Abstract: A textbook for students of food science and nutrition and a comprehensive reference volume for professional food scientists, practicing dietitians, and other medical professionals provides a detailed integration of food chemistry, biochemistry, and nutrition. The text consists of 3 major parts. The first part details the basic chemistry of food constituents, describes analytical methods for determining the nutrient composition of foods, and provides detailed discussions of nutritional energetics, photosynthesis, and food industry colloidal food systems. The second part outlines the integrated metabolism of all food constituents and discusses trace elements, food toxicants, nutritional and etiological factors related to various disease states, the effects of hormonal control on nutritional biochemical sequences, and food-drug interactions. The final part of the book provides basic information on molecular genetics as a basis for the application of engineering to the development of new foods. An extensive use of tablar data and illustrations is made throughout the book, and reference information is provided in 3 appendices.

Food chemistry plays a vital role in food industry because it helps Food Technologists to understand the components and behavior of food and nutritionists to develop healthy diets. The main aim of nutritional professionals now is to apply nutrition principles to promote health and well-being, to prevent disease and to restore health in individuals, families and community. To achieve this goal, application of various scientific principles of food and food processing is essential. This book "Food Chemistry and Nutrition: A comprehensive Treatise" presents the complete spectrum of information about these principles in a clear and accessible format. It serves as an ideal book for undergraduate/graduate students of Food Technology, Food Science and Nutrition. This book provides information on: - Major and minor food constituents, properties and food applications of carbohydrates, proteins & fats. - Different interactions in food systems and various changes in foods on storage and processing. - Nutritional functions of food and Recommended dietary allowances of nutrients. Digestion, absorption, transport and metabolism of nutrients.

This advanced textbook for teaching and continuing studies provides an in-depth coverage of modern food chemistry. Food constituents, their chemical structures, functional properties and their interactions are given broad coverage as they form the basis for understanding food production, processing, storage, handling, analysis, and the underlying chemical and physical processes. Special emphasis is also giben to food additives, food contaminants and tho understanding the important processing parameters in food production. Logically organized (according to food constituents and commodities) and extensively illustrated with more than 450 tables and 340 figures this completely revised and updated edition provides students and researchers in food science or agricultural chemistry with an outstanding textbook. In addition it will serve as reference text for advanced students in food technology and a valuable on-the-job reference for chemists, engineers, biochemists, nutritionists, and analytical chemists in food industry and in research as well as in food control and other service labs.

Free Radicals in Food: Chemistry, Nutrition, and Health presents recent developments in free radical chemistry as it pertains to food systems, antioxidants, and nutritional biochemistry and health. This book intends to illustrate the potential chemical links between food and health. The book is organized into three main sections: Food Chemistry, Antioxidants, and Nutritional Biochemistry and Health. Chapters in the Food Chemistry section cover free radical participation in Maillard reactions, emulsions and lysozymes, milk, meat, and extruded grains. This section also addresses detection of radicals by ESR and spin trapping techniques. Chapters in the Antioxidant section cover phenolic and polyphenols from seeds and tea, tannins, and isoflavonoids. Chapters in the Nutritional Biochemistry and Health section cover the influence of food antioxidants and radical damaged ingredients on oxidases, colon carinogenesis, atherosclerosis, and liver epithelial RL34 cells. The ability of specific food components and supplements to intervene in free radical reactions is believed to play a significant role in their ability to promote health and ameliorate disease. Free Radicals in Food presents specific chemical evidence to support these hypotheses.
