Among them S. cerevisiae, S. boulardii, and S. cerevisiae var. boulardii are the leading yeasts that find relatively major functional usages as natural fermenters in various food applications. As humanity as a whole is on the search for an easy cure into healthy living among their busy schedule, healthy gut, balanced diet, probiotics, and functional/fortified foods have gained immense importance. Yeast and Saccharomyces could play a substantial role in ensuring that such diet balances are maintained by utilizing their natural abilities to ferment food items according to their needs. In this context, this book chapter attempts to survey an overhaul of Saccharomyces in the current food market, food industry, and food technology and their role in food processing industries.

Traditional healers and patients suffering from various cancers in the study area were interviewed with the help of local translators to congregate the information for the use of medicinal plants against several prevalent cancers in this part of India. In the present review, we reported 22 plant species which were commonly used for the treatment of various cancers and ulcer. The most common used plant for the treatment of various cancers is Mikania micrantha followed by Ageratum conizoids. Leaves are the most common part used. The present review outlined the traditional information along with the major phytochemical compounds obtained from the listed plants which may be responsible for their traditional values in the selected study area. We hypothesized that the information could improve the traditional anti-cancer recipes and might contribute to a better national or international health system in future Fri, 01 Sep 2017 00:00:00 GMT http://pucir.inflibnet.ac.in:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/386 2017-09-01T00:00:00Z
