Olfaction and Taste XI
In this compendium of current studies on olfaction and taste - the most comprehensive yet to appear in this series - the chemical senses are elucidated from points of view ranging from anatomy, electrophysiology, molecular biology (especially chemoreceptor gene cloning), biochemistry, and psychophysics to the latest clinical and technological applications of chemosensory research. Specific topics include the structure and function of the tastebud and olfactory epithelium; the genetics and mechanisms of olfactory and taste transduction; the chemistry and function of flavor compounds; the psychophysics of taste and olfaction in daily human life; the brain mechanisms of coding, learning, and me...
From Label to Table
"How did the Nutrition Facts label come to appear on millions of everyday American household products? As Xaq Frohlich unearths, this legal, scientific, and seemingly innocuous strip of information is in fact a prism through which to view the high-stakes political battles and development of scientific ideas that shaped the realms of American health, nutrition, and public communication. From Label to Table tells the biography of the food label. By tracing policy debates at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Frohlich describes the emergence of our present information age in food and diet markets and how powerful government offices inform the public about what they consume. From the early years of FDA food standards, with concerns about consumer protection, up to present-day efforts to modernize the Nutrition Facts panel, Frohlich explores the evolving popular ideas about food, diet, and responsibility for health that inform what goes on the label and who gets to decide that"--

Fast Food Nation
An exploration of the fast food industry in the United States, from its roots to its long-term consequences.
Labeling Genetically Modified Food
Food products with genetically modified (GM) ingredients are common, yet many consumers are unaware of this. When polled, consumers say that they want to know whether their food contains GM ingredients, just as many want to know whether their food is natural or organic. Informing consumers is a major motivation for labeling. But labeling need not be mandatory. Consumers who want GM-free products will pay a premium to support voluntary labeling. Why do consumers want to know about GM ingredients? GM foods are tested to ensure safety and have been on the market for more than a decade. Still, many consumers, including some with food allergies, want to be cautious. Also, GM crops may affect neig...
Frying Technology
Covering all the recently adapted developments, challenges, and other healthy approaches in the process of frying, this book provides the details of various frying technologies and discusses its operations and machinery in depth. Emphasis is placed on healthy prospects, nutritional values, and the emerging threats (e.g., acrylamide, acrolein, oxidation, rancidity and other hydroperoxides) of the frying process and effective ways to minimize them. Key Features Provides a complete guide to production and consumption of fried foods along with discussions on packaging and labeling with global perspectives Discusses textural, sensory and nutritional profiles of fried, baked, and puffed foods Explains the impact of frying on macromolecular constituents, fats/oils, starches, and proteins A cohesive exploration of food-frying technology, this book appeals to students, academicians, researchers and professionals in the fields of nutrition and food sciences.
