With consumers quest for new functional foods, all eyes are concentrated for new sources of functional ingredients and nutraceuticals. Marine food, due to its phenomenal biodiversity is treasure house of many novel healthy food ingredients and biologically active compounds such as fish oils, fish proteins, bioactive peptides, seaweeds, macroalgae and microalgae. Despite having so much health benefits, marine functional ingredients have been underexploited for food purposes. Thus, this book aims at exploring the Science behind the potential of marine functional ingredients, scope, their...

One of the great concerns in view of the durability of reinforced concrete is the corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete. RC structures exposed to chloride and high temperature environments like sea, deicing salts, deserts and industrial zones suffer from accelerated corrosion of rebars. There is no doubt that the presence of chloride ions promote the disruption of the passive layer causing corrosion of reinforcement and the chloride attack becomes much more severe when coupled with high temperature. Therefore, to be able to forecast the service life of RC structures it is...
