Nutraceuticals composition

The role of cereals in hnman and animal nntrition is covered in the last two chapters. Chapter 17 covers the important role of cereals in human nutrition and the new emerging area of how nntraceuticals, associated to different types of cereal grains, positively affect hnman health. This section contains many tables detailing the nutritional requirements of humans throughout their life cycle, as well as the chemical and nutraceutical composition of different types of cereal-based products. The last chapter deals with the importance of cereals and their by-products in animal nutrition. This chapter also includes tables detailing the composition of the different types of cereals, by-products, and processes commonly used to enhance the nutritional value of cereals for poultry, swine, horses, and ruminants, which provide most animal food products for human consumption. 

Amino acid analysis has long been of importance for nutritional purposes. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in assessing the exact amino acid composition of new protein sources, infant formulas, nutraceutical-type products, or supplements targeted at people with unusual metabolic needs. There is also a regulatory necessity to have rapid methods available for amino acid determination to verify product consistency with that declared on the label [196].

On the subject of sample preparation, analytical SFC can save the analyst considerable time, as illustrated by the SFC profile of the composition in a nutraceutical capsule containing sawtooth palmetto berry extract (Fig. 12). In this case, the extract was dissolved and diluted with a minimal amount of hexane and directly injected into the chromatograph. By density programming the CO2 mobile phase, a high-resolution chromatogram can be facilitated. The complexity of the sawtooth palmetto berry extract is apparent and...
