Nutrigenomics and Proteomics in Health and Disease: Food Factors and Gene Interactions covers the current science based upon nutrigenomics and proteomics in food and health. It includes many important nutraceuticals (food factors) and their impact on gene interaction and health.

Following an overview and introduction, several chapters are devoted to genomics/proteomics and specific disease and health conditions. The heart of the book focuses on food factors-gene interaction with multiple chapters on lipids; proteins, amino acids and peptides; carbohydrates; carotenoids; phytochemicals; prebiotics and probiotics; and minerals.

The book concludes with a section an advanced analytical techniques.
