Germination: Types, Process and Effects is a book that brings together the contribution of new and relevant information from many experts in the fields of food and biological sciences, nutrition, and food engineering, to provide the reader with the latest information of fundamental and applied research in the role of edible seeds and discuss the benefits of consuming them.

In this book, you will find relevant information regarding origin and taxonomy of seeds, global markets, physicochemical composition and the effect of edible seeds germination on chronic degenerative diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammation and arthritis. This book will be of great interest to food scientist, biologists, nutritionists, and food engineers who are particularly interested in the process, changes and contribution of seed germination to food security.
