Antimicrobials in Food

Antimicrobials in Food

Fifteen years have passed since the 3rd edition of Antimicrobials in Food was published. It was arguably considered the must-have reference for those needing information on chemical antimicrobials used in foods. In the years since the last edition the food industry has undergone radical transformations because of changes on several fronts. Reported consumer demands for the use of natural and clean-label antimicrobials have increased significantly. The discovery of new foodborne pathogen niches and potentially hazardous foods along with a critical need to reduce food spoilage waste has increased the need for suitable antimicrobial compounds or systems. Novel natural antimicrobials continue to be discovered and new research has been carried out on traditional compounds. These and other related issues led the editors to develop the 4th edition of Antimicrobials in Food. In the 4th edition the editors have compiled contemporary topics with information synthesized from internationally recognized authorities in their fields. In addition to updated information new chapters have been added in this latest release with content on the use of bacteriophages lauric arginate ester and various systems for antimicrobial encapsulation and delivery. Comprehensive revisions of landmark chapters in previous editions including naturally occurring antimicrobials from both animal and plant sources methods for determining antimicrobial activity new approaches to multifactorial food preservation or hurdle technology and mechanisms of action resistance and stress adaptation are included. Complementing these topics is new information on quantifying the capability of clean antimicrobials for food preservation when compared to traditional food preservatives and industry considerations when antimicrobials are evaluated for use in food manufacture. Features Covers all food antimicrobials natural and synthetic with the latest research on each type Contains 5 000+ references on every conceivable food antimicrobial Guides in the selection of appropriate additives for specific food products Includes innovations in antimicrobial delivery technologies and the use of multifactorial food preservation with antimicrobials

The Building Blocks of Life A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals

The Building Blocks of Life A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals

Within the United Kingdom (UK) most mainstream healthcare practitioners receive little or no nutrition education during their years of training. As a consequence the understanding of nutrition amongst primary care practitioners such as general practitioners pharmacists midwives and practice nurses is limited and is largely focused on energy consumption and obesity. There is little knowledge of the wealth of micronutrients that underpin health nor of the ticking timebomb of insufficient intakes of those micronutrients amongst a significant proportion of the population in the UK. The Building Blocks of Life: A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals is a step towards redressing that balance. It sets out an informative and engaging narrative on how and why nutrition is the basis for good health. It discusses UK-specific issues with regards to diet and intakes of vitamins minerals essential fatty acids and other micronutrients. It also raises concerns about the potential negative health implications of the generally poor UK diet and suggests ways that healthcare practitioners can support patients in improving their long-term health outlook. Nutrition policy in the UK needs to be dragged into the 21st century and this book sets out evidence-based arguments which challenge current public health myths such as the idea that 10 micrograms of vitamin D is all anyone needs or the messaging around the consumption of saturated fat vs highly processed seed oils or that everyone can get all the nutrients they need from a varied and balanced diet. Although The Building Blocks of Life: A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals focuses on concerns around poor diet and the consequent micronutrient inadequacies in the UK the nutritional detail is relevant no matter where you are in the world. Everyone eats all the time. It is time that mainstream medicine looked towards food as both a cause and a solution to many of the chronic degenerative conditions that plague modern life. | The Building Blocks of Life A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals
