Dairy Foods: Processing, Quality, and Analytical Techniques provides comprehensive knowledge on the different factors involved in the development and safety precautions behind dairy foods, including special references to both theoretical and practical aspects. The book presents relevant information about the quality of dairy foods, including raw milk quality, predictive microbiology and risk analysis, food defense and food fraud. In addition, it looks into environmental aspects and consumer perception and goes on to cover methods and practices to process dairy products and analytical techniques behind dairy product development. Techniques explored include time domain magnetic resonance, thermal analysis and chemometric methods. This will be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the dairy industry, as well as students in dairy science courses. - Offers a comprehensive accounting on the latest analytical methods used in the dairy industry - Focuses on the processing of dairy foods, including emerging and novel dairy products with low sodium and sugar contents - Sourced from a team of editors with relevant expertise in dairy food processing
The seafood processing industry produces a large amount of by-products that usually consist of bioactive materials such as proteins, enzymes, fatty acids, and biopolymers. These by-products are often underutilized or wasted, even though they have been shown to have biotechnological, nutritional, pharmaceutical, and biomedical applications. For example, by-products derived from crustaceans and algae have been successfully applied in place of collagen and gelatin in food, cosmetics, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Divided into four parts and consisting of twenty-seven chapters, this book discusses seafood by-product development, isolation, and characterization, and demonstrates the importance of seafood by-products for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biomedical industries.
In recent years, the use of renewable raw materials and natural biopolymers has increased significantly to overcome the issues associated with environmental pollution and dwindling fossil fuel resources. Lipids and proteins are inexpensive, renewable raw materials, which are considered ideal feedstock for the development of a variety of functional materials. This book provides an international viewpoint on recent developments in the utilisation of lipids and proteins together, for the development of functional materials in food engineering, environmental and industry applications. This book presents the cutting-edge research in the utilization of lipids and proteins in food, cosmetics, therapeutics, food packaging, water remediation, biofuels, lubricants, biomaterials, and composite preparations. Researchers, scientists, engineers and students working on lipids and proteins derived materials will benefit from this book, which is highly application oriented. Focusing on the latest developments in the field, this will be the first book to describe lipids and proteins together, allowing it to act as a single reference for researchers working in this area.
Food proteins and bioactive peptides play a vital role in thegrowth and development of the body’s structural integrity andregulation, as well as having a variety of other functionalproperties. Land animal-derived food proteins such as collagen andgelatine carry risks of contamination (such as BSE). Marine-derivedproteins, which can provide equivalents to collagen and gelatinwithout the associated risks, are becoming more popular amongconsumers because of their numerous health beneficial effects. Mostmarine-derived bioactive peptides are currently underutilized.While fish and shellfish are perhaps the most obvious sources ofsuch proteins and peptides, there is also the potential for further...
This book explores current trends in seafood science and examines various related topics including isolation aspects and different methodologies involved in seafood production. It provides detailed explanations about marine species such as fish, seaweed, and crustaceans and discusses their health benefits as well as the health risk for consumption. These topics provide a platform to develop various aquaculture/biotechnology studies. The book is essential reading for the novice and expert in marine-related fields such as aquaculture, as well as those in biotechnology, chemical sciences, natural products, materials science, pharmaceutical science, and nutraceutical science.
Chemistry of Thermal and Non-Thermal Food Processing Technologies provides the latest information to the food science community about the chemistry of emerging food processing technologies, including the fundamentals, recent trends, chemistry aspects in terms of quality parameters, and microbial inactivation for each technology. Divided in 4 sections, the book focus on a range of emerging technologies, such as microwave processing of food, radio frequency processing, infrared processing, ohmic heating, drying technologies, ionizing radiation processing, among others. All chapters include the following common features: principle, scope and mechanisms; effect on macromolecules (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates); effect on bioactives (Vitamins, minerals, bioactive agents); chemistry of microbial inactivation; and degradation mechanisms. - Covers the chemistry aspect of novel food processing technologies - Includes chemical constituents associated with food quality and nutritional properties of food - Brings fundamental, recent trends, and chemistry aspects in terms of quality parameters and microbial inactivation
