Oxidative rancidity is a major cause of food quality deterioration,
leading to the formation of undesirable off-flavours as well as
unhealthful compounds. Antioxidants are widely employed to inhibit
oxidation, and with current consumer concerns about synthetic
additives and natural antioxidants are of much interest. The two
volumes of Oxidation in foods and beverages and antioxidant
applications review food quality deterioration due to oxidation and
methods for its control. The first volume focuses on oxidation
mechanisms and antioxidant activity. Initial chapters in part one
describe oxidation processes in foods, including the role of
metals, heme proteins and lipoxygenase. The impact of oxidation on
food flavour and the health aspects of oxidized fats are also
covered. Final chapters in part one review the measurement of the
extent of lipid oxidation and methods for food shelf-life
determination. Part two discusses the ways in which antioxidants
inhibit food oxidation, factors affecting antioxidant efficacy,
methods to measure antioxidant activity and novel antioxidants.
With its distinguished international team of editors and
contributors, the two volumes of Oxidation in foods and beverages
and antioxidant applications is standard references for R&D and
QA professionals in the food industry, as well as academic
researchers interested in food quality.
