste. Dr. Zahrim has reviewed more than 80 manuscripts (based on Publons) and the Elsevier (UK) has recognized him as among the Outstanding Reviewers for Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering (2018). He was the co-chair for the International Symposium on Carbon and Functional Materials for Energy and Environment (C-MEE 2020). Dr. Zahrim was a visiting scientist at the University of Hull. Dr. Zahrim is a member of Institutions of Chemical Engineers (United Kingdom), Board of Engineers, Malaysia and MyBIOGAS. A. K. Haghi, PhD, is the author and editor of 165 books, as well as 1000 published papers in various journals and conference proceedings. Dr. Haghi has received several grants, consulted for a number of major corporations, and is a frequent speaker to national and international audiences. Since 1983, he served as professor at several universities. He is former Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Chemoinformatics and Chemical Engineering and Polymers Research Journal; and is on the editorial boards of many international journals. He is also a member of the Canadian Research and Development Center of Sciences and Cultures (CRDCSC), Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
