Many foods depend on additives for safety, stability, or preservation. Foods are packaged to protect them and keep them in good condition while they are delivered to shops, stacked on shelves or stored at home. This volume introduces and surveys the broad and complex interrelationships among food ingredients and processing, and explores how these factors influence food quality and safety. This will be a valuable reference for professionals in food processing, as well as for those working in fields that service, regulate, or otherwise interface with the food industry.

This is a comprehensive book provides thorough up-to-date coverage of a broad range of topics in food science and technology and describes avenues of advanced study in the field.

Topics in the book cover:
  • Active packaging based on the release of carvacrol and thymol for fresh food
  • Vegetable oils as platform chemicals for synthesis of thermoplastic bio-based polyurethanes
  • Antioxidant activity of Maize Bran Arabinoxylan Microspheres
  • Comparative estimation of Kalanchoe juice antioxidant properties
  • Activating by para-aminobenzoic acid of sowing properties of seed of winter grain crops and forage cereals
  • Enzymes for the flavor, dairy, and baking industries
  • Membrane technology in food processing
  • Tenderization of meat and meat products
  • Molecular and immunological approaches for the detection of important pathogens in foods of animal origin
  • Biological properties of mushrooms
  • Cross-linking of ferulated Arabinoxylans extracted from a Maxican wheat flour: Rheology and Microstructure of the Gel
  • Free and ester-linked ferulic acid content in a hard-to-cook Pinto bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) variety
  • Polyacrylamide-Grafted Gelatin: Swellable Hydrogel Delivery System for Agricultural Applications
  • The dynamics of bacteria and pathogenic fungi in Soil Microbiocenosis under the influence of Biopreparations use during Potato cultivation
  • Swellable Hydrogel Delivery System for Agricultural Applications
  • Irradiation of Fruits, Vegetables and Spices for better preservation and quality
  • A study on the potential of oilseeds as a sustainable source of oil and protein for aquaculture feed
