    The Age of Clean Label Foods (2022)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Food science. ; Nutrition   . ; Consumer behavior. ; Food Science. ; Nutrition. ; Consumer Behavior .
    Description / Table of Contents: 1.Introduction -- 2.Natural emulsifiers as clean label ingredients -- 3.Natural antioxidants & flavorings for clean label foods -- 4.Clean label foods with reduced fat content -- 5.Recent advances in oleofoam stability and its application -- 6. Clean label interventions in active and intelligent food packaging -- 7.Consumer behavior and industry implications.
    Abstract: In recent years, "clean label" has become a trendy term in the food industry, spurring innovations in food product development. While the concept of "clean label" is relatively new, without any legal definition, it has a high market appearance and industrial relevance. Consumer demands are leading food and beverage manufacturers toward removing synthetic additives (e.g., emulsifiers) and incorporating natural ingredients. Indeed, many big food companies have committed to eliminating artificial food additives from their products altogether. However, the substitution of chemical preservatives for natural ingredients without compromising food safety, convenience, and sensory quality is a challenge for food technologists. The Age of Clean Label Foods offers a guide to this approach with a thorough exploration of "clean label" ingredients in foods and the development of these food products. All aspects of clean label foods are covered in this essential reference, including recent developments in "clean label ingredients," technologies for producing or enhancing the functionality of ingredients, the interaction of ingredients with emerging food processing technologies, legislative frameworks, and consumer attitudes. Particular emphasis is given to trendy topics in the clean label industry, such as products with reduced-fat or reduced salt content, modified starches, natural emulsifiers, antioxidants, flavorings and antimicrobials, and fermented foods, as well as active and intelligent packaging for clean label foods. Through this text, the authors hope to promote a better understanding from which food technologists and food microbiologists can operate in the "clean-label" arena, taking into consideration all the key aspects of food quality, sensory characteristics, and food safety. .

    Superfoods : Cultural and Scientific Perspectives (2022)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Food science. ; Nutrition   . ; Food Studies. ; Food Science. ; Nutrition.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Avocados -- Bush Berries -- Chocolate -- Coffee -- Dark Leafy Greens -- Fermented Milk Products -- Ginger -- Oily fish -- Seeds -- Tea -- Tree Berries -- Tubers -- Wine and Grapes. .
    Abstract: Superfoods have come to the forefront of the public imagination due to a combination of presumed health benefits and cultural mystique. Much of the literature on these foods, however, is based upon rostrums and diet plans that accept the health claims of superfoods without subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny. Superfoods: Cultural and Scientific Perspectives examines these food products from a blended science and cultural viewpoint, presenting a balanced, evidence-based view of each food item. Following a discussion of “superfoods” as a category, the book’s chapters examine individual superfoods, including but not limited to: avocados, chocolate, wine, berries, and fish oil. Presented in a systemic manner, each chapter provides a cultural history of the superfood; a survey of the current state of nutritional research on the food and its health claims; an exploration of related science topics to enhance understanding of the superfood, (i.e., a survey of the botany, biology, or chemistry studies); social issues associated with the superfood, such as sustainability, environmental health concerns, agricultural issues, fair trade and marketing issues; and one to three recipes featuring the superfood. This combination of scientific and cultural perspectives makes Superfoods an invaluable reference for academics, industry professionals, and lay-readers alike. .

    Details
    Keywords: Food science. ; Nutrition   . ; Neurosciences. ; Physiology. ; Biochemistry. ; Food Science. ; Nutrition. ; Neuroscience. ; Physiology. ; Biochemistry.
    Description / Table of Contents: An Introduction: Overview of Nervous system and Brain Disorders -- Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Brain Disorders -- Physiological Significance of Oxidative Stress and Anti-oxidative System -- Oxidative Stress as a triggering Mechanism of Various Diseases -- Chief Role of Neuroinflammation and Oxidative Stress in Brain Disorders -- Available Treatment Modules of Brain disorders -- Antioxidants Mitigate Oxidative Stress: A General Overview -- Role of Endogenous and Dietary Antioxidants in Brain Disorders -- Antioxidants as an Adjuncts to Conventional Therapies against Oxidative Stress -- Role of Antioxidants, and Life Style in Managing Brain Disorders Oxidative Stress Biomarkers and Antioxidant Treatments in Brain Diseases -- Clinical use of antioxidants for the treatment of Brain disorders. .
    Abstract: Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are considered causative factors in various neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. Antioxidants are chemicals that bind with oxidative species and nullify their effect from causing damage to biological molecules. Endogenous antioxidants are produced by our body, however most of them are obtained from external sources, primarily through diet, called dietary antioxidants. Major sources of antioxidants are brightly colored fruits, vegetables, cereals, legumes, and herbs. Other very effective sources are berries, green tea, and dark chocolate. These compounds have the potential to hinder neurodegeneration, reduce neuronal death and improve memory as well as cognitive functions. Based on the complex nature of antioxidants and oxidative stress, particular antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C or β-carotene are beneficial in protecting cells, organs and tissues against oxidative damage. The Role of Natural Antioxidants in Brain Disorders describes various neuroprotective effects and their physiological phenomenon mediated by antioxidants to maintain and regulate the general health biomarkers against brain disorders. The important role of antioxidants, diet and lifestyle in managing brain disorders is covered, as is their use in conjunction with conventional therapies against oxidative stress. Both exogenous and endogenous antioxidants are explored in full. By focusing on the role of oxidative stress as a triggering mechanism for various brain disorders and the use of antioxidant foods in conjunction with traditional therapies in combating and preventing them, this is a valuable source for researchers in food science, nutrition, health science and physiology.

    Abstract: Plants produce chemicals as part of their normal metabolic activities. These include primary metabolites found in all plants, such as sugars and fats, as well as secondary metabolites, which can have therapeutic effects in humans and be refined to produce drugs. Plants synthesize a bewildering variety of phytochemicals, but most are derivatives of a few biochemical motifs. Numerous herbal-derived substances have been evaluated for their therapeutic potential. These include alkaloids, coumarins, saponins, plant pigments and flavonoids. Flavonoids, carotenoids and anthocyanins are probably the best known of these substances due to their antioxidant properties. Carotenoids: Structure and Function in the Human Body presents comprehensive coverage of carotenoids. The text covers the scientific literature and clinical significance of this organic pigment, with an emphasis on its therapeutic potential. The authors approach carotenoids from a range of perspectives, from their structural and physicochemical properties to their distribution in nature, interaction with the human metabolism, and use as a coloring agent in various products. The intake, metabolism and secretion of anthocyanins in the human body are covered in-depth, as are the biosynthetic pathways through which these compounds are synthesized in the natural system. Factors affecting stability and extraction are listed, and health-related uses and biological activities are covered in great detail. Present and future trends in carotenoid research are also presented. This book provides a solid background in carotenoids for researchers and professionals in food science, food technology, nutrition, biology, chemistry and medical sciences.

    Designing Gluten Free Bakery and Pasta Products (2023)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Food science. ; Food Analysis. ; Chemistry. ; Food Safety measures. ; Nutrition   . ; Food Science. ; Food Chemistry. ; Food Analysis. ; Food Safety. ; Nutrition.
    Description / Table of Contents: Everything it must be known about the relation of gluten to human health -- Raw materials. Traditional and non-conventional cereals, pseudo-cereals, oilseeds and legumes -- Non-cereals starch resources -- Use of additives in gluten-free formulations -- Fermented gluten-free baked goods -- Gluten free non-fermented bakery -- Gluten free edible films, coatings, and toppings -- Gluten free pasta production and formulation design -- Sensory analysis tools in developing gluten-free bakery and pasta products and their quality control -- Regulation and labelling. Methods of analysis for the determination of gluten in foods.
    Abstract: The ingestion of gluten in the human diet can lead to gastrointestinal disorders such as celiac disease, allergy to wheat and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Currently the best treatment is the strict adherence to a diet without sources of prolamins and gliadins (wheat), secalin (rye) and hordein (barley). Several studies have revealed that a gluten-free diet may lead to nutrient deficiencies. Therefore, the formulation of gluten-free foods, particularly those related to cereals, is a major challenge. A great effort has been put into improved technological and nutritional aspects of gluten-free cereal products, as evidenced by the large amount of research published in journal articles. Thus far there has been no compilation of this up-to-date research which would lead to better implementation of healthy gluten-free products. Designing Gluten Free Bakery and Pasta Products provides a tool for designing gluten-free bakery and pasta products taking into account the most up-to-date advances and knowledge of gluten-related diseases, extensively covering both traditional and non-traditional gluten-free raw materials and bakery and pasta processes. This book will be particularly useful for food scientists and technologists developing gluten-free bakery and pasta products, plus physicians and nutritionists working with patients with gluten related diseases. .

    Abstract: Spices can be classified as major spices, like Black pepper, Cardamom, Turmeric, Ginger etc, and minor spices and condiments, and tree spices. This book will discuss exclusively minor spices and condiments. Spices constitute a very important group of agricultural products, which, since antiquity, have been considered indispensable in the culinary art of flavoring foods. The history of spices is very much entwined with the history of mankind. And, some spice crops like Black pepper predominates in the family of spices. In fact, colloquially, it is called “King”of spices and, another, Cardamom, is called the “Queen”of spices. There is worthwhile amount of published work, on these in addition to Turmeric and Ginger. Both ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ISI (Indian Standards Institution) (now BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards)) experts concluded, after considerable deliberations, that there is no clear-cut division between “spices” and “çondiments”, and, as such, they have been clubbed together. The term “Spices and Condiments” applies to such natural plant or vegetable products or mixtures, thereof, used in whole or ground form, mainly for imparting flavor, aroma and piquancy to foods and also for seasoning of foods and beverages like soups etc. A detailed survey of published literature proves that there are a number of minor spices, which have tremendous commercial potential, globally. And, an authentic book on these will not only serve as an important guide to the academic community, but, also provide a fillip to industry involved in value addition.
