    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Harvesting the Sea: Unveiling Marine Bioresources for Functional Foods and Human Health Enhancement explores the remarkable potential hidden within the depths of our oceans. Encompassing over two-thirds of the Earth's surface, the marine ecosystem possesses an astonishing array of biodiversity and contains a trove of bioactive compounds that can revolutionize human health and wellbeing. In a world where functional foods are gaining prominence for their ability to provide targeted health benefits, this book delves into the untapped potential of marine bioresources and reveals the captivating journey of their discovery, sustainable utilization, and prospects. Written by a global team of experts, this book underscores the pressing need for innovative solutions in nutrition and healthcare. Modern lifestyles, stress, and the rise of chronic diseases demand a shift toward functional foods that promote well-being and disease prevention. Organized by marine bioresources, nutritional and bioactive compounds, functional food types, and therapeutic properties, chapters highlight the potential of marine-derived bioactive compounds and offer insights into their integration into functional foods. Through a meticulously researched exploration, readers are invited to understand how these compounds can contribute to a more vibrant and fulfilling life. With its interdisciplinary approach, Harvesting the Sea: Unveiling Marine Bioresources for Functional Foods and Human Health Enhancement is a valuable resource for nutritionists, food scientists, biotechnologists, researchers, and anyone intrigued by the profound relationship between our oceans and human health. As a bridge between conventional foods and dietary supplements, this book illuminates the path toward a healthier, more functional future through the wonders of marine bioresources.
