This book provides a comprehensive review of recent innovations in
food science that are being used to tackle the challenges of food
safety, nutritional security and sustainability. With a major focus
on developing nations, like India, the book is divided into four
main sections. The first section provides an overview of the food
industry, while the second explores food safety in various
segments, with an interesting account of street food safety - an
important, yet often neglected aspect for safety parameters. The
third section, on nutritional security and sustainability, explores
various ways of maximizing nutrition and optimizing waste
management in the food industry. The book closes with a section on
emerging technologies and innovations, which introduces readers to
some of the latest technologies in the food industry, including
advances in food processing, packaging, nanotechnology, etc. The
topics have been divided into 25 different chapters, which offer a
diverse blend of perspectives on innovations in the developing
world. Ideally suited for students and researchers in the food
sciences, the book is also an interesting read for industry experts
in Food Science and Technology.

This book compiles updated information about the role and health
benefits of various bioactives in food. Different chapters are
contributed by academicians, food scientists, technologists, and
medical practitioners. The book addresses both theoretical and
applied aspects of bioactive components and provides exhaustive
knowledge about bioactive components. It comprises 27 chapters
organized into 4 major sections covering topics in food science and
technology, functional foods, and nutraceuticals. It provides
perspectives for innovation, sources, applications, and
sustainability in bioactive component research. The first section
starts with introduction of bioactive components consisting of
seven different chapters primarily focusing on the bioactive
components and their sources with respective health benefits. The
second section, comprising five different chapters, deals with
different technological trends, regulations, and safety aspects of
bioactive components. With eight chapters, the third section covers
the role of bioactive components in human health and the role of
functional foods in combating various health-related issues. The
fourth section reviews functional foods through six chapters that
cover the use of bioactive components in various food products. The
book will prove useful to advanced food technology graduate and
undergraduate students and research scholars, practicing food
technologists in food and related industries, entrepreneurs,
food-pharma researchers, and other scientists seeking information
about smart and sustainable processes as well as information needed
to design and develop these processes.
Militias have proven to be a consistent and enduring challenge to
achieving peace in war zones around the world. Whether armed by
embattled governments in defence of their territory or fostered by
external actors in the interests of greed or grievance, these
groups occupy an uncertain and deeply controversial position in the
changing landscape of conflict. Linked variously to atrocities
against civilians or international criminal elements, part of what
distinguishes them from more traditional combatants is their
willingness to engage in violent tactics that defy international
norms as well as a proclivity to embrace expediency in
alliance-making. As such, their diversity of form, unorthodox
nature and sheer numbers make achieving short-term stability and an
enduring peace a consistently difficult proposition. Bringing
together the lessons learned from four intensively researched case
studies - the Democratic Republic of Congo, Timor-Leste,
Afghanistan and Sudan - the book argues that the overly rigid
'cookie-cutter' approach to demilitaristation, developed and
commonly implemented presently by the international community, is
ineffective at meeting the myriad of challenges involving militias.
In doing so, the authors propose a radical new framework for
demilitarization that questions conventional models and takes into
account on-the-ground realities.

This book discusses one of the biggest challenges of the food
industry, which is waste management. Food industries generate high
amounts of waste, both solid and liquid, resulting from the
production, processing and consumption of food. Stringent
environmental legislators have made the task of waste management
more challenging. Through the three sections of this book, the
readers are introduced to the different types of wastes generated,
utilization of waste through food processing industry and
sustainable waste management technologies. The different chapters
describe how the biomass and the valuable nutrients from food
industry wastes could be used to develop value-added products. The
book reiterates that food wastes and their by-products are an
excellent source of sugars, minerals, dietary fiber, organic acids,
bio active compounds such as polyphenols, carotenoids and
phytochemicals etc. This book is an excellent resource for industry
experts, researchers and students in the field of food science,
food processing and food waste management.
