E-raamat: Handbook of Cereals, Pulses, Roots, and Tubers: Functionality, Health Benefits, and Applications

"Cereals, pulses, roots, and tubers are major food sources worldwide and make a substantial contribution to the intake of carbohydrates, protein, fiber, as well as vitamin E and B. The Handbook of Cereals, Pulses, Roots, and Tubers: Functionality, HealthBenefits, and Applications provides information about commercial cereals, pulses, and their nutritional profile, as well as health benefits and their food and non-food applications. Split into four major subsections, this handbook covers all the recent research about the related crops and outlines matters needing further research in the field of agriculture sciences. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis of nutrients and bio-actives, and their beneficial effects on human health is well highlighted in this text. The conclusions drawn and future perspectives proposed in each chapter will also help researchers to take more focused approaches. The result of various well-versed researchers across the globe sharing their knowledge and experience, this handbook will be a valuable resource for students, researchers, and industrial practioners alike who wish to enhance their knowledge and insights on cereals, pulses, roots, and tubers"--
