Handbook of Research on Food Science and Technology Volume 1: Food Technology and Chemistry

Handbook of Water Sensitive Planning and Design

Handbook of Water Sensitive Planning and Design

Design options and planning procedures must be critically examined to ensure that landscapes are created with sensitivity to water quality and management issues as well as overall ecological integrity. Handbook of Water Sensitive Planning and Design presents the history of water as a design and planning element in landscape architecture and describes new interpretations of water management. This text pushes the frontiers of standard water management in new directions challenging readers into abandoning the comfortable safety of conducting business-as-usual within narrow disciplinary confines and instead directing views outward to the exciting and incompletely mapped regions of true interdisciplinary water sensitive planning and design. With contributions from renowned practitioners Part I provides seventeen chapters addressing the subject of site-specific water sensitive design and Part II presents another seventeen chapters focusing on issues relating to the water sensitive planning of riparian buffers and watersheds. In addition Professor France has provided a "Response" to accompany each chapter which succinctly underscores the salient features in more detail and emphasizes cross-linking to other chapters in the book. The "Overview" provides a brief road-map to navigate through the section. Finally the discussion summaries at the end of each section elaborate on past problems current challenges and future directions. Handbook of Water Sensitive Planning and Design puts forward the very best of modern water sensitive planning and design and should be required reading for everyone involved in this dynamic and crucial field.

Food-Drug Synergy and Safety

Food-Drug Synergy and Safety

Scientists health professionals and consumers are increasingly interested in the relationships between food components and food-drug combinations as they strive to find more effective ways to prevent or treat chronic disease. As one of the first unified and in-depth sources in this emerging topic Food-Drug Synergy and Safety explores the vast potential benefits of food and food-drug synergy. The book addresses the interaction of two or more components within a single food between several foods or between foods and drugs consumed together in which the potential health benefit is greater than the effect of the single component food or drug. Each chapter follows a consistent framework and addresses the health benefits mechanisms of action and safety aspects pertaining to the food and food-drug synergies. Sections discuss food and food-drug synergies in the context of specific disease groups such as cardiovascular disease cancer osteoporosis inflammatory diseases hypertension and obesity for easy reference in a clinical setting. A separate section focuses entirely on performance enhancers including caffeine creatine and ephedrine/ephedra and their potential to influence human health in addition to ergogenic applications. The final section provides scientists with a framework for designing experiments that elucidate the heath benefits and safety aspects of food and food-drug synergies. Food-Drug Synergy and Safety lays the essential foundation in this new direction of research as it gains momentum in the fields of food nutrition medicine and pharmaceutical sciences.

Organic Acids and Food Preservation

Organic Acids and Food Preservation

Although organic acids have been used to counteract pathogens in food for many years there is a glaring need to assess and improve their continued effectiveness and sustainability. There is also a growing demand for foods that are produced using milder treatments (e. g. less heat salt sugar and chemicals) and newer technologies to prevent the growth of dangerous bacteria. Organic Acids and Food Preservation concentrates on safe and effective techniques for applying organic acids to prevention of bacterial growth. Despite the wide range of potentially useful antimicrobials relatively few are suitable in practice—and this invaluable hands-on guide explains why. With its wealth of information and rare focus solely on the subject it provides practical tools that can be used in the food industry various academic disciplines research education and food technology fields to better understand the problem and develop optimal solutions. Why are preservative strategies ineffective?Why are microorganisms becoming acid tolerant and resistant in other ways? To answer these and other key questions the authors combine research findings from industries and laboratories around the globe specific application regimen future prospects and other information that is vital to the successful use of organic acids as food preservatives. After outlining challenges that the food industry faces from modern consumer trends food legislation and other obstacles this book then explores possible solutions that are applicable not only to food science but to microbiology food science food technology biochemistry and biotechnology. It will become a valuable addition to the library of any scientist or researcher working in these and other fields.

Food Insecurity and Public Health

Food Insecurity and Public Health

Affecting more than 800 million people food insecurity is a global problem that runs deeper than hunger and undernutrition. In addition to the obvious impact on physical well-being food insecurity can result in risky coping strategies increased expenditures on medical costs or transportation and mental health issues. A review of the concepts and impacts of food insecurity through the lens of public health Food Insecurity and Public Health details the complex issue of food insecurity and explores its reach beyond economics and agronomics. The book guides you through the fundamentals beginning with theory and the challenges in measuring it and moving on to the impact of food insecurity on health. The book details the implications of food insecurity on public health practice including epidemiology and outcomes of diseases such as HIV TB and non-communicable diseases and the specific impact on women’s health. It closes with case studies from the Navajo Nation Kenya and Southern Africa offering the opportunity to learn from real-life successes and challenges. Each chapter also considers programs or interventions that have been used to attempt to address the issue including a discussion of the US federal food stamps program. In truth however there continues to be a dearth of data on the ways in which programs can effectively address the problem of food insecurity at the household community or district level in either the short or long term—beyond of course the elimination of poverty which is no doubt a root cause of the problem. The book gives you context for considering the links between food insecurity and health and a framework for seeking integrated solutions to both problems.

Novel Food Processing Effects on Rheological and Functional Properties

Novel Food Processing Effects on Rheological and Functional Properties

Rapid expansion of research on the development of novel food processes in the past decade has resulted in novel processes drawn from fields outside the traditional parameters of food processing. Providing a wealth of new knowledge Novel Food Processing: Effects on Rheological and Functional Properties covers structural and functional changes at the micro level and their implications at the macro level in food exposed to new and emerging technologies. Contributions from an international panel with academic and professional credentials form the backbone of this work. They focus on the functional rheological and micro-structural changes that occur in foods when using emerging technologies such as high pressure processing Ohmic heating pulse electric fields and ultraviolet radiation. The book examines new and innovative applications and presents the impact of these research findings on the nutritional aspects of protein and carbohydrate containing foods. It also considers the synergic effects of protein-starch components. Each chapter provides an in-depth analysis of a novel technology and its effect on food structure and function. New directions in food processing will continue to be influenced by diverse fields and used to respond to consumer concerns about food safety quality sensory attributes and nutrition. Combining coverage of technological applications with the chemistry of food and biomaterials this book illustrates in a very clear and concise fashion the structure-functionality relationship and how it is affected by newly developed and increasingly popular processing technologies. | Novel Food Processing Effects on Rheological and Functional Properties
