On prend de plus en plus conscience de la necessite d'une normalisation sur le plan national et international des produits de transformation du manioc pour le commerce international. Ce rapport recapitule les informations dont on dispose actuellement sur les normes existantes, a la fois officielles et autres, concernant les produits du manioc et on y discute les parametres de qualite qui y sont lies.
Applied Food Science and Engineering with Industrial Applications highlights the latest advances and research in the interdisciplinary field of food engineering, emphasizing food science as well as quality assurance. The volume provides detailed technical and scientific background of technologies and their potential applications in food preservation. The volume’s broad perspective reflects the expertise of international and interdisciplinary engineers, drawing on that of food technologists, microbiologists, chemists, mechanical engineers, biochemists, geneticists, and others. The volume will be valuable and useful for researchers, scientists, and engineers, as well as for graduate students in this dynamic field. This book is a rich resource on recent research innovations in food science and engineering with industrial applications, presenting a practical, unique and challenging blend of principles and applications.
Functional Properties of Food Components reviews the roles and functions of specific components in foods. It addresses three main questions: What in the biochemical make-up of food components makes them ""tick"" in the production of desirable and acceptable foods? Why do those components/entities perform the way they do and, often, why do they fail to perform as expected? Which functions continue to be elusive and require more searching and probing? The book is organized into three parts. Part I discusses specific food components such as water, carbohydrates, corn sweeteners and wheat carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and enzymes. Part II deals with food additives and foods of the future; and reviews the role of components in four well-established foods: dairy, wheat flour, malt, and soybean products. Part III presents the available information and documentation on food components. This book is intended for the undergraduate with a background in the general biochemistry of natural materials, but is also interested in specific information on the function of those components in foods. It is also meant for the food scientist or technologist who is familiar with food formulation and production, and for any other interested reader with an appropriate background, whether managerial or scientific.
Monthly. References from world literature of books, about 1000 journals, and patents from 18 selected countries. Classified arrangement according to 18 sections such as milk and dairy products, eggs and egg products, and food microbiology. Author, subject indexes.
Cassava is second only to sweet potatoes as the most important starchy root crop of the tropics. Cassava refers to roots of the plant, whereas tapioca denotes baked products of cassava flour. The plant grows easily, has large yields, and is little affected by diseases and pests. The plant, grown for edible tubers, is a staple food in many tropical countries, an important source of starch, and valuable as a famine relief crop. Industrial use of the crop is expanding. Cassava products are used for bath human and animal consumption. Discussion includes cultivation practices, processing operations for flour and starch, baked tapioca products, starch factories, product utilization, quality control, world trade, and predictions of future industrial developments and uses.
