Abstract
Celiac disease is a genetically determined autoimmune disorder induced by an environmental agent, gluten. The disease involves the development of a T-cell mediated inflammatory reaction to ingested gluten in the small intestine that results in villous atrophy. The manifestations of the disease are varied. Patients may be critically ill due to a severe malabsorption syndrome or asymptomatic. The reason for the varied phenotypic expression of the disease is unclear. The mainstay of therapy is a gluten-free diet that may be a testing endeavor in this culture.

Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
