Globally, enteric infections represent one of the biggest challenges faced by humanity. According to the global burden of diseases study 2016, it has been estimated that diarrhoeal illness causes approximately 1.7 million deaths annually and results in 74 million disability-adjusted life years lost. Though antibiotic therapy is the most effective a...
Chapter
One of the most studied neonatal interventions includes the role of probiotics in treating infant infections. The use of probiotics in the pediatric field as an emerging area has been discussed in this chapter. The major focus is on the probiotics that are employed at both commercial and research levels for the prevention of various diseases and in...

Prosopis cineraria is one of the leguminous trees in arid India, and its pods are known as “Sangri”. The study aims to optimize the extraction condition for soluble protein from Sangri seed flour using response surface methodology considering pH (8–12), extraction temperature (30–60 °C) and time (1–3 h) as variables. The optimized condition suggest...

... Wood is considered a universal renewable resource with a high potential to mitigate the effects of energy enterprises. Wood waste and the by-products of the woodworking industry can be used to produce a wide range of useful industrial products [9,10]. The use of wood waste for energy production includes the incineration of waste in the form of sawdust, pellets, pallets, and briquettes. ...
... Eventually, a resin tree or Mesquite Gum can be obtained from the plant and employed for encapsulation of active compounds, fragrances, and natural colors, acting as an emulsifier in oil-to-water processes (Afifi and Al-rub, 2018;Mudgil and Barak, 2020;Vadapalani Nallasivam and Gokhale, 2022). ...
... Plant-based cheese (PBC), also known as cheese analogue (CA), can be described as a cheese-mimicking product originated from vegetable substances rather than milk sources, as well as food additives such as emulsifying salts, hydrocolloids, preservatives, acidifying agents, and sometimes cheese flavouring agents [1]. The first PBC was produced and consumed in China as fermented tofu, which could be traced back to the 17th century and was called "Furu" following the meaning of "spoiled milk." ...
... It limits processed foods, refined grains, added sugars, and trans fats. It uses healthy fats, such as sesame oil, peanut oil, coconut oil, and fish oil [102,103]. It also incorporates herbs and spices for flavour and health benefits. ...
... L -AA is the isomeric form of vitamin C, commonly considered as an antioxidant in the food industry. Along with its antioxidant capacity, it is also known for its ability to facilitate iron absorption, maintenance of the collagen network, facilitation of iron absorption and immunity-boosting properties ( Basak & Gokhale, 2021 ;Dosed ěl et al., 2021 ). Today's consumers are more health-conscious and demand fruit juices rich in vitamin C and antioxidants ( Valero-Mendoza et al., 2023 ). ...
... Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) and its waste products are used in a wide array of food products to increase their commercial value (Semerel et al., 2022;Sonawane et al., 2021). For example, A. vera gel powder is used as a food preservative, texturizer, fat replacer, and as a functional ingredient in baked goods, jellies, jams, and dairy products (Sonawane et al., 2021). ...
... 78 The pulsed light (PL) technique can be utilized as substitute for conventional pasteurization. 79 A PL intensity of 1504-3012 J cm −2 was applied to amla juice.

... The effect of different concentrations of naringin on naringinase activity was shown in Fig. 3. Naringin was often used as an inducer in the production of α-rhamnosidase and naringinase [29,30]. It was clearly shown that naringinase activity initially increased with the increase of naringin concentration, and then decreased with the increase of naringin concentration. ...
... Subcritical (or superheated) water was also used for various applications. In such conditions, its polarity is much lower than in the liquid state, allowing to extract non-polar compounds [15]. Extraction yields of Soxhlet extraction, SFE with CO 2 and superheated water extraction (SWE) at 150 C of eugenol, eugenyl acetate and caryophyllene were compared by Clifford et al. [16] in 1999. ...
