The role of green coffee bean (GCB) in human health is of emerging interest to the nutraceutical field, especially given its role in improving metabolic syndrome, including weight management, hypertension, diabetes, and neuroprotection. GCB extract contains a novel antioxidant known as chlorogenic acid (also caffeoylquinic acid), which has been shown to positively affect blood pressure, brain health, diabetes, and weight management. This book provides information on the diverse health benefits of green coffee bean extract, molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways, safety of GCB, dosage, and recommended usage. It focuses on the chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, and safety of GCB extract. GCB extract has brought a remarkable revolution in the nutraceutical marketplace. However, some controversies have been demonstrated recently. This book presents the state-of-the-art research studies from eminent scientists around the world on the potential and diversified health benefits of GCB extracts, with particular emphasis placed on the importance to standardize the appropriate extraction technology, quality control and assurance, and broad spectrum safety studies and human clinical studies to substantiate the regulatory claims and position the product in the marketplace.

Bio-nanotechnology is the key functional technology of the 21stcentury. It is a fusion of biology and nanotechnology based on theprinciples and chemical pathways of living organisms, and refers tothe functional applications of biomolecules in nanotechnology. Itencompasses the study, creation, and illumination of theconnections between structural molecular biology, nutrition andnanotechnology, since the development of techniques ofnanotechnology might be guided by studying the structure andfunction of the natural nano-molecules found in living cells.Biology offers a window into the most sophisticated collection offunctional nanostructures that exists. This book is a comprehensive review of the state of the art inbio-nanotechnology with an emphasis on the diverse applications infood and nutrition sciences, biomedicine, agriculture and otherfields. It describes in detail the currently available methods andcontains numerous references to the primary literature, making thisthe perfect “field guide” for scientists who want toexplore the fascinating world of bio-nanotechnology. Safety issuesregarding these new technologies are examined in detail. The book is divided into nine sections – an introductorysection, plus: Nanotechnology in nutrition and medicine Nanotechnology, health and food technology applications Nanotechnology and other versatile applications Nanomaterial manufacturing Applications of microscopy and magnetic resonance innanotechnology Applications in enhancing bioavailability and controllingpathogens Safety, toxicology and regulatory aspects Future directions of bio-nanotechnology The book will be of interest to a diverse range of readers inindustry, research and academia, including biologists, biochemists,food scientists, nutritionists and health professionals.
