    Makhana (Euryale ferox) as a Functional Food: Cultivation, Chemistry, Processing, and Commercialization is the first comprehensive book dedicated to exploring the scientific, technological, and nutritional dimensions of this traditional aquatic crop. As Makhana gains global recognition as a nutrient-dense, gluten-free, and low-calorie superfood, there is an urgent need for consolidated knowledge on its cultivation, processing, and commercialization. Currently, scattered information limits innovation, product development, and market expansion. This volume aims to fill that gap by providing a detailed, multidisciplinary resource for researchers, industry professionals, and entrepreneurs. The book covers a wide array of topics, including botanical classification, cultivation practices, genetic improvement, post-harvest handling, traditional and modern processing techniques, nutritional and phytochemical analysis, and value-added product development. It also discusses packaging, quality standards, safety, regulatory aspects, and market trends, offering a holistic understanding of Makhana from farm to consumer. Waste valorization and industry opportunities are also explored to promote sustainability and economic growth.Makhana (Euryale ferox) as a Functional Food serves as an essential reference for advancing scientific research, fostering innovation, and supporting sustainable utilization of this underexploited crop. It provides the knowledge and tools needed for developing health-promoting products and expanding Makhana’s global market presence, benefiting farmers, industry stakeholders, and consumers alike.
