Wheat - An Exceptional Crop: Botanical Features, Chemistry, Utilization, Nutritional and Health Aspects presents the exceptional position of wheat among food crops. The book demonstrates the benefits and drawbacks of wheat from a wheat science, nutrition and technology perspective. Organized into 13 chapters, chapters 1 - 3 present a basic overview of wheat; chapters 4 - 6 explore the overall benefits of wheat for the general population, and chapters 7 - 13 assess wheat-related disorders that affect a small portion of the population. Wheat - An Exceptional Crop: Botanical Features, Chemistry, Utilization, Nutritional and Health Aspects is an exceptional reference for those working in and researching the fields of agronomy, food chemistry, food technology, nutrition, allergology and gastroenterology. - Explores the botanical features of wheat, chemical composition of wheat grains, and the cultivation and milling of wheat - Highlights wheat-based food and feed, wheat-based raw materials, and the nutritional value of wheat - Discusses principles of wheat hypersensitivities and various wheat-related disorders
A biography of a staple grain we often take for granted, exploring how wheat went from wild grass to a world-shaping crop. At breakfast tables and bakeries, we take for granted a grain that has made human civilization possible, a cereal whose humble origins belie its world-shaping power: wheat. Amber Waves tells the story of a group of grass species that first grew in scattered stands in the foothills of the Middle East until our ancestors discovered their value as a source of food. Over thousands of years, we moved their seeds to all but the polar regions of Earth, slowly cultivating what we now know as wheat, and in the process creating a world of cuisines that uses wheat seeds as a staple...

Handbook of Plant-Based Food and Drinks Design discusses conventional and emerging technologies for plant-based ingredient improvement (yield, nutritional composition and functional properties) while considering food safety, sustainability, and social impact to explore current and potential markets through research and innovation. Divided in 7 sections, the book covers Plant sources for functional ingredients, Processing plant-based sources, Plant-based food design to replace/mimic animal food, Innovation in plant-based food, The promise of parity, Safety and regulations of plant-based foods, Social, environmental, and economic impact, and more. Written by a team of experts in the field, this book can be a good support for researchers and scientists working with plant-based food, drinks, and market trends. - Brings a critical overview about the health-beneficial compounds of plant-based sources - Offers guidelines on how to formulate plant-based food or a food alternative - Discusses the transition towards more plant-based diets on nutrition, economy climate change, health, and sustainability
This series publishes original contributions which describe and theoretically analyze structures of natural languages. The main focus is on principles and rules of grammatical and lexical knowledge both with respect to individual languages and from a comparative perspective. The volumes cover all levels of linguistic analysis, especially phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, including aspects of language acquisition, language use, language change, and phonetical and neuronal realization.
