Chemical and Functional Properties of Food Components, Second Edition
An advanced text/reference, this book provides an overview of the composition, structure, and functionality of key food components and their effects on food product quality. It emphasizes the mechanisms of reactions of components in food systems during storage and processing and their effects on the quality attributes of food products, including nutrition and sensory attributes. International experts provide concise presentations of the current state of knowledge on the content, structure, chemical reactivity, and functional properties of food components. This second edition includes two new chapters covering chemical composition and structure in foods and probiotics in foods.
Functional Properties of Food Components
Functional Properties of Food Components reviews the roles and functions of specific components in foods. It addresses three main questions: What in the biochemical make-up of food components makes them ""tick"" in the production of desirable and acceptable foods? Why do those components/entities perform the way they do and, often, why do they fail to perform as expected? Which functions continue to be elusive and require more searching and probing? The book is organized into three parts. Part I discusses specific food components such as water, carbohydrates, corn sweeteners and wheat carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and enzymes. Part II deals with food additives and foods of the future; and reviews the role of components in four well-established foods: dairy, wheat flour, malt, and soybean products. Part III presents the available information and documentation on food components. This book is intended for the undergraduate with a background in the general biochemistry of natural materials, but is also interested in specific information on the function of those components in foods. It is also meant for the food scientist or technologist who is familiar with food formulation and production, and for any other interested reader with an appropriate background, whether managerial or scientific.
