Underutilized Tuber Crops of the Himalayan Region: Nutraceutical Potential, Processing, and Applications explores highly significant edible tubers that have bioactive and pharmacological attributes apart from preservation aspects. The book will be a compilation of thirty chapters that include information about historical applications, phytochemistry, pharmacology, distribution, processing, toxicity, conservation, and future prospects of certain tubers, as well as any market significance they may have. The book also covers various processing and preservation techniques, as well as application in food as ingredients or additives, as a way to maximize the benefits of these commodities for our society. By introducing neglected and underutilized tubers into our existing tubers portfolio, alongside other measures of environmentally friendly farming, the book also contributes to the knowledge that food scientists and agriculturalists need in their efforts to secure a sufficient supply of highly nutritional food while mitigating the consequences of environmental change.
