Offers comprehensive coverage of the latest toxicological, technological, and nutritional developments in both natural and synthetic antioxidants used in the food industry. Explores the sources of antioxidants, antioxidant classification, synergism, degradation in food systems, and techniques for identification.
Discusses composition, processing technologies, and utilization of oilseeds, including current developments in their processing into oil, protein products, and other byproducts. Major crops covered include soybean, rapeseed, sunflower, peanut, oil palm, cotton, coconut, safflower, sesame, corn, and rice. Minor oilseeds covered include niger, olive, mango kernel, poppy, cocoa beans, shea, hemp, grape seed, perilla, and Chinese vegetable tallow. Many unexploited sources of oil and many non-edible oilseeds are also explored. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Furnishes exhaustive, single-source coverage of the production and postharvest technology of more than 70 major and minor vegetables grown in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions throughout the world. Provides comparative data for each vegetable presented.
The present world population of about five billion and its projected growth cre ate enonnous pressures and demands for food and industrial raw materials. It is to crop plants, one of our precious few renewable resources, that we must look to meet most of these needs. Globally, about 88% of our caloric requirements and 90% of our protein ultimately derive from plant sources-ample evidence of their importance to humankind. Our survival will therefore continue to de pend on the world's largest and certainly most important industry: agriculture. Yet in spite of our long history of domestication and civilization, the number of crop species involved in sustaining human life is strictly limited: Essentially, some twenty-four crops protect us from starvation. To know these basic food crop plants-to study how they function and how their productivity may be improved--is the first step in solving the world food problem. The primary objectives in writing this book were to address this chal lenge and to review comprehensively the wealth of available yet scattered infor mation on food crop productivity and processing. Unlike several other texts and monographs in this field, the present work was intended to give, in a single volume, a quick, infonnative view of the various problems from field to table concerning the major food crops worldwide.

This concisely written book presents information on types of plant phenolics. The sole focus of this volume is on dietary tannins. It reviews the fact that tannins interact with dietary proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, digestive enzymes, and lower nutrient availability. This work reveals that in certain parts of the world, tannins also have been reported as carcinogenic. This literature comprehensively reviews chemistry and plant biochemistry, and methods of extraction. It also explains the harmful and toxic effects and remedies to alleviate dietary tannins. This useful resource is a must for all food scientists, nutritionists, biochemists, and animal scientists throughout the world.
