Phytochemicals in Goji Berries: Applications in Functional Foods (Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals)
by Xingqian Ye and Yueming JiangGoji berries (Lycium barbarum), which are widely distributed in Northwestern China, Southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean areas, have traditionally been employed in Chinese medicine from ancient times. Goji berries, also known as wolfberry, have become increasingly popular in the Western world because of their nutritional properties, often advertised as a superfood in Europe and North America. With the development of analysis methods, various chemical constituents have been identified, including carbohydrates, carotenoids, flavonoids, betaine, cerebroside, -sitosterol, amino acids, trace elements, vitamins and other constituents. Polysaccharides have been identified as one of the major active ingredients responsible for biological activities. Phytochemicals in Goji Berries: Applications in Functional Foods, a volume in the Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals Series, provides information about the chemical, biochemical, botanic properties, bioactive components and health benefits of Goji berries. It also discusses postharvest storage technology, processing technology, and the development and utilization of Goji berry by-products in medicinal foods and functional foods, as well as addressing food safety issues.

Speriamo che possiate trovarlo interessante e possa essere una preziosa giuda per un semplice programma disintossicante.

Il primo libro, "Una Guida ai Succhi, Cibo Crudo e Supercibi" è stato il risultato della nostra decisione di cambiare verso uno stile di vita vegetariano ed il nostro desiderio di condividere ciò che avevamo imparato e sperimentato. Sentivamo che il passo successivo nel nostro viaggio sarebbe stato lo sviluppo di un programma disintossicante che avesse funzionato su di noi. Questo libro è il risultato delle nostre ricerche e delle nostre stesse esperienze facendo uso dei metodi proposti in questo libro. La cosa abbastanza stupefacente, benché pensavamo che sarebbe stato difficile, è che abbiamo scoperto che diventare e rimanere vegetariani è stato molto più facile di quanto ci fossimo mai aspettati. Abbiamo avuto la stessa impressione con questo piano disintossicazione di tre giorni - è stato più facile di quanto ci aspettassimo e ne abbiamo raccolto diversi benefici. E così potrete fare voi.

Pickle & Ferment: Preserve Your Produce & Brew Delicious Probiotic Drinks
by Susan Crowther Julie Fallone60 classic and unique recipes for probiotic-rich ferments such as sauerkraut, pickled veggies, salsas, kimchi, sourdough, jun tea, and more! Fermenting, in the simplest definition, is changing food into a healthier version of itself—a version that basically stays fresh, forever. Sounds kind of magical, doesn&’t it? It kind of is. Fermenting is what happens when you mix two things together: food and salt. As soon as food and salt are combined, they wake up microbes—bacteria and yeast that are living in and on the food. This book explores a specific type of fermentation: raw pickling or live-fermentation. Live-fermented foods are the healthiest to eat and easiest to make. Live-fermentation is simpler than canning and the food lasts longer than freezing. This technique saves time and energy, as it cuts down on heating and cooking. Live-fermented foods do not require refrigeration. Plus, they can stay fresh indefinitely. In addition to saving energy costs, fermenting increases a food&’s health benefits. Live-fermented foods are healthier than their original raw products. Vital nutrients and vitamins—often destroyed with heating—are not only kept alive, but improved. And other nutrients are actually created during fermentation. Susan Crowther and Julie Fallone offer step-by-step instructions for pickling and fermenting all kinds of produce from carrots to garlic to sweet potatoes, plus offers recipes for Live-Fermented Hot Sauce, Fermented Hot Honey, and more unique and healthy goodies. Readers will also find recipes for kombucha, jun tea, and other probiotic drinks. Finally, there's an abundance of recipes for incorporating your probiotic-rich ferments into other recipes, such as Healthier Hummus, Jun Sourdough Bread, Cultured Muffins, and even . . . wait for it . . . Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake!
