Recent Advances in Ready-to-Eat Food Technology
Ready-to-Eat (RTE) describes foods that need not be cooked, reheated, or otherwise prepared before consuming them. Recent Advances in Ready-to-Eat Food Technology covers all the aspects of RTE from statistics, method of production, mechanization, thermal and non-thermal processing, gluten-free, consumer behavior, control of foodborne illness and hygiene, packaging requirements, and improved functionalization to application of nanotechnology. Key Features: Covers the development of ready-to-eat products from meat, cereal, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and pulses Provides a global review of labeling and packaging for ready-to-eat products Discusses hygienic design and safety in the production and consumption, with an emphasis on pathogenicity issues Written by a team of well-recognized researchers who present the latest advances in RTE food product development, this book is of interest to industry professionals and academicians as well as to undergraduate students and postgraduate researchers.
Neoliberalism and Imperialism: Dissecting the Dynamics of Global Oppression
Todays neoliberal imperialism crushes all unfavourable conditions through multiple forms of oppression to ensure the creation of a world in its own image. The systemic and structural oppression birthed by neoliberal imperialism, once again, reproduces and implements colonialism-armed robbery on a global scale. The difference between the old form and the new form is the scale of destruction and the overt use of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Hence the militarization of the globe is a natural outcome. In this book, Professor Tatah Mentan argues that United Fruit Company, for instance, could not have flourished without the strong support of the Marines, the U.S State Department and all of its res...
Promoting Green Economy
Most African national economies depend on the exploitation of both renewable and non-renewable natural resources for development. Conventional and unconventional exploitation of natural resources has left negative carbon footprints. This has also degraded hotspots across the African continent, impacting negatively on people and the environment. A Green Economy offers the continent the opportunity to achieve sustained economic development devoid of environmental degradation and inefficient utilisation of natural resources. This book, Promoting Green Economy, explores issues affecting the socio-economic development of the continent and focuses on Africa’s need for a green economy. With chapt...
Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals
"Functional food or medicinal food is any fresh or processed food claimed to have a health-promoting and/or disease-preventing property beyond the basic nutritional function of supplying nutrients, although there is no consensus on an exact definition of the term. This is an emerging field in food science, in which such foods are usually accompanied by health claims for marketing purposes, such as a company's ‘cereal is a significant source of fiber. Studies have shown that an increased amount of fiber in one's diet can decrease the risk of certain types of cancer in individuals.’ Functional foods are sometimes called nutraceuticals, a portmanteau of nutrition and pharmaceutical, and can include food that has been genetically modified. The general category includes processed food made from functional food ingredients, or fortified with health-promoting additives, like "vitamin-enriched" products, and also fresh foods (e.g., vegetables) that have specific claims attached. Fermented foods with live cultures are often also considered to be functional foods with probiotic benefits."

Protein Structure
Since the dawn of recorded history, and probably even before, men and women have been grasping at the mechanisms by which they themselves exist. Only relatively recently, did this grasp yield anything of substance, and only within the last several decades did the proteins play a pivotal role in this existence. In this expose on the topic of protein structure some of the current issues in this scientific field are discussed. The aim is that a non-expert can gain some appreciation for the intricacies involved, and in the current state of affairs. The expert meanwhile, we hope, can gain a deeper understanding of the topic.
Natural Antioxidants
This book provides state-of-the-art discussion of natural antioxidants from dietary sources, their occurrence, health effects, chemistry, and methodologies. The book summarizes data on the occurrence of antioxidative compounds in cereals and legumes, oilseeds, herbs and spices, vegetables, teas, muscle foods, and other commodities. The antioxidant vitamins and enzymes also are thoroughly discussed. The potential beneficial effects of dietary antioxidants, the chemistry of food antioxidants, and methodologies to assess lipid oxidation and antioxidant activity also have been covered.
Practical Polyphenolics
This book describes the scientific basis for the action of plant polyphenols in a wide range of phenomena.
Food, Health and Environmental Issues in Developing Countries: The Nigerian situation.
Nigeria, a country in sub-Sahara Africa occupies a total of 910,000 km2 with a population of about 135 million, according to 2007 Federal statistics. Over 90% of foreign exchange earnings come from crude oil (petroleum) export while more than 60% of the population lives in the rural areas and practice subsistence agriculture. Average life expectancy is 47.4 years, with 46 years for male and 48 years for female. Recent statistics (World Bank) have shown that over 70% of Nigerians live below poverty line, on less than one dollar ($1) per day. Over 70% of the population is classified as poor, with 35 % living in absolute poverty. Infant mortality rate is put at 95.5/1000 while the under-five mo...
