Chocolate in Health and Nutrition represents the first comprehensive compilation of the newest data on the actions of the flavonoids and microorganisms associated with the beneficial effects of chocolate. This unique text provides practical, data-driven resources based upon the totality of the evidence to help the reader understand the basics, treatments and preventive strategies that are involved in the understanding of the role chocolate may play in healthy individuals as well as those with cardiovascular disease, diabetes or neurocognitive declines. Of equal importance, critical issues that involve patient concerns, such as dental caries and food preferences in children, potential effects...
O Manual de métodos de análise microbiológica de alimentos e água é um manual de laboratório ilustrado contendo os métodos recomendados por órgãos internacionais (APHA, FDA, USDA, AOAC, ISO) aceitos pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA). Cada capítulo traz uma revisão profunda e atualizada sobre o(s) microrganismo(s) tratado(s), incluindo posição taxonômica, mudanças na nomenclatura, características morfológicas e bioquímicas e epidemiologia. Oferece também comparações esquemáticas entre os métodos disponíveis, destacando suas diferenças e similaridades. A apresentação didática do passo a passo dos métodos em figuras esquemáticas permite uma rápida apreensão dos procedimentos, facilitando sua execução no dia a dia dos laboratórios.
A preocupação quanto à Segurança Alimentar (Food Security) surgiu decorrente das sequelas da Segunda Guerra Mundial, causando flagelos humanos e impactos devastadores no meio ambiente. Os países envolvidos nesse conflito de escala global ficaram sem condições de produzir alimentos para abastecer as populações, o que gerou grande desordem social e econômica. Esse momento avassalador na história humana trouxe a conscientização universal que a garantia na oferta de alimentos e água potável para a população mundial ajudaria na busca da paz e harmonia entre as nações de diferentes etnias, culturas e de poder econômico. Os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), adotad...
Yeast biomass is an excellent source of proteins, nucleic acids, and vitamins. It has been produced and consumed in baked goods and other foods for thousands of years and offers significant advantages when compared to other potential new microbial protein sources. Use of Yeast Biomass in Food Production provides up-to-date information regarding the chemical composition and biochemistry of yeasts, discusses the biotechnological basis of yeast production and possibilities for influencing yeast biomass composition using new techniques in molecular biology. The book examines techniques for producing yeast protein concentrates (and isolates) while still retaining their functional properties and nutritive values, as well as the various uses for these materials and their derivatives in different branches of the food industry. Finally, the book explores possibilities for the production and industrial use of other yeast components, such as nucleic acids, nucleotides, cell wall polysaccharides, autolysates, and extracts. Food microbiologists and technologists, as well as biotechnologists, will discover that this book is an invaluable reference resource.
This volume is an international compilation for biotechnologists of data on the location and use of filamentous fungi. The volume provides details of the location and scope of major culture collections around the world holding fungi; information on how to access their data, administration and safety, identification, culture and media recipes, preservation, patents, specialist services and international organization.
This book is an outcome of the MycoGlobe conference in Accra. Most of the chapters are based on invited oral presentations made at the conference. The chapters in this book touch on issues including health, trade, ecology, epidemiology, occurrence, detection, management, awareness and policy. This book serves as a source of information on the occurrence and impact of mycotoxins on everything from trade and health to agricultural production in addition to suggesting opportunities for their management in Africa and elsewhere by researchers, policy makers and development investors.
