"Edited by pioneers in the field, Marine Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods provides detailed information on a variety of commercially available and newly developing value-added products from marine sources. It discusses the discovery, development, and health benefits of omega-3 oils; chitin, chitosan, and partially hydrolyzed chitosan; glucosamine; marine proteins; marine algae and seaweed; and shark cartilage. The book also analyzes the use of marine microorganisms as a renewable resourceas well as marine sources of calcium. The final chapter describes the discovery and development of a novel immunoenhancing polysaccharide complex derived from the microalgae, Chlorella."--Publisher description.
