Technology : Food Industry & Science

Developments such as the increasing globalisation of the food industry, constant innovations in technologies and products, and changes in the susceptibility of populations to disease, have all highlighted the problem of emerging pathogens. Pathogens may be defined as emerging in a number of ways. They can be newly- discovered (e.g. through more sensitive analytical methods), linked for the first time to disease in humans, or first associated with a particular food. A pathogen may also be defined as 'emerging' when significant new strains emerge from an existing pathogen, or if the incidence of a pathogen increases. Designed for microbiologists and QA staff in the food industry, and food safety scientists working in governments and academia, this collection discusses ways of identifying emerging pathogens and includes chapters on individual pathogens, their epidemiology, methods of detection and means of control. more...

Emulsifiers are essential components of many industrial food recipes, whether they be added for the purpose of water/oil emulsification in its simplest form, for textural and organoleptic modification, for shelf life enhancement, or as complexing or stabilising agents for other components such as starch or protein. Each chapter in this volume considers one of the main chemical groups of food emulsifiers. Within each group the structures of the emulsifiers are considered, together with their modes of action. This is followed by a discussion of their production / extraction and physical characteristics, together with practical examples of their application. Appendices cross-reference emulsifier types with applications, and give E-numbers, international names, synonyms and references to analytical standards and methods. This is a book for food scientists and technologists, ingredients suppliers and quality assurance personnel. more...

Food engineers describe physical, chemical, and biological properties of foods that are of practical importance and for which significant data exist. They emphasize a clear physical understanding of the properties with representative and sufficient data, rather than providing extensive data sets. New chapters to the third edition consider mass-volu more...

With increasing regulation and consumer pressure, the food industry needs to ensure that its production methods are sustainable and sensitive to environmental needs. This important collection reviews ways of analysing the impact of food processing operations on the environment, particularly life cycle assessment (LCA), and techniques for minimising that impact. The first part of the book looks at the application of LCA to the key product areas in food processing. Part 2 then discusses best practice in such areas as controlling emissions, waste treatment, energy efficiency and biobased food packaging. more...
