Sustainable Functional Foods and Emerging Plant-Based Ingredients: Science, Technology, and Applications offers a timely, comprehensive resource addressing the global shift toward plant-based, functional, and clean-label foods. As consumer demand for sustainable, health-promoting products increases, there is a pressing need to bridge the gap between ingredient science, bioactive functionality, processing innovations, and market applications. This book consolidates multidisciplinary research on underutilized crops, biofortification, natural pigments, and plant bioactives, emphasizing sustainable processing methods and safety considerations. It highlights how emerging plant resources and advanced technologies can meet current challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, post-harvest losses, and climate resilience, supporting the development of innovative, eco-friendly food solutions. The content is organized into five parts: plant-based proteins and dietary transitions; functional ingredients and bioactives; sustainable crops like millets and quinoa; innovative processing techniques; and food safety, AMR, and predictive systems. Topics include regulatory standards, novel processing methods, microbiome interactions, and future pathways for sustainable food development. Through scientific insights and practical applications, this volume supports researchers, educators, and industry professionals in navigating the evolving landscape of plant-based food innovation. This book is an essential reference for academic researchers, faculty, postgraduate students, food technologists, and R&D professionals involved in sustainable, functional, and plant-based food development.

She is Double Gold medalist (M.Sc & M.Phil) and received several prestigious awards as Post Graduate studies Himachal Pradesh (2004); Himalayan Research Scholar Association (2007); Wiley Research Academy (2017) Young Scientist Award, IITT 2020; Best Speaker Award (2020, 2021) and Young Researcher Award (2021). Apart from her teaching assignments, she has been involved in various research and extension activities. She has guided more than 30 Dissertations and 3 students have completed Ph.D. under her guidance. She is a member of editorial board and reviewer in Journals of national and international repute. She has done two Industrial consultancies and currently one DST sanctioned project is running. She has published more than 51 research publications, 1 patent, 3 Copyright, 230 book chapters, 7 books, 01 compendium and presented more than 45 papers. She has also organized various Training programme, Faculty Development programmes, National conferences and national seminars. Prof. (Dr.) V. K. Modi is a senior food scientist and academic leader with more than three decades of experience in food science research, product development, and institutional leadership. He earned his Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Food Science and Technology from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. Prior to joining Amity University, he served at CSIR–Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Mysore, for nearly 30 years, retiring as Chief Scientist (Scientist G) and Senior Professor. He has also held postdoctoral research positions at the University of Nottingham, University of Reading, and Queen’s University Belfast. His expertise includes food processing, novel product development, protein hydrolysates, meat science, quality control, and industrial pilot-scale studies. Dr. Vatsala Sharma is a researcher in food science and nutrition with academic training and research experience in functional foods, clinical and public health nutrition, and sustainable food systems. She holds a doctoral degree in Foods and Nutrition, with research focused on bioactive compounds, functional ingredients, and the utilization of underexplored plant-based resources for health-oriented food applications. Her work integrates nutritional science with food processing and product development, emphasizing clean-label formulations, plant-based innovations, and evidence-based dietary strategies. Dr. Sharma has contributed to peer-reviewed scientific publications and has actively participated in interdisciplinary research projects related to plant-based functional foods and nutraceutical development.
