It focuses on the most significant product categories, reviewing ingredient sources, classification, chemical and physical properties, the wide range of therapeutic effects and possible mechanisms of action, among other topics. It also explores industry and consumer roles and examines antioxidants, dietary fiber, prebiotics and probiotics, lipids and soy. The Appendix contains laboratory exercises.
