The Chemical Physics of Food
This important book covers the main types of materials that foodscientists have to deal with. Special attention is given to starchand gluten as being of particular importance in food science andnot typical of general classes of substance. The book approachesthe subject matter form a physics viewpoint. Based on the fundamental quantitative principles, which must formthe basis for any discussion, qualitative or quantitative, aboutthe behaviour of the systems involved, the book thus differs fromothers currently available. The editor, Peter Belton, currentlyPresident of the Institute of Food Science and Technology has drawntogether an impressive list of international contributors,providing a book which is essential to all those involved in workon the structure of foods
Mass Spectrometry of Natural Substances in Food
Introduces the principles, practice, and application of mass spectrometric techniques in the study of natural substances in foods. Early chapters address the principles and practice of mass spectrometry, followed by applications in flavor analysis and the determination of non-nutrient, biologically-active, natural substances in foods. Also covered is the analysis and metabolic study of amino acids, peptides, proteins, lipids, sugars, carbohydrates, and vitamins, with separate chapters on mineral and micronutrient metabolism and techniques of pyrolysis mass spectrometry.

Pseudocereals and Less Common Cereals
This book, written by leading grain scientists from Europe and Africa, examines six grains that have been important food crops in various parts of the world and have the potential for much greater and more widespread use. The authors discss the chemistry, nutritional value, food processing technologies and potential applications of three true cereals: sorghum, spelt wheat and the major millet species, and three dicotyledonous pseudocereals: grain amaranth, buckwheat and quinoa. The text is of considerable importance in light of the fact that just three cereal grains account for more than 75% of all grains produced worldwide.
The Maillard Reaction
It is almost 100 years since the Maillard reaction was first described. Despite decades of research since then, the products of the reaction and the mechanistic pathways leading to their formation are only gradually being unravelled. Combining comprehensive information regarding the various methods that can be employed in the analysis of Maillard products with a discussion of the advantages and limitations of those methods, this unique book provides a 'one-stop' text from which methods of analysis may be obtained. It will be useful for both new and experienced researchers who are involved in solving the mysteries and complexities of Maillard chemistry.
Food, Science and Society
There is widespread concern amongst consumers about the safety and acceptability of food, and there are clearly communication gaps between consumers, many food professionals and food industry. This book offers accounts of the two-way nature of this difficult communication process and steps that can be made to bridge these communication gaps in a variety of social and cultural environments. Individual chapters of the book analyze the roles of science, culture, and risk perception, and of mass media and attitudes towards eating. An additional section describes the interface between scientists and lay people with regard to policy-making and agricultural practice.
Magnetic Resonance in Food Science
Magnetic Resonance has become an established technique to improve the understanding of food systems. Capturing contributions from a whole range of applications in food and representing the latest technical innovations, this will be a contemporary book on the topic. Based on a conference which has established an international reputation as the forum for advances in applications of magnetic resonance to food, the coverage will be dedicated to multiscale definition of food, quantitative NMR (qNMR), foodomics, on-line non-invasive NMR (dedicated to Brian P. Hills), quality and safety and new developments in the area. It is aimed at academics and industrialists who are committed to the utilisation of MR tools to improve our understanding of food.
Nanobiomaterials
The book provides a comprehensive overview of the synthesis, characterization and potential applications of nanobiomaterials. Emphasis is placed on antimicrobial action, bone regeneration, wound treatment, cancer diagnosis, environmental cleanup and the ethical considerations of nanomedicine. Keywords: Nanomaterials, Green Chemistry, Synthesis of Nanoparticles, Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles, Antimicrobial Action, Bone Regeneration, Wound Treatment, Molecular Targets, Cancer Diagnosis, Environmental Clean-up, Ethics of Nanomedicine.
Magnetic Resonance in Food Science
Magnetic resonance has long demonstrated its tremendous versatility in many areas of science. Nowhere has this been more apparent than in food science, where problems encountered in a variety of situations can be resolved using one of the many techniques available to the magnetic resonance practitioner. From structural studies and investigations of molecules in frozen sugar solutions, to identifying the origins of salmon and detecting free radicals in irradiated food, magnetic resonance techniques can provide useful information. Divided into four sections entitled A View Towards the Next Century; Food Safety and Health; Structure and Dynamics; and Analysis, Monitoring and Authentication, the book consists of top quality contributions from renowned international scientists, and looks at what magnetic resonance techniques can offer both now and in the future. Offering state-of-the-art material, Magnetic Resonance in Food Science: A View to the Future is essential reading for both academics and industrialists in food science.
Advances in Food and Nutrition Research
Advances in Food and Nutrition Research recognizes the integral relationship between the food and nutritional sciences and brings together outstanding and comprehensive reviews that highlight this relationship. Contributions detail the scientific developments in the broad areas of food science and nutrition and are intended to ensure that food scientists in academia and industry as well as professional nutritionists and dieticians are kept informed concerning emerging research and developments in these important disciplines. The Advisory Board includes Daryl Lund, a recipient of the International Award by the Institute of Food Technologists. All food scientists and nutritionists should have access to this publication. - Series established in 1948 - Advisory Board consists of 8 respected scientists - Unique as it combines food science and nutrition research together
