This volume sheds light on the health benefits of selected cereal grains, processing technologies of cereals, specific roles of bioactive compounds of cereals in chronic disease prevention, and traditional and latest technologies to improve the functional benefits of cereal-based products. With advancements in cereal science and technology, new methods of processing have emerged that help to preserve or even enhance the health-benefitting properties of cereal grains.
Further, plant breeding and biotechnology have contributed greatly in improving nutritional quality and functionality of these grains. This book provides comprehensive information on the simple as well as advanced methodologies for enhancing the properties of cereals that benefit human health. The volume is divided into four sections : - Functional Benefits of Cereal Grains discusses the health benefits of some selected grains that constituted staple food in the past but have lost their importance in modern times.
- Technological Advances in Cereals covers new approaches in the processing of cereals that ensure maximum retention of health-benefitting components of cereal grains. - Novel Strategies to Enhance Bioactives in Cereals integrates traditional as well as modern technologies with new approaches for improving functional benefits of cereal-based foods. - Role of Cereals in Disease Management elaborates on the specific role of cereal bioactives in prevention of some chronic diseases.
