    Cereals, pulses, roots, and tubers are major food sources worldwide and make a substantial contribution to the intake of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber, as well as vitamin E and B. The Handbook of Cereals, Pulses, Roots, and Tubers: Functionality, Health Benefits, 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 sections, 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, are highlighted in this book. The conclusions drawn and future perspectives proposed in each chapter will also help researchers to take more focused approaches.

    FEATURES

    • Covers the full spectrum of cereals, pulses, roots, and tubers grain production, processing, and their use for foods, feeds, fuels, and industrial materials, and other uses
    • Contains the latest information from grain science professionals and food technologists alike
    • Provides comprehensive knowledge on the nutritional and non-nutritional aspects of cereals, pulses, and tubers
    • Discusses the latest development in modification of native starch
    • Provides information in enhancing shelf life and its utilization in phytochemical rich product development

    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 who wish to enhance their knowledge and insights on cereals, pulses, roots, and tubers.
