The marine environment is rich in biological and chemical diversity and is the source of unique bioactive substances that can be used as nutraceuticals and functional food ingredients. This book discusses recent advances in marine nutraceuticals, providing a comprehensive account of marine-derived nutritionally and pharmacologically active agents and their potential health benefits, including antioxidant, anticancer, anticoagulant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, and antibacterial properties. The book discusses the sources, isolation and purification, chemistry, functional interactions, applications, and industrial perspectives of marine-derived nutraceuticals.
