Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. This book offers a comprehensive overview of native food crops commercially grown in Australia, highlighting their nutritional and health properties that are largely unknown globally. These traditional foods boast unique flavors, significant health benefits, and useful functional properties. They are recognized for their promising antioxidant and antimicrobial effects, presenting considerable commercial potential. The content is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the cultivation and production of various Australian native plants (ANP), such as Anise Myrtle, Bush Tomato, Davidson's Plum, and Kakadu Plum. It explores their food and health applications, drawing on Aboriginal traditional knowledge, nutritional characteristics, and bioactive compounds. Additionally, it discusses the anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory properties of ANP, food preservation, and the unique flavors they offer. The second section delves into the commercial applications of ANP, including native plant extracts, cosmetic uses, and the processing of native foods and ingredients. It also examines quality changes during packaging and storage. Finally, the book addresses the importance of value chains connecting producers and consumers, new market opportunities for indigenous food plants, and the safety of using these native foods in the health and food sectors.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Australian Native Plants: Cultivation and Uses in the Health and Food Industries provides a comprehensive overview of native food crops commercially grown in Australia that possess nutritional and health properties largely unknown on a global basis. These native foods have been consumed traditionally, have a unique flavor diversity, offer significant health promoting effects, and contain useful functional properties. Australian native plant foods have also been identified for their promising antioxidant and antimicrobial properties that have considerable commercial potential.This book is divided into three parts: The first part reviews the cultivation and production of many Australian native plants (ANP), including Anise Myrtle, Bush Tomato, Desert Raisin, Davidson's Plum, Desert Limes, Australian Finger Lime, Kakadu Plum, Lemon Aspen, Lemon Myrtle, Muntries, Native Pepper, Quandong, Riberry, and Wattle Seed. It then examines the food and health applications of ANP and discusses alternative medicines based on aboriginal traditional knowledge and culture, nutritional characteristics, and bioactive compounds in ANP. In addition, it reviews the anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory properties of ANP and discusses food preservation, antimicrobial activity of ANP, and unique flavors from Australian native plants.The third section covers the commercial applications of ANP. It focuses on native Australian plant extracts and cosmetic applications, processing of native plant foods and ingredients, quality changes during packaging, and storage of Australian native herbs. The final few chapters look into the importance of value chains that connect producers and consumers of native plant foods, new market opportunities for Australian indigenous food plants, and the safety of using native foods as ingredients in the health and food sectors.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The effects of inadequate diets on the population include malnutrition, non-communicable diseases and obesity. 'Hidden hunger', also known as micronutrient deficiencies, leads to various health-related disorders and diseases. Indigenous plants, in the form of indigenous fruits and leafy vegetables are gaining interest as a source of nutrients and bioactive phytochemicals, satisfying both food demand and health needs. Moreover, with the impact of climate change, and the importance of sustainability of food systems, it is essential that we investigate new, forgotten and alternative crops that can thrive in harsh conditions, require low fertilizer input, and are easily harvestable. This book contains chapters on 33 understudied indigenous fruits and vegetables from all around the world, including African nightshade, amaranth, baobab fruit, Indian gooseberry, red bush apple and snake melon. Each chapter provides: An overview of plant botany. An understanding of the phytonutrient constituents and health-promoting properties of bioactive compounds or metabolites. Information on the biological activity of the functional compounds that will improve productivity and increase utilization of indigenous fruits and vegetables to sustain food security. Impacts of postharvest storage, processing, and traditional food preparation methods. Potential for new product development. This is an essential resource for academic researchers and industry professionals in the fields of horticulture, agriculture, crop science, human health and nutrition. Collation of research on phytonutrient constituents of traditional fruits and vegetables, including information on the impact of postharvest processing and cooking practices, plus the impact of biological activities of Indigenous fruits and vegetables on human health. Key resource to fight 'hidden hunger' and achieve diet diversification. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
