This book compiles global research on eight key functional grains—oats, rice, wheat, barley, buckwheat, sorghum, corn, and quinoa—integrating the author and his team’s extensive research. It covers their chemical composition, variety traits, nutritional properties, and functional food characteristics, highlighting innovation of grain development from the raw kernels to the final food products. Special focus is given to fermented cereal products for improving their sensory and nutrition properties, including microorganism selection, fermentation characteristics, and the evaluation of both nutrition and safety of the final products.
This book spans the fields of chemistry, biology, microbiology and other disciplines, including the latest scientific research achievements in these fields. It can be a reference book for scientific researchers and technicians in food, nutrition, biochemistry, and other fields. It can also be selected by under-graduate and post-graduate students for related subjects, and even a scientific reading material for the public.

Dr Zhongkai Zhou is a distinguished professor and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He was also the ex-Vice-Dean of the College of Food Engineering and Biotechnology, Tianjin University of Science and Technology, China. On completion of his PhD from Charles Sturt University (Australia) in 2003, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Hong Kong before taking up a position as a research fellow at Commonwealth Science and Industry Research Organization in Australia. In 2012, he returned to China where he continues his research on cereal chemistry and nutrition, particularly focusing on the fine structure of starches/proteins from various botanical resources, physical/chemical or enzymatic modification and digestion properties. His recent research is also involved in interaction of gut microbiota with cereal key components in terms of complex carbohydrates, proteins, polyphenols, etc. Prof Zhou has served as a board editor for several international journals and published 350 scientific papers and 10 books/chapters.
