Advances in Plant Sprouts
The demand for plant foods in all global markets has been increasing along with awareness of greenhouse gases generated from animal farming, expanded sentiments against animal slaughtering and common perception of the health benefits of plant food products. Accordingly, more attention has been placed on green processing of plant foods for the optimization of their nutritional and health benefits. Sprouted vegetable products have been studied and reported in many scientific investigations to qualitatively improve the phytochemistry, enhance the nutritional profile and improve the biological functionality potentials of such vegetables beyond their initial natural states. Vegetable sprouts have...
Apples
Due to polymorphism, apples have extraordinary diversity. Depending on variety, apple fruits can differ in color, shade or size; apples even can be oval or pear-shaped. There are more than 10,000 varieties of apple, which vary in taste, shape, juiciness, texture, color, firmness and other qualities. For these reasons, apples have been diversely studied, and many improvements have been made such as the introduction of high density cropping; rootstock breeding; or varietal development. Therefore it is important to understand and document the production methods adopted and implemented in recent times for harvesting maximum benefits of the crop. Apples: Preharvest and Postharvest Technology documents production practices along with detailed illustration on varieties, rootstocks, important cultural practices and post-harvest management. This book will serve as a complete guide for apple production from farm to fork and will help students, scholars, researchers and scientists working in this domain. The book will also help growers all over the world to understand best practices for apple production, to harvest maximum yields, and in turn, to increase their returns.
Novel Packaging Systems for Fruits and Vegetables
This new volume provides a comprehensive overview of the new and diverse technologies in food packaging of fruits and vegetables, providing an emphasis on new commercially available packaging technologies for fresh produce. The book first looks at important biopolymeric films for fresh produce packaging along with a historical overview, followed by coverage of the mechanical, physical, and permeability properties and recent developments in investigative techniques of biopolymers as well as their applications in modified atmosphere packaging used in fresh produce packaging. The volume then discusses the detailed application of natural/organic active agents, including oxygen scavengers, ethyle...
Non-Thermal Food Processing Technologies
Various processes are required to preserve and extend the shelf-life of food, many of which cause detrimental effects on the color and appearance of food. Alternative methods for the thermal processing of food are gaining importance day by day due to increased consumer demand for minimally processed fresh-like food products with high sensory, appearance, and nutritional qualities. This new book provides an informative overview of non-thermal food processing technologies that can preserve food color and appearance. The book offers comprehensive coverage of the application of emerging technologies on the color profile of different food products, such as fruits, vegetables, beverages, dairy pro...
Until My Freedom Has Come
The pieces in this volume voice the rage and helplessness sweeping through the Kashmir Valley while offering rare insights into the lives of those caught in the crossfire. This book is a timely collection of the most exciting writing that has recently emerged from within Kashmir, and about it. Sanjay Kak is a documentary filmmaker whose work includes Jashn-e-Azadi (How We Celebrate Freedom, 2007), a feature-length film about Kashmir. He is based in New Delhi, India.
SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY
Synthetic biology stands as one of the most revolutionary fields in modern science, enabling the creation of artificial living organisms in laboratories. This book delves into the ethical and practical implications of this emerging technology. Covering the history of its development to the latest advancements, it encompasses all fundamental areas, including personalized medicine, sustainable agriculture, and bioenergy production. Synthetic biology not only offers innovative solutions to global issues like climate change and food security but also raises crucial questions about the nature of life and the limits of human intervention. With a detailed focus on key technologies, ethical challenges, and necessary biosafety measures, this work provides a comprehensive and balanced view of a constantly evolving field. Readers will discover how this discipline can transform entire industries and how society can responsibly manage its enormous potentials and inherent risks.
