The current emphasis in preventative medicine encourages healthy lifestyles such as a balanced diet and exercise. In recent years a balanced diet has focused on ensuring functional foods are part of our diet. Functional foods are similar in appearance to conventional foods, but in addition to providing basic nutritional components, have physiological benefits that can reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
The bioactive components responsible for the health benefits of functional foods are referred to as nutraceuticals. The past decade has witnessed a dramatic expansion in research activities worldwide to identify new functional foods and nutraceuticals. The latter will hopefully enhance the health and wellbeing of an aging population.
This project started out innocently enough, with the simple goal of providing a resource to students interested in the microbiology of fermented foods. Since1988, when I first developed a course in fermentation microbiology at the University of Nebraska, there has not been a suitable student text on this subject that I could recommend to my students. Pederson’s Microbiology of Food Fermentations had last been published in 1979 and Fermented Foods, by A.H. Rose, was published in 1982.
