Acacia a moderate-sized, deciduous tree and recognised as health-promoting species because of availability of essential bioactive components. The bioactive compounds such as tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, fatty acids and polysaccharides (gums) present in the plant parts of acacia, namely, bark, leaves, flowers, fruits, twigs and seeds, have medicinal value and thus are used to overlay the formulations of plant-based drugs and value-added foods. Design/methodology/approach Major well-known bibliometric information sources such as Web of Science, Scopus, Mendeley and Google Scholar were searched with keywords such as “nutrition value of acacia”, “bioactive compounds”, “health benefits”, “processing and safety” were chosen to obtain a database of 1,428 papers. The search considered papers in the English language from the past 18 years of publication in journals (2004–...

Probiotics belong to this in-demand category of functional and nutraceutical foods. Probiotics are selected viable microorganisms, administered in particular amounts, that provide numerous benefits. However, the viability of the microorganisms in harsh thermal processing, storage conditions, and the acid/bile conditions of the gastrointestinal tract is a major concern for the food industry. Microencapsulation technology can provide suitable carriers for probiotics to improve their viability and targeted release. Probiotic encapsulation technology can protect probiotic microorganisms from the hostile conditions of the digestive system. Research is under way to design suitable coating materials and technology for microcapsule preparation. This chapter discusses methods of microencapsulation and improvements in probiotic delivery in the human system.

Design/methodology/approach Nutrikinetics is an extended version of pharmacokinetics that is used for studying the bioavailability and bioaccessibility of components through different techniques such as metabolic profiling, multi-level data analysis and population-based modeling. Findings There are different phases of nutrikinetics study of the bioactive components. The initial stage of nutrikinetics is starting from simplest in-vitro assay which is applicable in the early stage of functional foods development. Thereafter, the next stage of nutrikinetics studies are related to human intervention studies as designed by European Food Safety Authority. The aim of such studies are to develop dose-exposure and exposure r...

In present work overall quality improvement was achieved by analyzing (a) thermal properties of RBG and EBG flour (b) rheological properties (shear stress, shear rate, storage modulus, loss modulus, deflection angle and complex viscosity) of legume based snack dough and (c) post frying characteristics (colour and texture) of legume based snack. Three different legume based snack samples with different flour formulations (RBG flour, RBG flour incorporated with 25% EBG flour and RBG flour incorporated with 50% EBG flour) were prepared, characterized and compared with standard market sample. Dough exhibited shear thinning behaviour and G' and G″ showed rising behaviour with angular frequency whereas, complex viscosity showed decreasing behaviour. Herschel-Bulkley model was best fitted.

Whey is highly contaminated, with a high organic load around 100,000 mg O2/L COD (chemical oxygen demand), and is not used for further processing. The waste generated in different food industries can be utilized in different value addition product with the help of advanced technology. Design/methodology/approach Major well-known bibliometric information sources are the Web of Science, Scopus, Mendeley and Google Scholar. Several keywords like nutrition value of whey, whey utilization, whey valorization, whey technologies, whey beverages, fruit-based whey beverage, carbonated beverage, probiotic or alcoholic beverages, herbal beverage, fermented beverage and current scenarios were chosen to obtain a large range of papers to be analyzed. A final inventory of 126 scientific sources was made after sorting and classifying them according to differen...

The major bioactive compounds present are iso-limonene, citral, limonene, phenolics, flavonones, vitamin C, pectin, linalool, decanal, and nonanal, accounting for several health benefits. Pectin and heteropolysachharides also play a major role as dietary fibers. The potential impact of citron and its bioactive components to prevent or reverse destructive deregulated processes responsible for certain diseases has attracted different researchers' attention. The fruit has numerous nutraceutical benefits, proven by pharmacological studies; for example, anti-catarrhal, capillary protector, anti-hypertensive, diuretic, antibacterial, antifungal, anthelmintic, antimicrobial, analgesic, strong antioxidant, anticancerous, antidiabetic, estrogenic, antiulcer, cardioprotective, and antihyperglycemic. The present review explores new insights into the benefits of citron in va...

On another note, valorisation of food by-products such as whey which causes serious environmental pollution into whey protein concentrate and associated foods of health benefits has been on the rise. This study was designed with the intent of contriving a novel, synbiotic whey-based product with the innovative employment of cereals (oats and wheat bran) as prebiotics. Lactobacillus plantarum was adopted as probiotic microorganism based on its superlative performance in experimental tests and WPC-70 (70% Whey Protein Concentrate) was taken as substrate. The proteolytic potential of the probiotic strain was analyzed by o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) test and found to be 101.5 and 96.8 µg/ml for wheat bran and oat-based products, with subsequent affirmation by SDS-PAGE. Starter culture concentration and fermentation time were optimized on the basis of growth activity, as indicated by viable count and pH. Turmeric juice was incorporated for the improvement of the organoleptic properties and was found to possess no inhibitory effect on the probiotic at that concentration. Refrigerated storage for 25 days fostered a reduction in pH and cell viability (p ≤ 0.05).

This has led scientists to explore natural sources that are safe as well as potent. Microbes have been explored for over decades for natural products and have been the vast reservoir of secondary metabolites of drugs potential. Because of their huge diversity and particular habituation, they can act as good resource to obtain bioactive secondary metabolites. Endophytes have been exploited to get drug-like molecules that have antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic, antileishmaniasis, and antiviral activities. Here we review endophytic fungi as storehouse of naturally occurring bioactive secondary metabolites.
