This book explores the latest advances in the sustainable production of packaged foods. Packaging plays an important role in sustainable food production and consumption in industrialized countries, where there is an increasing pressure to reduce the environmental impact of packaged foods. For example, the European Union recommends packaging from renewable sources, with a focus on bio-based materials. Sustainable packaging processes guarantee the reuse of the entire waste material and at the same time avoid the loss of food safety and quality during storage by preventing food-borne diseases and chemical contamination. Furthermore, the dramatic problem of plastic waste accumulation and the con...

Nel corso dell'ultimo decennio in Italia si è assistito a un crescente interesse per le scienze sensoriali. Di conseguenza è aumentato il numero di ricercatori impegnati in questo settore così come continuano a crescere le aziende che utilizzano le valutazioni sensoriali nell'innovazione e ottimizzazione di prodotto e nel controllo qualità. Nella valorizzazione delle produzioni alimentari di pregio del nostro Paese è sempre maggiore la sensibilità verso l'adozione di metodi rigorosi nella descrizione delle proprietà sensoriali dei prodotti e nelle attività di verifica della conformità a definiti standard sensoriali. La Società Italiana di Scienze Sensoriali ha svolto un ruolo determinante nell'attivare e guidare questo sviluppo. Per il 2008, in continuità con l'attività svolta, la Società ha voluto organizzare il II Convegno Nazionale per un confronto fra tutti coloro che nel nostro Paese operano nel campo delle scienze sensoriali.
A nuanced understanding of modernization in nineteenth-century Brazil that demonstrates Brazilian commitment to technological innovation.
This volume in the Food Preservation Technology Series presents the latest developments in the application of two solid-liquid operations, Osmotic Dehydration (OD) and Vacuum Impregnation (VI), to the food industry. An international group of experts report on the improvement of osmotic processes at atmospheric pressure for fruits and vegetables, cu
Recent Advances in Natural Products Analysis is a thorough guide to the latest analytical methods used for identifying and studying bioactive phytochemicals and other natural products. Chemical compounds, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, carotenoids and saponins are examined, highlighting the many techniques for studying their properties. Each chapter is devoted to a compound category, beginning with the underlying chemical properties of the main components followed by techniques of extraction, purification and fractionation, and then techniques of identification and quantification. Biological activities, possible interactions, levels found in plants, the effects of processing, and current and potential industrial applications are also included.
This book provides a dual perspective on the Internet of Things and ubiquitous computing, along with their applications in healthcare and smart cities. It also covers other interdisciplinary aspects of the Internet of Things like big data, embedded Systems and wireless Sensor Networks. Detailed coverage of the underlying architecture, framework, and state-of the art methodologies form the core of the book.
