Trends in Food Engineering

<p>Lately proteomics is being applied to different areas within food technology. Since proteins can be used as markers for many properties of a food, even indicating the processes used, they can provide evidence of the food's labeling claim. This book is an overview of the applications, drawbacks, and advantages, of proteomics for food authentication.</p>

<p>Membranes processing techniques are used to help separate chemical components based on molecular size under specific pressure. A great advantage of membrane processing techniques is that it is a non-thermal processing technique, which can retain enormous bioactive constituents to a greater extent. Being a less energy intensive process, this technique is widely used in several food processing industries such as in the clarification of fruit juices and wine&#x3b; the concentration of milk&#x3b; the preparation of whey protein concentrate&#x3b; and water and waste treatment, among others. </p><p>Applications of Membrane Technology for Food Processing Industries introduces membrane processing techniques, presenting principles, theory and operational conditions for achieving efficient quality product. It discusses different types of membrane processing techniques viz. reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, electro dialysis, microfiltration, pervaporation, including its applications, advantages and disadvantages.</p><p>Key Features: </p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Deals with the retention of antioxidants by using novel membrane processing techniques </li> <p> </p> <li>Includes the application of membrane processing techniques in whey processing</li> <p> </p> <li>Explains the method for degumming, dewaxing and decolorization of edible crude oils</li> <p> </p> <li>Narrates application of membrane processing techniques in waste water treatment for efficient use</li> </ul><p>Readers, such as professors, scientist, research scholars, students and industrial personnel, will come to know about the current trends in use of membrane processing techniques for its application in several food processing industries. This book can be a ready reference for the food industrial industry for manufacturing of deacidified clarified fruit juices and wine by using integrated membrane technique approach.</p><p>In a nutshell, this book will benefit food scientist, academicians, students and food industrial persons by providing in-depth knowledge about membrane processing of foods for quality retention and also for efficient consumer acceptability.</p>

<p>The book<i> Encapsulation in food processing and fermentations</i> provides new insights into food encapsulation processes. The chapters are organized in a manner that even readers who are not familiar with encapsulation will find the information of interest. </p>

<p>First published in 1982: This publication should be an invaluable tool to food technologists, dieticians, and nutritionalists, as well as to livestock producers and persons engaged in production, processing, and formulation of animal feeds.</p>
