Climate change is a major challenge facing modern society. The
chemistry of air and its influence on the climate system forms the
main focus of this book. Vol. 2 of Chemistry of the Climate System
takes a problem-based approach to presenting global atmospheric
processes, evaluating the effects of changing air compositions as
well as possibilities for interference with these processes through
the use of chemistry.
The food industry has seen many changes over the last several
decades - new technologies have been introduced into the way we
cook, manufacture, and present food products to consumers. Digital
gastronomy, which combines new computational abilities such as
three-dimensional (3D) printing with traditional food preparation,
has allowed consumers to design and manufacture food with
personalized shapes, colours, textures, and even nutrition. In
addition to the personalization of food, 3D printing of food has
other advantages such as promoting automation in food preparation
and food sustainability through 3D-printed cell-based meats and
alternative proteins. Entire meals can be constructed just by 3D
food printing alone.In this textbook, the background, principles,
commercial food printers, materials, regulations, business
development, as well as the emerging technologies and future
outlook of 3D food printing are explored. In terms of 3D-printed
materials, four main classes are reviewed: namely, desserts /
snacks (comprising dairy products, chocolate, sugars, and dough),
fruits / vegetables, meats /alternative proteins, and
pharmaceuticals / nutraceuticals.This textbook has been written to
offer readers keen to learn more about 3D food printing in terms of
concepts, processes, applications, and developments of 3D food
printing. No prior knowledge is required. At the end of each
chapter, a set of problems offers undergraduate and postgraduate
students practice on the main ideas discussed within the chapter.
For tertiary-level lecturers and university professors, the topic
on 3D food printing can be associated to other subjects in food and
nutrition, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sciences, and food
engineering.
