Micronutrients and macronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, form an important and essential part of the human diet, acting as effective nutraceuticals. This new volume explores and explains in detail the various properties of micronutrients and macronutrients and their diverse uses as nutraceuticals.

The volume examines the beneficial properties of micronutrients and macronutrient, such as their antioxidant activity and immunity-boosting properties. The volume considers the roles of microbes and microbial products as nutraceuticals and discusses how micronutrients, macronutrients, and nutraceuticals can be incorporated into the human diet for optimum health, growth of beneficial bacteria in gut, and inhibition of pathogens. The authors emphasize that efficient nutrient delivery of micronutrients and macronutrient is necessary for maximum benefit and explain how to achieve that. The special techniques needed for food processing of micronutrients and macronutrients are covered as well.

Interestingly, the authors look at how disease-promoting habits often unfold in childhood, even prenatally, and employing nutrigenomics at the primary and primordial levels of prevention will go a long way in curbing the prevalence of these chronic diseases later on in life.

With the advent of increasing drug costs and escalating antimicrobial resistance, the pharmacological and antibiotic-like effects of naturally derived nutraceuticals are worth exploring. This volume provides important information toward that goal that will be valuable for researchers, faculty, and graduate students in medical microbiology, pharmacy, chemical engineering, and medical informatics.
