Inhaltsangabe

Underutilized Tuber Crops of the Himalayan Region: Nutraceutical Potential, Processing, and Applications explores significant, yet underutilized, edible tubers known for their bioactive and pharmacological properties, as well as their preservation potential. The book presents detailed information on historical uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, distribution, processing, toxicity, conservation, and future prospects of these tubers, along with their market relevance. It also covers various processing and preservation techniques to maximize their utility as ingredients or additives in food products.

By integrating neglected and underutilized tubers into the current agricultural portfolio, alongside environmentally sustainable farming practices, the book provides valuable insights for food scientists and agricultural professionals working to ensure a secure, nutritious food supply while addressing the challenges of environmental change.
