The structure and physicochemical properties associated with various nutrients can play important roles during the formulation and stability of food matrices. Furthermore, the degradation of nutrients through natural and industrial processes can often lead to negative implications in relation to the pro-longed quality and safety a food product. Through this module, students will gain the necessary knowledge, understanding and insights to be able to discuss the relationship between nutrient structure and function within a food product. In addition, this module will address the stability of nutrients when subjected to pro-longed storage, industrial processing techniques and the incorporation of additives, thus providing students with the ability to discuss and troubleshoot the perceived barriers and solutions associated with product shelf-life.

2013-04-17 Food Chemistry Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN 9783662072790 ISBN-13 3662072793

The 3rd edition has been extensively re-written and many topics of particular interest to food technologists have been added or completely revised. The book now comprises more than 620 tables and 472 figures, including the structural formulae of around 1,100 food components. This standard text and reference is logically organized according to food constituents and commodities. It provides students and researchers in food science, food technology, agricultural chemistry and nutrition with the up-to-date information they require. The extensive tables for easy reference, the wealth of information, and the comprehensive subject index aid advanced students to acquire in-depth insight into food chemistry and technology and make this book also a valuable on-the-job reference for chemists, food chemists, food technologists, and more. Praise for the first edition: "Few books on food chemistry treat the subject as exhaustively researchers will find it to be a useful source of information. It is easy to read and the material is systematically presented." (JACS)

2021-01-03 Essentials of Food Science Springer
ISBN 3030468135 ISBN-13 9783030468132

The fifth edition of the Essential of Food Science text continues its approach of presenting the essential information of food chemistry, food technology, and food preparations while providing a single source of information for the non-major food science student. This latest edition includes new discussions of food quality and new presentations of information around biotechnology and genetically modified foods. Also new in this edition is a discussion of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), a comparison chart for Halal and Kosher foods and introductions to newly popular products like pea starchand the various plant-based meat analogues that are now available commercially and for household use. Each chapter ends with a glossary of terms, references, and a bibliography. The popular Culinary Alert! features are scattered throughout the text and provide suggestions for the reader to easily apply the information in the text to his or her cooking application. Appendices at the end of the book include a variety of current topics such as Processed Foods, Biotechnology, Genetically Modified Foods, Functional Foods, Nutraceuticals, Phytochemicals, Medical Foods, and a Brief History of Foods Guides including USDA Choosemyplate.gov. V.A. Vaclavik, Ph.D., RD. has taught classes in nutrition, food science and management and culinary arts for over 25 years at the college level in Dallas, Texas. She is a graduate of Cornell University, human nutrition and food; Purdue University, restaurant, hotel, institution management; and Texas Womans University, institution management and food science. Elizabeth Christian, Ph.D. has been an adjunct faculty member at Texas Womans University for more than 25 years, teaching both face-to-face and online classes in the Nutrition and Food Science department. She obtained her B.S. and her PhD. In Food Science from Leeds University, England, and then worked as a research scientist at the Hannah Dairy Research Institute in Scotland for Five years before moving to the United States. Tad Campbell, MCN, RDN, LD is a clinical instructor at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, where he teaches Food Science and Technology as well as other nutrition courses in the Master of Clinical Nutrition Coordinated Program. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Baylor University as well as a Master of Clinical Nutrition from UT Southwestern where he studied Food Science under Dr. Vickie Vaclavik.

2018-02-22 Principles of Food Chemistry Springer
ISBN 3319636057 ISBN-13 9783319636054

Completely revised, this new edition updates the chemical and physical properties of major food components including water, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, minerals vitamins and enzymes. Chapters on color, flavor and texture help the student understand key factors in the visual and organoleptic aspects of food. The chapter on contaminants and additives provides an updated view of their importance in food safety. Revised chapters on beer and wine production, and herbs and spices, provide the student with an understanding of the chemistry associated with these two areas which are growing rapidly in consumer interest. New to this edition is a chapter on the basics of GMOs. Each chapter contains new tables and illustrations, and an extensive bibliography, providing readers with ready access to relevant literature and links to the internet where appropriate. Just like its widely used predecessors, this new edition is valuable as a textbook and reference.

2017-06-16 Food Analysis Springer
ISBN 3319457748 ISBN-13 9783319457741

This fifth edition provides information on techniques needed to analyze foods for chemical and physical properties. The book is ideal for undergraduate courses in food analysis and is also an invaluable reference to professionals in the food industry. General information chapters on regulations, labeling, sampling, and data handling provide background information for chapters on specific methods to determine chemical composition and characteristics, physical properties, and objectionable matter and constituents. Methods of analysis covered include information on the basic principles, advantages, limitations, and applications. Sections on spectroscopy and chromatography along with chapters on techniques such as immunoassays, thermal analysis, and microscopy from the perspective of their use in food analysis have been expanded. Instructors who adopt the textbook can contact the editor for access to a website with related teaching materials.

2017-06-23 Food Analysis Laboratory Manual Springer
ISBN 3319441256 ISBN-13 9783319441252

This third edition laboratory manual was written to accompany Food Analysis, Fifth Edition, by the same author. New to this third edition of the laboratory manual are four introductory chapters that complement both the textbook chapters and the laboratory exercises. The 24 laboratory exercises in the manual cover 21 of the 35 chapters in the textbook. Many of the laboratory exercises have multiple sections to cover several methods of analysis for a particular food component or characteristic. Most of the laboratory exercises include the following: background, reading assignment, objective, principle of method, chemicals, reagents, precautions and waste disposal, supplies, equipment, procedure, data and calculations, questions, and references. This laboratory manual is ideal for the laboratory portion of undergraduate courses in food analysis.
