Handbook of Nutraceuticals Volume II Scale-Up Processing and Automation

Handbook of Nutraceuticals Volume II Scale-Up Processing and Automation

Due in part to an absence of universally accepted standardization methods nutraceuticals and functional foods face regulatory ignorance marketing incompetence and ethical impunity. Even though many researchers believe that there is a connection between nutraceuticals and functional foods and reduced health care expenses as well as disease prevention the credibility and quality control challenge remains. The industry needs more standardized testing reliable reproducible clinical studies to prove the efficacies of products in vivo and in-process controls to maintain universal product quality. The first volume of the Handbook of Nutraceuticals re-defined Nutraceuticals covering the regulatory aspect as well as insisting on the cGMP’s and SOP’s for the nutraceutical manufacturing. This second volume focuses on the scale up processing and automation of nutraceutical production under cGMP production regulations. It covers: Advancements in extraction methods Unit operations involved in scaling up and processing Rheological and flow properties of products as characterization parameters Fortification and value enhancement using nanotechnology Green concepts in food industry Flavoring of nutraceuticals Clinical batch nutraceutical manufacturing New technologies to prevent counterfeiting Automation in nutraceutical industry The nutraceutical market is at the crossroads. With a nearly $200 billion market for nutraceuticals and functional foods by end of 2013 and promising developments in product design and discovery the industry must be ready for intense scrutiny. The standardization of testing clinical studies and adherence to rigorous industry and scientific methods is necessary for the advancement acceptance and development of high quality effective nutraceuticals. With contributions from leading authorities this book brings together hundreds of years of combined experience to provide guidance on how to increase the quality and credibility of nutraceutical products. | Handbook of Nutraceuticals Volume II Scale-Up Processing and Automation

Integrated Water Resources Management Institutions and Livelihoods under Stress Bottom-up Perspectives from Zimbabwe; UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

Integrated Water Resources Management Institutions and Livelihoods under Stress Bottom-up Perspectives from Zimbabwe; UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

The majority of people in Limpopo river basin depend on rainfed agriculture. Unfortunately the Limpopo is water scarce and parts of the basin such as Zimbabwe's Mzingwane catchment are under stress in terms of agro-ecological and socio-politicoeconomic conditions. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has been adopted in the river basin in an attempt to improve water resources management. However it is not known whether or how IWRM has improved practices in water resources management and contributed towards improved livelihoods. This study used a bottom-up approach to analyse water management practices and livelihoods in the river basin. The objective of the study was to understand practices in water resources management at the local level and what drives those practices. Specifically the study analysed: practices in access to water for domestic and productive uses efforts at sustaining livelihoods and the environment water management for agriculture contestations over urban water services and river basin planning. The study showed the importance of context as a driver of practices in water resources management. The demonstrated influence of local level drivers on water resources management and livelihoods suggest that the challenges in water resources management cannot be solved outside of the wider socio-politico-economic realm. | Integrated Water Resources Management Institutions and Livelihoods under Stress Bottom-up Perspectives from Zimbabwe; UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

Perinatal Growth and Nutrition

Perinatal Growth and Nutrition

Preterm infants grow poorly after birth and very commonly develop ex utero growth restriction (EUGR). However the risks and benefits of catch-up growth in preterm infants must be weighed and evidence addressing this warrants examination. Perinatal Growth and Nutrition explores the reasons for EUGR and the long-term effects on developmental outcome and on metabolic risks. It provides clear information on the risks and benefits of faster post-natal growth and catch-up growth in preterm infants and offers tools for better assessment of growth and earlier identification of faltering growth. This book is divided into three sections. The first section covers advances in preterm infant growth standards diagnosis and causes of EUGR and assessments of preterm infant diets. The second section considers the extensive human literature on the effects of in utero and ex utero growth restriction and catch-up growth on long-term metabolic outcomes—such as obesity insulin resistance type 2 diabetes and cardiac disease—and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes including cognition. It also examines evidence for the effect of growth on these outcomes in term and preterm infants. The final section of the book considers ways to reduce the incidence of EUGR in preterm infants and when EUGR does occur to optimize catch-up growth. Topics include assessment of dietary requirements of the diverse population of preterm infants examination of tools for prescribing nutrition to neonatal intensive care unit patients consideration of whether to customize or generalize nutrient intake and fortification of human milk. In addition the last chapter proposes using a Z-score growth chart for improved interpretation of growth data.
