"Food and Industry 5.0: Transforming the Food System for a Sustainable Future" offers a groundbreaking exploration of cutting-edge technologies reshaping the global food landscape. This comprehensive volume delves into innovations driving the fifth industrial revolution in food production and distribution. The book examines nanotechnology and biosensor applications in food processing and safety, analyzing their potential to revolutionize quality monitoring, extend shelf life, and enhance traceability. It unveils the transformative power of artificial intelligence and machine learning across the food value chain, from plant disease detection to sustainable poultry production. Significant attention is given to the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and digital twin technology in agriculture and food supply chains, offering insights into real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and optimization techniques. The text explores robotics in food manufacturing, emphasizing advancements in efficiency, waste reduction, and safety. Crucial methodologies for quantifying and analyzing complex agricultural data are addressed, presenting both regression and classification approaches in precision agriculture. Sustainability is a key focus, with chapters examining nano-fertilizers, soil amendments, and AI-integrated crop systems designed to advance UN Sustainable Development Goals. Blockchain technology's role in enhancing food traceability and safety is investigated, complete with real-world case studies. The book addresses the complex regulatory landscape surrounding Industry 5.0 technologies, including waste management in hospitality and ethical considerations of AI deployment. Concluding chapters offer forward-looking analyses of emerging trends in dairy, diet, and hospitality subsectors. This meticulously researched volume employs a wide array of methodologies, from experimental studies to economic modeling and qualitative research. "Food and Industry 5.0" is an indispensable resource for food scientists, agricultural researchers, computer scientists, policymakers, and industry professionals. By bridging multiple disciplines, it provides a scientifically rigorous, data-driven roadmap for creating a more sustainable, efficient, and ethical global food system.

As we know diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic endocrine disorder. According to the WHO and American Diabetes Mellitus, diabetes mellitus is the 3rd leading cause of death if we were to include all secondary complications. However without including secondary complications, it is 7th place in mortality and morbidity. The point to be considered in the case of diabetes mellitus is the secondary complications caused in this condition. Almost all organs affected by diabetes and results in a potentially worse condition. The major secondary complications are neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, and diabetes foot microvascular and macrovascular complications. The long term complications grow slowly in the case of diabetes. As the time living with diabetes becomes longer, controlled glucose levels will be more difficult to achieve, meaning there there will be more long term complications. The aim of the current Research Topic on the secondary complications of diabetes and their management is to publish good quality research articles as well as reviews, which should address the management of diabetes, abnormalities of secondary complications and other disease involved in diabetes. Potential Topics includes but not restricted to: • Secondary complications of diabetes mellitus • Microvascular and macrovascular complications • The role of oxidative stress in the diabetes burden • New insights in glycemic control • New strategies/ approaches to manage secondary complications such as Stearoyl CoA dismutase, Acetyl CoA Carboxylase, Adiponectin/ Adipocyte complement-related protein 30, Hormone Sensitive Lipase (HSL) Inhibitors • Recent development in the therapeutic approaches for glucose management such as Protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B) inhibitors, Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) inhibitors, β3- Adrenergic receptor agonist, Retinoid X receptor, PPARα agonist, AMP activated protein kinase • Development of new target as a target for antihyperglycemic drug designing

Plant extracts or their pure natural constituents have been used traditionally for thousands of years for treating diseases with considerable success in India and other Asian countries. In addition, they have also been used as complements or supplements with conventional medicine. This book discusses the latest research in the application of combination therapy, namely herbs and drugs, in the treatment of a range of communicable and non-communicable diseases to achieve a synergistic effect. This synergy may help in reducing the amount of drug, its toxicity, side effects, and development of resistance as well as improve its efficacy. The book also discusses the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic parameters, experimental tools to determine the impact of combination, computational approaches to identify synergy, statistical analysis of data, and clinical and regulatory issues. The book is useful for researchers in the fields of pharmacology, pharmacy and medicinal chemistry and those working in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. This book could open up new strategies to focus on multiple targets to combat complex diseases unlike the single targeted drugs that are being currently marketed by the pharmaceuticals industries.
