Viili Perpetual No-Cook Homemade Yogurt is the perfect introductory booklet to viili, a yogurt-like, traditional Finnish dish which never needs to be cooked and is made entirely on the countertop by pouring milk into a starter (the residue of the yogurt you just used). Yogurt making has never been easier! With expert advice from self-sufficiency expert Caleb Warnock, Viili Perpetual No-Cook Homemade Yogurt includes the history of viili; where to get a start; how to use it with pasteurized milk, raw milk, and powdered milk; how to store it; how to keep the yogurt sweet; specific scientific health benefits; and twenty delicious recipes.

NUTRITIONAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Food science is a rapidly changing and complicated subject. This new series addresses the current state-of-the-art concepts and technologies associated with the industry and will cover new ideas and emerging novel technologies and processes. The book Nutritional Science and Technology: Concept to Application in the series, “Bioprocessing in Food Science,” is an excellent resource for any scientist, engineer, student, or other industry professional interested in this topic. It covers a wide range of topics, including human nutrition, technological processes, the health benefits of fermented foods, and food safety concerns. The content contributors and editors are experts in the field, and their primary goal is to provide extensive knowledge about recent technologies in nutritional science and technology to students, researchers, and industry professionals. Manufacturers are looking for new possibilities to occupy a growing share of the rapidly changing food market, and this book will enable them to make informed decisions about adopting appropriate processing technology, implementation, economics, and constraints of different technologies. The book also provides insights on advances in nutritional science and technology for healthy and safe nutrition, with maximum illustrations of how to ensure public health safety and adequate nutrition. Overall, this book is a comprehensive overview of this study area and a valuable resource for anyone interested in this field.

Oilseeds offer a plethora of opportunities for the food and feed industry, thanks to their high oil and protein content . Their phytonutrients and functional components have attracted the interest of researchers, leading to the development of functional foods. This book gathers the latest scientific information on the nutrients, phytonutrients and health benefits as well as the adverse effects of consuming various conventional and non-conventional oilseeds. In addition, each chapter includes a section comprehensively explaining the use of oilseeds in functional bakery, dairy, and other food products. Given its scope, the book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, nutritionists, food scientists and technologists, and for anyone involved in product development based on oilseed and its components.

In a world that is constantly evolving, our understanding of nutrition and its impact on human health has grown exponentially. Food, once merely a source of sustenance, is now recognized as a powerful tool for improving public health and well-being. Organized into four sections, Food Fortification: Trends and Technologies presents a comprehensive exploration of food fortification—from its historical roots to its modern applications. Part I introduces the concept of food fortification as a potential strategy for the control of micronutrient malnutrition and the role of micronutrients in human health, recommended dietary allowance, and source. It also details the deficiency, prevalence, populations under risk, and factors contributing to micronutrient deficiency. Part II summarizes the prevalence, causes, and consequences of vitamin deficiencies. It lays a framework for national and international fortification programs. In addition, it provides information about case studies, the impact of fortification on food textural and sensory properties, as well as challenges with currently used fortification methods. Part III provides technical information on various minerals that can be used to fortify foods, including their chemistry, absorption, metabolism, and biological role. It also reviews their applications in specific food vehicles. Part IV describes the key steps involved in food bioactive fortification. This section also deals with the fortification of multigrain flour and challenges associated with PUFA fortification. It also highlights the important roles of encapsulation on bioavailability, with examples of fortification in dairy, egg, bakery, confectionery, and other products. This book delves into the critical realm of fortifying our food supply to address the complex nutritional challenge and is a tribute to the progress that has been made in food fortification over the past few decades, as well as a call to action for the work that still lies ahead.
