Food Analysis by HPLC, Second Edition presents an exhaustive compilation of analytical methods that belong in the toolbox of every practicing food chemist. Topics covered include biosensors, BMO’s, nanoscale analysis systems, food authenticity, radionuclides concentration, meat factors and meat quality, particle size analysis, and scanning colorimity. It also analyzes peptides, carbohydrates, vitamins, and food additives and contains chapters on alcohols, phenolic compounds, pigments, and residues of growth promoters. Attuned to contemporary food industry concerns, this bestselling classic also features topical coverage of the quantification of genetically modified organisms in food.
Through four editions, Lactic Acid Bacteria: Microbiological and Functional Aspects, has provided readers with information on the how’s and why’s lactic acid-producing fermentation improves the storability, palatability, and nutritive value of perishable foods. Thoroughly updated and fully revised, with 12 new chapters, the Fifth Edition covers regulatory aspects globally, new findings on health effects, properties and stability of LAB as well as production of target specific LAB. The new edition also addresses the technological use of LAB in various fermentations of food, feed and beverage, and their safety considerations. It features the detailed description of the main genera of LAB a...
Comprehensive and accessible, Food Plant Sanitation presents fundamental principles and applications that are essential for food production safety. It provides basic, practical information on the daily operations in a food processing plant and reviews some of the industry's most recent developments. The book is unique from others on the topic in th
Microorganisms are widely used in various beneficial applications, including food, pest control, bioremediation, biodegradation, biofuel processes, and plant symbiosis and growth stimulation. This book provides an overview of the available methodology for safety assessments of microorganisms, including determination of their infectivity and whether they produce toxic or sensitizing substances. Also covered are the regulatory systems in risk assessment and management of microbial products, quarantine legislations, international treaties, the importance of public risk perception and risk reducti
This work presents a comprehensive overview of existing knowledge regarding the influence of freezing, frozen storage and thawing of specific food-stuffs. It delineates how freezing processes alter the colour, appearance, palatability, nutritional value, intrinsic chemical reactions, microbiological safety and consumer acceptance of foods. The fundamental concepts upon which food-freezing technologies are based, are reviewed.
"Focuses on the physical-chemical origins and structures formed by the association of aqueous, dispersed polysaccharides with related and unrelated chemical species. Covers the origin of polysaccharide supramolecular assemblies; polysaccharide molecular structures; gel formation and ultrastructure in food polysaccharides; structures and phase transitions of starch polymers; microcrystalline cellulose technology; cyclodextrins; starch-lipid interactions; interactions in whey protein/polysaccharide mixtures; and more."
The first authoritative source on the subject, this reference discusses the various levels of structure that influence the macroscopic physical properties of fat crystal networks. Fat Crystal Networks summarizes 50 years of structural research in the field, as well as a wealth of information on fat crystal networks pertinent to real-world challenge
Revised and updated to reflect the latest research and advances available, Food Biotechnology, Second Edition demonstrates the effect that biotechnology has on food production and processing. It is an authoritative and exhaustive compilation that discusses the bioconversion of raw food materials to processed products, the improvement of food
A discussion of all aspects of safe food handling, encompassing the production of all varieties of foods by the processing and foodservice industries, where risk factors are likely to occur, and what can be done to prepare food safely. It examines categories of foods, places where food is served, and groups of food consumers. The text also lists sources of food safety information available on the Internet.
