Indigenous Fermented Foods of South Asia covers the foods of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, and Afghanistan. For each type of food, its microbiology, biochemistry, biotechnology, quality, and nutritional value is covered in depth.The book discusses numerous topics including various types of fermented foods, their o

Featuring results presented at the Sensitivity to PROP (6-n-propylthiouracil) symposium held as a satellite to the European Chemosensory Research Organisation conference in Erlangen, Germany, this volume's field-shaping selections review all sides of PROP sensitivity measurement-from its descriptive worth with regard to sensory experiences, individual taste perceptions, and food choices to its predictive power in the nutrition and public health arenas. Written by recognized names from industry and academia, Genetic Variation in Taste Sensitivity is ideal for taste, olfaction, and flavor chemists and scientists; sensory evaluation chemists and scientists; and nutritionists.

Handbook of Dough Fermentations describes the preparation of ferments and utilization of starters in the commercial baking and food industries and offers in-depth discussion on the modification of sourdough processes in the production of common bakery products, as well as the microbiological principles, fermentation pathways, product formulations, and technological methodologies relating to these procedures. This unique reference examines statistical market trends for fermented cereal, yeast, and natural and sourdough products. It pinpoints areas of potential for products and foods using fermentation science and analyzes the application of starters in the production of specific products.

The only comprehensive source on extraction process optimization, this book details the installation, construction, development, modeling, control, and economics of conventional and specialized extraction systems in the food processing industry. It supplies case studies for illustration of specific extraction systems in commercial food production.

Thoroughly updated to accommodate recent research and state-of-the-art technologies impacting the field, Volume 2: Residues and Other Food Component Analysis of this celebrated 3 volume reference compiles modern methods for the detection of residues in foods from pesticides, herbicides, antibacterials, food packaging, and other sources. Volume 2 evaluates methods for: establishing the presence of mycotoxins and phycotoxins identifying growth promoters and residual antibacterials tracking residues left by fungicides and herbicides discerning carbamate and urea pesticide residues confirming residual amounts of organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides detecting dioxin, polychlorobiphenyl (PCB), and dioxin-like PCB residues ascertaining n-nitroso compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons tracing metal contaminants in foodstuffs

Frozen foods make up one of the biggest sectors in the food industry. Their popularity with consumers is due primarily to the variety they offer and their ability to retain a high standard of quality.
