Offers concise coverage of spices and herbs from basic science to the most recent developments in spice functions and applications. Introduces a new patterning theory of extensive spice use in various types of food preparations.
Presents the latest research in the control of foodborne pathogens. Emphasizes traditional and emerging techniques as well as current applications for the inactivation of microorganisms to reduce illness and enhance food safety and quality.
Focusing exclusively on postharvest vegetable studies, this book covers advances in biochemistry, plant physiology, and molecular physiology to maximize vegetable quality. The book reviews the principles of harvest and storage; factors affecting postharvest physiology, calcium nutrition and irrigation control; product quality changes during handling and storage; technologies to improve quality; spoilage factors and biocontrol methods; and storage characteristics of produce by category. It covers changes in sensory quality such as color, texture, and flavor after harvest and how biotechnology is being used to improve postharvest quality.
If you are interested in pepper--its provenance, history, taste, and uses—then this is a book for you. J.E. Barth recounts the fascinating history of pepper from ancient times through the present and traces the challenges at each step of the pepper supply chain as it make its way from the growers to the kitchens and dining tables around the world. He covers quality assessment, storage, processing, taste and uses of pepper, including its cosmetic and pharmacological applications. A selection of recipes is included to provide a flavourful backdrop to this tasty guide to the world’s most popular spice.
A careful analysis of Roman food processes, including those for cereals, olive oil, wine, other plant products, animal products, and condiments. The work combines analysis of literary and archaeological evidence with that of traditional comparative practices and modern food science.
This volume illustrates significant changes in optical, magnetic, ultrasonic, mechanical and biological nondestructive evaluation techniques for online automatic control of food quality evaluation, including X-ray tomography. It presents advances in computer vision, X-ray imaging, ultrasonics, biosensors, and data analysis.
Upholding the standards that made previous editions so popular, this reference focuses on current strategies to analyze the functionality and performance of food emulsions and explores recent developments in emulsion science that have advanced food research and development. Written by leading specialists in the field, the Fourth Edition probes the latest technologies in food emulsion assessment for excellence in food product design and focuses on methods of emulsion characterization and investigation. It contains new discussions on droplet analysis, surface forces, and the rheology of emulsions and examines essential components of everyday foods such as breads, condiments, margarine, and cheese.
