      Commonly used and associated with gut health and nutrition, the rapidly growing field of 'biotics' a collective term for probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, parapostbiotcs and more, is constantly being challenged for its validity of health applications and its adaptation into the food industry for therapeutic benefits in functional products. Paraprobiotics, Postbiotics and Psychobiotics in Foods: From Concept to Validated Application is a gateway for readers to focus on the broad insights of the biotic arena to establish foundational understanding. Divided into three sections, one for each of the major topics, Paraprobiotics, Postbiotics and Psychobiotics in Foods: From Concept to Validated Application treats each individually but consistently, and gives readers an introduction to emerging concepts and how ‘biotics’ are being used in the development of health promoting and therapeutic functional food products. Each section begins with an introductory chapter that defines mechanisms of action, sources and health benefits, and is followed by the associated potential application of these components in food products. Sections conclude with detailed information on the regulatory, technical and quality control aspects associated with such food products. This book gives readers a better understanding and acceptance of ‘biotics’ used for functional foods.

      Design and applications of cell-free systems –Part A represents an important component in the field of biochemistry, duly acknowledging the pioneering effort made by Nobel laureate Eduard Buchner for discovery of fermentation in yeast cell extracts (YCE). CFS requires a core molecular machinery including RNA polymerase, translational apparatus (ribosomes, tRNA synthases, and translation factors), energy-generating molecules, and their cofactors, substrates, and DNA or plasmid templates for obtaining desired products. CFS is a simple, rapid, and sensitive platform, which is devoid of membrane-bound barriers, yet contains all the mandatory substrates, biomolecules, and machineries required for the synthesis of the desired proteins. It has the potential to overcome loopholes in the current in vivo production systems and it is promising tool in both basic and applied scientific research. It facilitates a simplified organization of desired experiments with a variety of reaction conditions, making CFS a powerful tool in biological and translational science research.This volume offers wide range of topics on different aspects of cell free systems design and their applications. It covers introduction to applications of cell-free systems, protocol for cell free design, transcription and translation, computational biology, artificial intelligence, automation and robotics for cell free systems, cell free for biosensor, low cost diagnostics, cell free based high throughput screening, biodesign and incorporation of non-natural amino acids into proteins. This volume helps students, researchers, scientists, clinicians, stakeholders, policymakers, and practitioners to understand cell-free systems and their applications in many areas.
