Wild Fruits: Composition, Nutritional Value and Products by Abdalbasit Adam Mariod Pdf

Wild fruits play an important role in mitigating hunger in the developing world. As a sustainable and natural food source in rural areas, these fruits have a strong effect on regional food security and poverty alleviation. This makes the utilization of wild foods incredibly important for native populations both in terms of food security and economics. There are many traditional methods for wild fruit harvesting, indigenous tree and plant domestication and cultivation passed down through generations that are sustainable and economically viable, ultimately contributing to a better quality of life for large sections of the developing world. To date there has not been a reference work focusing on the full scope of wild fruits from their growth and chemical makeup to their harvest, distribution, health effects and beyond. Wild Fruits: Composition, Nutritional Value and Products adequately fills this gap, expansively covering the utilization of multi-purpose wild fruits in regions worldwide. Effects on quality of life, food security, economics and health are extensively covered. Over 31 wild fruit species are examined, with individual chapters focusing on each species' phytochemical constituents, bioactive compounds, traditional and medicinal uses and chemical composition. Harvest, post-harvest and consumption methods are covered for each, as are their overall effect on the food security and economics of their native regions. This book is essential for researchers in search of a comprehensive singular source for the chemical makeups and cultivation of indigenous wild fruits and their many benefits to their native regions.

Nutraceuticals from Fruit and Vegetable Waste by Vidisha Tomer,Navnidhi Chhikara,Ashwani Kumar,Anil Panghal Pdf

“Bioprocessing in Food Science” is a series of volumes covering the entirety of unit operations in food processing. This latest volume disseminates the recent advances, breakthroughs, and challenges of the valorization of fruit and vegetable industry waste. Numerous researchers have studied fruit and vegetable processing and waste valorization in general, but there is little work available to scientists and engineers regarding real-world solutions to practical everyday problems in this industry. The knowledge has to be made available in book format to facilitate academia, researchers, and the food manufacturing industry to utilize waste for extraction of valuable polysaccharides, additives, and nutraceuticals. This groundbreaking new volume is a comprehensive compilation of all the research that has been carried out so far, their practical applications, and the future scope of research. An earnest effort to capture every possible detail and present an up-to-date compilation of scientific literature, including their own research work, for the benefit of the science has been carried out by the editors and experts in their respective fields who contributed. Students, researchers, product developers, and industry professionals will find the book an invaluable resource and a one-of-a-kind tool.

Transformative Food Value Chains for Local Development by Silke Maria Stöber,Wolfgang Bokelmann,Walter Odongo,Susanne Huyskens-Keil,Joanita Kataike Pdf

Understanding the capacity of food systems to undertake a transformation towards sustainability requires understanding how resources stream in and out of the systems. As complex socio-economic structures, food and agricultural value chains are important means for channeling resources, knowledge, and agency in and out of rural areas. Given their prominent role on the development agendas, there is mixed evidence as to what extent value chains and their actors can contribute to improving the livelihoods in poor rural and urban areas. In order to shape sustainable living places, transformative capacities and good governance are important mainstays. Transformative agri-food value chains are robust and often act as the sole transmission belt for returning capital, resources and identity back into vulnerable areas. Moreover, domestic or regional chains may provide urban consumers with fresh quality food that also contributes to regional identity.

Natural Products and Medicinal Properties of Carpathian (Romanian) Plants by Adina-Elena Segneanu Pdf

Romanian ethnomedicinal knowledge extends as far back as the 16th century to the Geto-Dacian priests who used medicinal plants and practiced integrated holistic medicine. The ethnomedicine continued in monasteries by monks who used cultivated medicinal plants and wild harvested plants. There are now over 800 species of medicinal plants in Romania. An earlier work last century entitled “Pharmaceutical Botany: the Culture and Harvest of Pharmaceutical Plants” by Grinţescu refers to approximately 500 Romanian healing plants, although most of them are not recognized in modern medicine. There is clear evidence of ethnomedicine in this important region, particularly those that are endangered. Features: • Provides an understanding of indigenous plant-derived natural medicines of Romania • Discusses selected plant families that are representative members of the most important medicinal plants in the region. • Includes discussions and critical views on the potential and challenges for further development of the selected plants in a modern setting • Details the important plants and organizes the chapters based on either taxonomy or medical use • Covers traditional and folk medicine of Romania.

Ethnobotany of the Himalayas by Ripu M. Kunwar,Hassan Sher,Rainer W. Bussmann Pdf

Research in recent years has increasingly shifted away from purely academic research, and into applied aspects of the discipline, including climate change research, conservation, and sustainable development. It has by now widely been recognized that “traditional” knowledge is always in flux and adapting to a quickly changing environment. Trends of globalization, especially the globalization of plant markets, have greatly influenced how plant resources are managed nowadays. While ethnobotanical studies are now available from many regions of the world, no comprehensive encyclopedic series focusing on the worlds mountain regions is available in the market. Scholars in plant sciences worldwide will be interested in this website and its dynamic content. The field (and thus the market) of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology has grown considerably in recent years. Student interest is on the rise, attendance at professional conferences has grown steadily, and the number of professionals calling themselves ethnobotanists has increased significantly (the various societies, like the Society for Economic Botany, the International Society of Ethnopharmacology, the Society of Ethnobiology, and the International Society for Ethnobiology currently have thousands of members). Growth has been most robust in BRIC countries. This new MRW on Ethnobotany of the Himalayas takes advantage of the increasing international interest and scholarship in the field of mountain research. It includes the best and latest research on a full range of descriptive, methodological, theoretical, and applied research on the most important plants in the Himalayas. Each contribution is scientifically rigorous and contributes to the overall field of study.
