The Dictionary of Food Ingredients is a unique, easy-to-use source of infor mation on over 1,000 food ingredients. Like the previous editions, the new and updated Third Edition provides clear and concise information on currently used additives, including natural ingredients, FDA-approved artificial ingredients, and compounds used in food processing. The dictionary entries, organized in alphabetical order, include information on ingredient functions, chemical properties, and uses in food products. The updated and revised Third Edition contains approximately 1 SO new entries, and includes an updated and expanded bibliography. It also lists food ingredients ac cording to U. S. federal regulatory status. Users of the two previous editions have commented favorably on the dictionary's straightforward and clearly-written definitions, and we have endeavored to maintain that standard in this new edition. We trust it will continue to be a valuable reference for the food scientist, food processor, food product developer, nutritionist, extension specialist, and student. R S. Igoe Y. H. Hui vii Ingredients A Acacia See Arabic. Acesulfame-K A non-nutritive sweetener, also termed acesulfame potas sium. It is a white, crystalline product that is 200 times sweeter than sucrose. It is not metabolized in the body. It is relatively stable as a powder and in liquids and solids which may be heated. Acesulfame-K is approved for use in dry food products. Acesulfame Potassium See Acesulfame-K.
Keeping the importance of the food in our life, it is very important that all people either engaged in food processing or not, should know about the various terminologies being used in food processing for better understanding the concept. But to understand the various concepts of food science and technology, some sort of documentation is needed which the book does to perfection covering the following: o The book contains around 5000 word important acronyms; glossary of related terms for all alphabets from A to Z. o terminology pertaining to food processing, post harvest technology, food science and technology, food engineering, food packaging, food biochemistry and applied nutrition, food and industrial microbiology, processing technology of snack food o bakery and confectionary, cereal crop, beverages, fruits and vegetables, diary, meat, poultry & fish, food biotechnology, food additives, food enzymes, waste management, food toxicants, fermentation technology, health foods and nutraceutical, food quality systems, and analytical techniques for quality control etc. o The terminology in each alphabet has been well illustrated with examples for better understanding. Book shall prove to be a boon to the food professionals like students, researchers, teachers and all those who have interest in the area of Postharvest Technology, Food Technology, Food Science and Technology as well as for professionals related to food processing. The book will be highly beneficial to the undergraduate as well as postgraduate students of various agricultural universities

The study of food and nutrition covers a wide range of disciplines from agriculture, biology, physics, and chemistry to the technologies of food processing, and the fields of nutrition and clinical medicine. As research on the links between health and the food we eat continues to expand, it is becoming increasingly important for specialists in such areas as food processing and nutrition to be familiar with the often unfamiliar terminology differing disciplines use. This classic work meets that need. Succinct authoritative definitions. There is nutrient composition for 287 foods.

From The Author's Preface The study of food and nutrition . . . involves many disciplines and basic sciences--chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biophysics, microbiology, physiology, and the social sciences, along with legal and medical aspects. It is clearly difficult for any one person to be familiar with all the technical terms used. So many . . . practitioners involved in food and nutrition may need to seek the meaning of at least some of them. Changes are continuous in this area with new foods, new processes, new safety hazards (or old ones that have become more important), rapid developments in methods of food analysis and quality control, and particularly in our understanding of the relations between diet and health. All this gives rise to a need for a dictionary. All these items, so far as the author is aware, are included so that the reader of food literature need not be left wondering.
Food microbiology plays an increasingly important role in food R & D, processing, sanitation, QC, biotechnology and nutrition. This professional reference book provides complete, expert definitions of more than 1,500 terms in the current vocabulary of food microbiology. The text also includes short articles on many of the important items defined, such as ingredients, microorganisms, foods, processes and equipment. 45 tables provide additional reference data in convenient form. 23 figures include schematics of processes and line drawings of microorganisms. In short, this is a mini-encyclopedia of food microbiology.
