Proteins in Food Processing
Proteins in Food Processing, Second Edition, reviews how proteins may be used to enhance the nutritional, textural and other qualities of food products. After two introductory chapters, the book discusses sources of proteins, examining the caseins, whey, muscle and soy proteins, and proteins from oil-producing plants, cereals and seaweed. Part Two illustrates the analysis and modification of proteins, with chapters on testing protein functionality, modeling protein behavior, extracting and purifying proteins and reducing their allergenicity. A final group of chapters delves into the functional value of proteins and how they are used as additives in foods. - Completely revised and updated with new developments on all food protein analysis and applications, such as alternative proteins sources, proteins as emulsifiers, proteins in nanotechnology and egg proteins - Reviews the wide range of protein sources available - Examines ways of modifying protein sources - Discusses the use of proteins to enhance the nutritional, textural and other qualities of food products
Food Proteins
Protein chemistry has entered a revolutionary era due to the introduction of genetic engineering for modifying protein structure, as well as the application of advanced computer technology to the study of proteins. By supplementing the traditional ways of studying protein behavior with these newer methods, food processors will be able to resolve difficult problems without using the costly trial-and-error-method so common in the past. This book gives the reader a good foundation in the basics of modern protein chemistry and to show how applications of these concepts to food proteins helps explain their roles in food processing.
Food Process Design
Utilizes simplified computer strategies to analyze, develop, and optimize industrial food processes. Discusses the integration and economic evaluation of the entire processing plant including effective use of water, energy, and raw materials; process profitability; and wastewater reduction. Offers detailed numerical examples for major food processes including heating, cooling, evaporation, dehydration, and thermal processing.
Food Plant Design
Although chemical engineering and food technology are subject areas closely related to food processing systems and food plant design, coverage of the design of food plants is often sporadic and inadequately addressed in food technology and engineering books. Some books have attempted to treat food engineering from this dual point of view but, most
Obesity Prevention
Over the years, approaches to obesity prevention and treatment have gone from focusing on genetic and other biological factors to exploring a diversity of diets and individual behavior modification interventions anchored primarily in the power of the mind, to the recent shift focusing on societal interventions to design "temptation-proof" physical, social, and economic environments. In spite of repeated calls to action, including those of the World Health Organization (WHO), the pandemic continues to progress. WHO recently projected that if the current lifestyle trend in young and adult populations around the world persist, by 2012 in countries like the USA, health care costs may amount to a...
Food Polysaccharides and Their Applications
Comprehensive in scope, Food Polysaccharides and Their Applications, Second Edition explains the production aspects and the chemical and physical properties of the main classes of polysaccharaides consumed as food, highlighting their nutritional value and their technological characteristics. Chapters in this new edition detail the source,
Future Food Systems
Future Food Systems: Exploring Global Production, Processing, Distribution and Consumption provides an overview of food systems, from farming through to logistics, processing, retail, service and consumption, with the intention of enabling more efficient development of policy and implementation of food related practices. The book presents the considerations which must be understood to develop effective and efficient policies and practices for any level of food system and along the continuum of those systems, with attention being given to the academic, public and private sector challenges, and opportunities for progress, efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability. Presented in parts to hig...
Characterization of Cereals and Flours
Characterization of Cereals and Flours is a state-of-the-art reference that details the latest advances to characterize the effects of manufacturing processes and storage conditions on the thermal, mechanical, and structural properties of cereal flours and their products - examining the influence of moisture absorption, storage temperature, baking, and extrusion processing on flour and cereal product texture, shelf-life, and quality. The book discusses the influence of additives on pre- and postprocessed food biopolymers; the development of databases and construction of state diagrams to illustrate the state and function of cereal flours before, during, and after production; and the current techniques in image analysis, light and electron microscopy, and NMR spectroscopy used to analyze the microstructure of cereal products. It also discusses the methods used to optimize processing parameters and formulations to produce end-products with desirable sensory and textural properties; the shelf life of cereal products; and the relationships between the sensory and physical characteristics of cereal foods.
Encapsulated and Powdered Foods
Encapsulated and Powdered Foods is a practical guide to the characterization and applications of the powdered form of foods. It details the uses of food powder as well as the physical, chemical, and functional properties of particular food powders, such as milk, cocoa, salts, and sugars. The author describes the powder manufacturing processe
Flavor, Fragrance, and Odor Analysis
Written from a practical, problem-solving perspective, this reference explores advances in mass spectrometry, sample preparation, gas chromatography (GC)-olfactometry, and electronic-nose technology for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. The book discusses the chemical structures of key flavor and fragrance compounds and contains numerous examples and chromatograms and emphasizes novel solid-phase microextraction procedures. It includes coverage of isolation and concentration of odor impact chemicals prior to GC manipulation; time-of-flight mass spectrometers and electronic-nose instrumentation; how to identify chemicals responsible for flower scents; and more.
