Bioactive Food Components Activity in Mechanistic Approach presents the role of functional foods and bioactive compounds in inflammation. This book focuses on bioactive compounds, including phenolics, prebiotics, carotenoids, tocopherols, bioactive peptides, probiotics, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, and describes their actions in several diseases, mainly obesity and co-morbidities, inflammatory bowel disease, cognitive decline and cancer, and aging. Intended for food, nutrition, and nutraceutical researchers, as well as those studying related fields, the book offers a mechanistic approach that is currently lacking in the market.

Cinthia Bau Betim Cazarin is a member of the faculty at UNICAMP. She has a degree in Nutrition, a Master's degree in Food and Nutrition, and a PhD in Food and Nutrition. Her areas of research include nutrition, functional foods, antioxidants, inflammation, food consumption. Juliano Lemos Bicas is a member of the faculty at UNICAMP. He holds a degree in Food Engineering and a PhD in Food Science His research areas include biocatalysis and microbial biotransformation, biotechnological production of ingredients for the food industry and bioprocess optimization. Glaucia Maria Pastore completed her Doctorate in Food Science from the State University of Campinas in 1992. She is currently Full Professor at the School of Food Engineering at the State University of Campinas (FEA / UNICAMP). Her research areas include functional foods, functional potential of cerrado fruits, obtaining aromas through the action of lipases and microorganisms, application of biotechnology in obtaining new food ingredients, microbial production of biosurfactants, aroma esters, biotransformation of terpenes and study of prebiotics in tropical fruits.
