Technology is only beginning to catch up with the public demand for foods that are low in fat and taste good. An extensive number of ingredients are under development for the sole purpose of fat replacement, using a variety of approaches and base materials. The Handbook of Fat Replacers describes in detail, for the first time in a single volume, the science and application of fat replacers in food products, including the multiplicity of technological, legislative, sensory, nutritional, and marketing issues involved. Part I of the Handbook is an overview of fundamental issues, including historical analyses and critical assessments of technological strategies, in the development of low-fat foods and the ingredients used as fat replacers. Part II discusses individual fat replacers and their properties in detail. The compounds are organized by their composition-starch-derived, fiber-based, protein-based, gums, emulsifiers, bulking agents, combination systems comprised of interactive blends, low-calorie fats, and synthetic fat substitutes, are all examined in detail.

Starch hydrolysis products are arguably the most versatile of all food sugar ingredients because they can be designed to meet many different nutritional and technological requirements. This book covers all aspects of starch production, from its hydrolysis to the analysis of the finished product. In addition, the most important derivatives of starch hydrolysis products are described and their applications in the food and, increasingly pharmaceutical industries are detailed. This book is essential reading for industrial food scientists and technologists, particularly those in processing and will be of interest to those involved in the formulation of pharmaceutical products. It is also a valuable reference source for food scientists and nutritionists in academic research institutes.

This handbook has been extensively updated and describes more than 6,000 trade name additives and more than 3,000 generic chemical additives that are used in food products. The handbook also includes direct additives, intentionally added to food to affect its quality, and indirect additives, those additives that might be expected to become part of a food or as a result of production, processing, storage, or packaging. Additives are critical components of food preparation as they play an important role in increasing the flavor, texture, preservation, and value of food products as well as aiding in all aspects of food manufacture. Food regulations for the US, Europe (E numbers), and Japan are also included. Some of the food additives covered in this reference are: anticaking agents, antioxidants, fillers, flavors, emulsifiers, instantizing agents, nutrients, pH control agents, solvents, starch complexing agents, stiffening agents, suspending agents, sweeteners, tenderizers, texturizers, thickeners, etc. This reference is exhaustively cross-referenced by chemical component, function, application, CAS number, EINECS/ELINCS number, and FEMA number.
