Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scenes of starvation have drawn the world's attention to Africa's agricultural and environmental crisis. Some observers question whether this continent can ever hope to feed its growing population. Yet there is an overlooked food resource in sub-Saharan Africa that has vast potential: native food plants. When experts were asked to nominate African food plants for inclusion in a new book, a list of 30 species grew quickly to hundreds. All in all, Africa has more than 2,000 native grains and fruitsâ€""lost" species due for rediscovery and exploitation. This volume focuses on native cereals, including: African rice, reserved until recently as a luxury food for religious rituals. Finger millet, neglected internationally although it is a staple for millions. Fonio (acha), probably the oldest African cereal and sometimes called "hungry rice." Pearl millet, a widely used grain that still holds great untapped potential. Sorghum, with prospects for making the twenty-first century the "century of sorghum." Tef, in many ways ideal but only now enjoying budding commercial production. Other cultivated and wild grains. This readable and engaging book dispels myths, often based on Western bias, about the nutritional value, flavor, and yield of these African grains. Designed as a tool for economic development, the volume is organized with increasing levels of detail to meet the needs of both lay and professional readers. The authors present the available information on where and how each grain is grown, harvested, and processed, and they list its benefits and limitations as a food source. The authors describe "next steps" for increasing the use of each grain, outline research needs, and address issues in building commercial production. Sidebars cover such interesting points as the potential use of gene mapping and other "high-tech" agricultural techniques on these grains. This fact-filled volume will be of great interest to agricultural experts, entrepreneurs, researchers, and individuals concerned about restoring food production, environmental health, and economic opportunity in sub-Saharan Africa.

Download or read book Advanced Nutrition written by Carolyn D. Berdanier and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosion of knowledge about satiety and hunger has given new meaning to our understanding of the genetics of obesity. New interest in gene expression as related to nutrition and advances in the field of macronutrients has made the latest nutrition research intriguing. Advanced Nutrition: Macronutrients adopts an integrated approach to the understanding of macronutrient nutrition. It provides scientific foundations of the current findings on energy balance, protein need, gene expression, and carbohydrate and lipid use, and maintains emphasis on the biochemical and physiological basis for nutrient need.

This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutritional security and ecosystem sustainability are the biggest challenges of the 21st century. Globally ~ 2.3 billion people suffer from malnutrition. According to estimates by the World Bank, malnutrition globally costs ~ $ 3.5 trillion per year. On the other hand, the production and availability of staple food is the major emphasis for conventional farming in developing and underdeveloped countries for assured food security. These staple foods are high in carbohydrates and energy availability but low in nutritional value, such as concerning micronutrient, phytochemical, and vitamin contents. Apart from adequate food, there should be consistent access, availability, and affordability of foods and beverages that are nutrient-dense, promote well-being, and minimize diseases. From the experience of the recent COVID-19 crisis, the importance of adequate dietary habits has been emphasized globally since food nutrients are considered inherent sources of immunomodulation.

Download or read book Diversity Genetics and Health Benefits of Sorghum Grain written by Davina Rhodes and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Staple cereal crops provide the majority of nutrients to the world's population, and thus, can significantly impact human nutrition and health. Phenotypic and genetic diversity within a crop can be useful for biofortification and crop improvement, but quantitative phenotyping is needed to identify varieties with high or low concentrations of a nutrient of interest, and to identify alleles responsible for quantitative trait variation of the nutrient. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a diverse and widely adapted cereal crop that provides food for more than 500 million people in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, and is becoming increasingly popular in specialty grain products in the United States. Sorghum is a valuable resource for nutrient diversity, as adaptation to different environments has led to extensive phenotypic and genetic diversity in the crop. Many sorghum varieties are rich in flavonoids, primarily 3-deoxyanthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins, which appear to protect against chronic inflammatory diseases. Most studies have only explored the health benefits of a small number of sorghum accessions, but over 45,000 sorghum accessions exist in crop gene banks. A large genetically diverse sorghum panel can be used to identify varieties with high concentrations of flavonoids and to explore the effects of natural variation of sorghum flavonoids on inflammation. This same resource can also be used to identify varieties with high concentrations of protein, fat, or starch, which can lead to improved nutritional value of sorghum grain. The overall aim of my dissertation project was to quantify sorghum flavonoids and identify allelic variants controlling them; quantify grain composition more broadly (protein, fat, and starch) and identify allelic variants controlling them; and investigate anti-inflammatory properties of sorghum extracts with contrasting levels of flavonoids. Using a large germplasm resource (USDA National Plant Germplasm System), highthroughput methods of phenotyping (near-infrared spectroscopy) and genotyping (genotyping-by-sequencing), association mapping (genome-wide association studies), and in vitro inflammation models, the work presented here provides new insights into the diversity, genetics, and anti-inflammatory properties of sorghum nutrients that are important to human health. It provides a survey of grain nutrient diversity in a large global panel of sorghum, identifies quantitative trait loci and candidate genes for underlying controls of these nutrients, and demonstrates that a larger variety of sorghum accessions than previously thought have anti-inflammatory properties.
Download or read book Handbook of Millets Processing Quality and Nutrition Status written by C. Anandharamakrishnan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book offers an updated perspective on the unique characteristics of millets. Millets are consumed for their health/nutritional benefits, and in the preparation of specialty foods for target groups – from pediatrics to geriatrics. Recent trends suggest the importance of millet in the human diet due to their nutritional importance, ability to grow in high temperatures and drought conditions, and their resistance to pests and diseases. This book highlights different types of millet and discusses their properties as well as nutritional and anti-nutritional values. In addition, the book also provides information on the physiochemical properties, future prospects, current methodologies, and agricultural practices. The last few parts cover the emerging technologies in millet processing, by-products utilization, quality standards, and the current millet industry scenario. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the status of millet processing, quality, and nutraceutical product manufacture. The book is a resourceful read for students and researchers in food sciences, as well as industry experts.
