Chemical and Functional Properties of Food Components (Hardcover, 4th edition)

Through three editions, this book described the contents of food raw materials and products, the chemistry/ biochemistry of food components, as well as the changes occurring during post harvest storage and processing affecting the quality of foods. Chemical and Functional Properties of Food Components, Fourth Edition, discusses the role of chemical compounds in the structure of raw materials and the formation of different attributes of food quality, including nutritional value, safety, and sensory properties. This new edition contains four new chapters: Non-Protein Nitrogenous Compounds; Prooxidants and Antioxidants in Food; Non-Nutritive Bioactive Compounds in Food of Plant Origin; and Methods Used for Control of the Sensory and Biological Properties of Foods. These chapters have been included because new research results have brought increasing knowledge on: the effect of nonprotein nitrogenous compounds, especially bioactive peptides, nucleic acids, and biogenic amines on the biological properties of foods; the role of natural and added pro-oxidants and antioxidants in processing and biological impact of foods; numerous beneficial and harmful effects of bioactive components of plant foods; new systems of control of food composition and the safety of foods. Features: Stresses the effect of the chemical/biochemical reactions on the selection of optimum parameters of food processing without presenting details of the technological processes Describes naturally occurring elements and compounds as well as those generated during food handling in view of health hazards they may bring to consumers Discusses the risks and benefits of reactions occurring during food handling The knowledge of the chemistry and biochemistry of the components and their interactions presented in this book aids food scientists in making the right decisions for controlling the rate of beneficial and undesirable reactions, selecting optimal storage and processing parameters, as well as the best use of food raw materials.
