Application of microbial enzymes in the functional food industry is gaining popularity due to their advancement in production-specific nutraceuticals using novel microbial enzymes with unique properties. Microbial enzymes have been applied on different food substrates to produce nutraceuticals with a wide range of health benefits as well as reduction of antinutritional factors. These enzymes are also applied for recovery of nutraceuticals from agri-food processing by-products. Due to the increasing demand for enzymes in the functional food industry, they are produced using native microorganisms as well as genetically modified candidates with improved properties. Enzymes produced using Bacillus species, lactic acid bacteria, and fungi have been characterized and applied for production of a wide range of nutraceuticals. This book covers a broad range of topics related to microbial enzymes, their sources, and application in the production of functional foods. The contribution of experts from the sci- entific community in specific areas of microbial enzymes from different parts of the globe is compiled in this book. The book has four sections including (1) introductory and perspective chapter, (2) sources of microbial enzymes for nutraceutical production, (3) specific microbial enzymes and their application in functional foods production, and (4) technologies for improved enzyme systems for nutraceutical production. The biocatalysts that have been applied for the pro- duction of value-added nutraceuticals mainly include proteases, and specific carbohydrate active enzymes (pullulanases, β-galactosidases, β-glucosidase, xylanase, etc.) are discussed. There are specific chapters on different microbial enzymes for the production of value-added molecules. The value-added molecules produced and modified using microbial enzymes include bioactive peptides, galactooligosaccharides, resistant starch, fructooligosaccharides, and free polyphenols. There are separate chapters on the application of microbial enzymes on the reduction/transfor- mation of antinutritional factors and lactose. The bioactive compounds produced on enzymatic treatment are responsible for specific health benefits including antioxidant, anticancer, antihy- pertensive, cardioprotective, and prebiotic activities that are discussed in different chapters. The strategic approach of applying enzyme technologies for the production of high-value nutraceu- ticals from agri-food processing waste is also described. The scientific information on mining genes from metagenomes and genetic modification of microbial enzymes for improving their cat- alytic capacity providing economical alternatives to chemical industrial processes for functional food production is provided in this book. Due to increasing global demand for functional foods with specific health benefits, microbial enzymes are gaining popularity. This book on microbial enzymes provides comprehensive information on current enzyme technologies related to the pro- duction of functional foods. We sincerely appreciate the contribution of scientific experts from different countries for shar- ing their knowledge on microbial enzyme technologies for the functional food industry and health sector during the pandemic period. We strongly believe that this book provides enriched scientific information that will be useful for researchers, students, academicians, and industry experts in food biotechnology and applied microbiology. We are grateful to reviewers for their sincere efforts and acknowledge them for their contribution in the critical review of the chapters. We sincerely acknowl- edge Prof. Ashok Pandey, Chief Mentor, BRSI, and Managing Editor of the series and the BRSI for providing us the opportunity to prepare this book and guiding us during the editing and publica- tion process for bringing this book in the final form.
