Beskrivelse

Biofortification is a widely accepted cost-effective agricultural strategy to improve the nutritional status of deficient nutrient in the populations worldwide. It is significantly important and changing the lives of millions of people in low-income and developing nations, with poor diet diversification. Strategies for biofortification that employ crop breeding, targeted genetic alteration, and agronomy show significant promise for resolving multiple forms of human malnutrition. To increase the bioavailability of food nutrients, biofortification efforts must focus on improving the nutrient content of food and decreasing anti-nutrients. This book covers the basics of biofortification, international efforts, challenges, opportunities, and the use of the latest omics technologies in addition to classical approaches. It covers the most studied micronutrients, vitamin biofortification, and the new topics of dietary fibers, starch quality, and phenolics. It uniquely covers the antinutrients like phytic acid, ODAP, and Glucosinolates. It also writes about food bioavailability, scientific research, and meta-analyses to assess the health-promoting efficacy of different nutrients. The book attempts to cover all bases, from decision considerations to prospects, as well as biofortification of nutrients, antinutrient reduction, and the use of latest technology to aid in the nutritional enhancement of virtually all recorded food crops.
