What is Wild Edible Plants: Improving Food’s Nutritional Value and Human Health through Biotechnology about?

Wild plants have been used by humans as an important source of nutrition since ancient times. They are rich in health-promoting compounds such as phenols, flavonoids, antioxidants, vitamins, trace elements, and dietary fibers. When incorporated into food products, these materials enhance the nutritional value, functionality, and sensory qualities of traditional foods. This book explores the biotechnological approaches to developing meat, bakery, and confectionery products, as well as beverages, enriched with wild edible plants. It highlights recent advancements in the use of wild plants as natural emulsifiers, stabilizers, and thickeners in water-in-oil emulsion-based food systems. Additionally, it discusses the potential applications of edible algae and wild mushrooms in both food and medicine.Key Features:Describes novel functional foods utilizing edible wild plant-based raw materialsPresents innovative technologies for producing meat, bakery, and confectionery products and beverages enriched with wild plant-based ingredientsProposes the application of wild plants in water-in-oil emulsion-based food systemsExplores the use of wild algae in the development of functional food produ
