The text focuses on the structural characteristics of biopolymers including starch, non-starch polysaccharides, proteins and fats. A full section is dedicated to the nutraceutical potential and applications of these polymers. Further sections provide comprehensive overviews of the development of functional food products and important data on biopolymer behavior and nutraceutical potential during processing. Researchers hoping to gain a basic understanding of the techno-functional, nutraceutical potential and applications of food biopolymers will find a singular source with this text. \u003cbr\u003eThe first section of this work focuses on the the structure, functions, bioactivity and applications of starches. The next chapters cover non-starch polysaccharides. Further sections are dedicated to proteins, lipids and oils. A detailed overview is provided for each, followed by application procedures, specifics on individual types, proteins and enzymes, and nutraceutical properties. This work can be used as a singular source for all relevant information on food biopolymers and their structural and functional properties, including their potential to increase food quality, improve shelf life, and reduce pollution and waste in the food industry.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSection I: Starch: Structure, functions, bioactivity and applications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarch - An overview\u003cbr\u003eResistant starch and slowly digestible starch\u003cbr\u003eNutraceutical properties of resistant and slowly digestible starch\u003cbr\u003eRecent advances in the application of starch, resistant starch and slowly digestible starch\u003cbr\u003eSection II: Non-starch polysaccharides: Structure, functions, bioactivity and applications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeta-glucans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePectin\u003cbr\u003eArabinoxylans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDietary gums\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSection III: Proteins: Structure, functions and applications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFood proteins- An overview\u003cbr\u003eBioactive peptides\u003cbr\u003eNutraceutical properties of bioactive peptides\u003cbr\u003eRecent advances in analysis of food proteins\u003cbr\u003eProteins as enzymes- An overview\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExogenous enzymes\u003cbr\u003eAdvances in the application of food proteins and enzymes\u003cbr\u003eSection IV: Lipids and oils: Structure, functions, bioactivity and applications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLipids and oils - An overview\u003cbr\u003eNutraceutical properties of lipids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdvances in the applications of lipids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49415616528727,"sku":"9783030270636","price":98.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783030270636.jpg?v=1730527529","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/food-biopolymers-structural-functional-and-nutraceutical-properties-9783030270636","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
