This book presents a significant and up-to-date review of various integrated approaches to food engineering. Distinguished food engineers and food scientists from key institutions worldwide have contributed chapters that provide a deep analysis of their particular subjects. Emerging technologies and biotechnology are introduced, and the book discusses predictive microbiology, packing materials for foods, and biodegradable films. This book is mainly directed to academics, and to undergraduate and postgraduate students in food engineering and food science and technology, who will find a selection of topics.
Water Stress Management contains the invited lectures and selected oral and poster presentations of the 11th International Symposium on the Properties of Water (ISOPOW), which was held in Queretaro, Mexico 5-9 September 2010. The text provides a holistic description and discussion of state-of-the-art topics on the role of water in Biological, Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Food systems within a frame of an integrated approach and future trends on the subject. Different points-of-view about the state of water and phase transitions in a variety of substrates are presented. ISOPOW is a non-profit scientific organization whose activities aim at progressing the understanding of the properties of wa...
Emphasizing the essential principles underlying the preparation of cereal-based products and demonstrating the roles of ingredients, Cereal Grains: Laboratory Reference and Procedures Manual is a practical laboratory manual complementing the author's text, Cereal Grains: Properties, Processing, and Nutritional Attributes. Organized so that readers
The food world has a number of options available to make the food industry more diverse, competitive, and efficient. Innovations in Food Processing investigates some of these options, alternative technologies, and strategies for properly addressing new challenges facing the food industry. It also provides specific examples on how these alternatives can be utilized in specific food products. This book presents a comprehensive review of new technologies to preserve foods, especially those based on nonthermal techniques. It covers a wide range of methods, including high pressure, pulsed electric fields, and hurdle technologies. Other chapters include information about the trends in emerging technologies over the past 40 years and predictive models that describe microbial growth. Expert contributors present thorough research results and critical reviews of each covered technology. The innovative approaches presented in Innovations in Food Processing will result in sound alternatives for addressing the ever-increasing demand for quality foods at a reasonable cost.
Consumer expectations are systematically growing, with demands for foods with a number of attributes, which are sometimes difficult for manufacturers to meet. The engineering processes that are needed to obtain top-quality foods are a major challenge due to the diversity of raw materials, intermediates, and final products. As in any other enterpris
Determining accurate shelf life data for foods is essential for assuring food quality and protecting consumers from the effects of degradation. With a proper balance of theory and practical examples, Shelf Life Assessment of Food presents the essential criteria and current methodologies for obtaining accurate and reliable shelf life dating. Definin
This volume in the Food Preservation Technology Series presents the latest developments in the application of two solid-liquid operations, Osmotic Dehydration (OD) and Vacuum Impregnation (VI), to the food industry. An international group of experts report on the improvement of osmotic processes at atmospheric pressure for fruits and vegetables, cu
Health-Promoting Food Ingredients during Processing presents a comprehensive science-based approach covering the latest naturally occurring bioactive compounds in seeds, dietary fiber, proteins, fermented bio-compounds, agro-industrial waste by-products, and lactic acid bacteria. A volume in the Food Biotechnology and Engineering Series, the book discusses their identification, characterization, biological activities in terms of their bioavailability, bioaccessibility, and their beneficial effects as inflammatory mediators, probiotics, antioxidants, and hypoglycemic agents, as well as in gastrointestinal digestion and colonic fermentation. Written by an international expert team of food scie...
