Explore the Pros and Cons of Food Analysis InstrumentsThe identification, speciation, and determination of components, additives, and contaminants in raw materials and products will always be a critical task in food processing and manufacturing. With contributions from leading scientists, many of whom actually developed or refined each technique or

This title is the first comprehensive book on sampling and modern sample preparation techniques and has several main objectives: to facilitate recognition of sample preparation as both an integral part of the analytical process; to present a fundamental basis and unified theoretical approach for the professional development of sample preparation; to emphasize new developments in sample preparation technology; and to highlight the future impact of sample preparation on new directions in analytical science, particularly automation, miniaturization and field implementation. Until recently, there has been relatively little scientific interest in sampling and sample preparation, however this situ...
The Program of Energy Research & Development (PERD) is a federal program that focusses specifically on Canadian energy issues and their impact. PERD funds energy research & development interests in 12 departments. Environment Canada is a key player in PERD, leading the delivery of environmental science & technology specific to energy issues. This publication first indicates how Environment Canada's energy research & development activities jointly benefit both departmental & PERD mandates. It then describes the department's involvement in PERD over 2001-03 at the project level by profiling PERD projects in six sectors: oil & gas, transportation, buildings & communities, industry, electricity, and climate change. For each project, information is included on objectives, methodology, goals, outputs, successes, and funding.
This multi-contributed book is edited by an expert in the field and includes chapters from across the globe. It is fully cross-disciplinary relating green principles to the food industry, covering legal and policy issues, engineering, food processing and food science. It addresses the alternatives to conventional food processing that have reduced energy requirements or solvent use and how they affect final food quality. Initially, the principles of green chemistry and technologies are outlined to provide a justification and basis for the processing methods that are addressed. This is followed by a discussion of legal and policy issues in both the EU and the US which provide further justification for the need for such technologies and the constraints and benefits of current policies and regulations. The major green technologies available to the food industry are discussed, outlining the main principles and applications of each. The degree to which they are already in commercial use and developments needed to extend their use further are also covered.
* An all-new update to the classic hazmat reference book, with several new chapters * Addresses issues such as International Law and Regulations, Risk Assessment, Biological Effects and Spill Modeling * New chapters feature information on frequently spilled compounds and list tables of materials
The book explains the importance of chemistry in solving environmental issues by highlighting the role green chemistry plays in making the environment clean and green by covering a wide array of topics ranging from sustainable development, microwave chemical reaction, renewable feedstocks, microbial bioremediation, and other topics that, when implemented, will advance environmental improvement. Green Chemistry for Environmental Remediation provides insight on how educators from around the world have incorporated green chemistry into their classrooms and how the principles of green chemistry can be integrated into the curriculum. The volume presents high-quality research papers as well as in-...
This work details water sampling and preservation methods by enumerating the different ways to measure physical, chemical, organoleptical, and radiological characteristics. It provides step-by-step descriptions of separation, residue determination, and cleanup techniques for a variety of fresh- and salt-waters. It also discusses information regarding the analysis and detection of bacteria and algae.
Thermal processing remains one of the most important processes in the food industry. Now in its second edition, Thermal Food Processing: New Technologies and Quality Issues continues to explore the latest developments in the field. Assembling the work of a worldwide panel of experts, this volume highlights topics vital to the food industry today and pinpoints the trends in future research and development. Topics discussed include: Thermal properties of foods, including heat capacity, conductivity, diffusivity, and density Heat and mass transfer and related engineering principles, mechanisms, and models The development and application of deterministic heat transfer models for predicting inter...
The assessment of all materials - and especially elastomeric and plastic components - for the presence of leachable and extractable components, forms an important part of the submission for approval of a new drug system or medical device. This Update gives a detailed, state-of-the-art review of the selection of techniques, available to the analyst, to perform a controlled extraction study for leachables and extractables, with an overview of the factors to consider when selecting the extraction technique. This book will be of interest to Chemists and R&D managers.
