Dairy Microbiology and Biochemistry
This book covers recent developments in types, classifications, and genetic traits of indigenous milk microorganisms and dairy starter cultures. It also discusses biochemical reactions taking place in different dairy products and microorganisms involved in such reactions. The text provides strategies for rapid detection of pathogenic and non-pathog
Understanding and optimising the nutraceutical properties of fruit and vegetables
Provides a comprehensive overview of the wealth of research on analysing, understanding and optimising the nutraceutical properties of fruit and vegetables, focussing primarily on phytochemicals/phytochemical compounds Reviews the current research on mechanisms of action and the potential role of key phytochemical compounds, such as antioxidants and flavonoids, in preventing the onset of chronic diseases Explores current advances in understanding and improving the nutraceutical properties of key horticultural crops, including apples, cranberries, broccoli and other brassicas
Food Processing Technologies
The processing of food generally implies the transformation of the perishable raw food to value-added products. It imparts benefits, such as the destruction of surface microflora, and inactivation of deleterious enzymes, such as peroxidase, leading to a greater shelf life of the food. It also enhances color and texture while maintaining quality of products and makes them edible. However, it also has an inevitable impact on nutritional quality attributes, such as increase or decrease in certain vitamins and bioactive metabolites among others. Food Processing Technologies: Impact on Product Attributes covers a range of food processing technologies and their effect on various food product attri...
Sweeteners
Sweeteners: Nutritional Aspects, Applications, and Production Technology explores all essential aspects of sugar-based, natural non-sugar-based, and artificial sweeteners. The book begins with an overview presenting general effects, safety, and nutrition. Next, the contributors discuss sweeteners from a wide range of scientific and lifestyle perspe
ABSTRACT BOOK of I. INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC PL ANTS
Dear Academicians, Readers and Educators, We are pleased to present the issue of the International Journal of Secondary Metabolite as a special issue entitled ‘I. International Congress on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants - “Natural And Healthy Life”’. This special issue contains some of scientific studies presented in the congress. Hosting the I. International Medical and Aromatic Plant Congress, held in Konya on 9-12 May 2017, by the coorperation T.R. Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs, General Directorate of Forestry and Necmettin Erbakan University was a great honor for us. The total number of abstract submission for the congress was 1923. After the scientific evaluation, 85 abs...
Handbook of Food Processing, Two Volume Set
Authored by world experts, the Handbook of Food Processing, Two-Volume Set discusses the basic principles and applications of major commercial food processing technologies. The handbook discusses food preservation processes, including blanching, pasteurization, chilling, freezing, aseptic packaging, and non-thermal food processing. It describes com
Natural Products in Beverages
This reference book provides a comprehensive overview on active ingredients of the plants that are present in beverages. The book aims to highlight the important aspects of each plant from a botanical perspective elaborating on the morphology of the species and ecological and agronomic specificities on their phytochemistry. It also discusses manufacturing techniques for control and analysis of these products of natural origin. The content is divided into eleven main sections containing chapters contributed from valuable experts in their field. The book serves as a useful resource for graduate students, scholars and researchers in the field of botany, agriculture, food chemistry, nutrition as well as industrial scientists and those involved in marketing of phytochemicals, plants and their extracts.
Nutritional Composition and Antioxidant Properties of Fruits and Vegetables
Nutritional Composition and Antioxidant Properties of Fruits and Vegetables provides an overview of the nutritional and anti-nutritional composition, antioxidant potential, and health benefits of a wide range of commonly consumed fruits and vegetables. The book presents a comprehensive overview on a variety of topics, including inflorescence, flowers and flower buds (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage), bulb, stem and stalk (onion, celery, asparagus, celery), leaves (watercress, lettuce, spinach), fruit and seed (peppers, squash, tomato, eggplant, green beans), roots and tubers (red beet, carrots, radish), and fruits, such as citrus (orange, lemon, grapefruit), berries (blackberry, strawberry, lingonberry, bayberry, blueberry), melons (pumpkin, watermelon), and more. Each chapter, contributed by an international expert in the field, also discusses the factors influencing antioxidant content, such as genotype, environmental variation and agronomic conditions.
Retention of Bioactives in Food Processing
Bioactive compounds in food, known for their positive health effects, can be lost during handling after harvest, processing and storage. While most foods are exposed to processing to increase shelf life and edibility and to ensure microbial safety, conventional processing methods may have disadvantages, such as decreasing the nutritional quality of foods, long processing times, high temperature and high energy uses. For these reasons, novel non-thermal food processing technologies (including HPP, ultrasound) and novel thermal food processing technologies (including microwave/Ohmic heating) have become widespread. This book provides a critical evaluation of the effects of conventional, novel non-thermal, and thermal food processing techniques on the retention and bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds in food materials. Within these three categories, many different processing methods are included: fermentation/germination, drying, extrusion, and modified atmosphere packaging, as well as novel technologies, such as microwave heating, ultrasound, high pressure processing, ozonation, and membrane separation processes.
Green Chemistry in Agriculture and Food Production
Green chemistry is a vital subject playing a key role in environmental sustainability. Despite its importance, very little has been explored in the past years. This book is a comprehensive compilation of the methods, techniques and strategies used in green chemistry. The book highlights some critical aspects of green chemistry related to agriculture and food production. It has been put together for undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students. Each chapter has been cited with new and updated research discoveries to help the postgraduate, and doctorate students and researchers. I hope the presented book will be an important tool for students and researchers.
