Dietary Fiber, Gut Microbiota and Health covers the most recent advances in the functionalities of dietary fiber with a focus on the underlying mechanisms that influence gut microbiota. In four sections, this work begins with foundational information on the human gut microbiome and moves to more advanced knowledge on various types of dietary fiber and the impact of each on the gut microbiome before finally covering health outcomes and the potential for personalized applications of fiber for improved health. It will serve as an invaluable reference to dieticians, researchers, and graduate and post-graduate students in nutrition, food science, pharmaceutical science and beyond. - Describes basic science of gut microbiome and effects on human health - Covers sources, characteristics, and actions of fiber on gut microbiota - Structures chapters for comparison of fiber types
A circular and environment-friendly economy could displace the linear economy as it is in use around the world. This would involve enlarged life cycles for products, and an increase in the efficiency of electric and electronic devices. The generation of new materials will be essential, as well as materials recycling or conversion after use. This book discusses new ways of production, management, recycling and conversion of new and regular materials. Keywords: Microplastics, Lignocellulose-Based Materials, Food Packaging, Biorefinery, Solar Energy, Reused Materials, Recycling of Plastics, Biopolymers, Composites, Polymeric Systems, CO2 Capture, Anticorrosive Polymeric Coatings, Metallic Structures, Scrap for New Steel, Nanomaterials, Waste from Electronic Components, Future of Cars, Raw Materials, Biomaterials, Bioeconomy, Circular Bioeconomy, Polymeric Electrolytes, Fuel Cells.

The Microbiological Quality of Food: Foodborne Spoilers covers the microbiological spoilage of foods, with a focus on the spoilers, the foods themselves, and the signs of spoilage. The book addresses traditional spoilers (filamentous fungi, spore-forming bacteria, yeasts, SSO in fish), as well as some emerging spoilers (Pseudomonas), now recognized as primary targets. Sections also provide a brief overview of important foods (vegetables, milk and dairy products, meat, and fish) and addresses safety and economic loss. Details on the signs of spoilage, how to prevent spoilers, and methods of detecting spoilage and spoilage microorganisms in foods are also presented. This is an authoritative re...
Essays on the York Mystery Plays, uniting voices from the scholarly world with the York community that has assumed responsibility for their production today. The York Play of Corpus Christi, also known as the York Cycle, has been central to the study of early English theatre for over a century and a touchstone for the revival of medieval dramatic practice for over fifty years. But these two endeavours... have often found little common ground. This volume therefore accomplishes something very important. It brings together scholars of medieval English drama and places them in dialogue with experienced practtitioners from the community. Together, they share a common commitment to understanding ...
