Book Description
The latest volume in the Advances in Chemical Engineering series
The theme of the present volume “Multiscale Analysis” has been introduced about a decade ago and is now reaching a stage where a first balance can be made and further research directions should be decided. Contributions have been carefully selected to ensure the reader will not be confronted with quantum mechanics at one side of the spectrum nor with chemical plants or even the environment on the other side. Maintaining a strong connection with reality i.e. experimental data was another selection criterion. Experimental validation remains the corner stone of any theoretical development and very powerful experimentel techniques are emerging.Areas covered include discussing in depth an important example of experimental techniques. Coming from the medical world, Magnetic Resonance techniques can now provide even quantitative answers to problems our community is faced wi (more…)

Review
?…useful review of an exciting field of food science and technology, I would expect to find this book in any good library.??Laurie Melton, Univ of Auckland — Food News
This major reference provides a comprehensive treatment of the physiological effects of foods and food components capable of promoting good health and preventing or alleviating diseases. It assembles, in one volume, extensive recent information on the nature and physiological effects of biologically-active components of major plant foods-cereals, oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables-and dairy and fish products. For the first time in any reference work, internationally renowned specialists discuss how to manufacture and evaluate food products with health enhancing effects, using both traditional and novel processing methods. Entire chapters are devoted to functional food products from oats, wheat, rice, flaxseed, mustard, fruits, vegetables, fish, and dairy products. T (more…)

Ellagic Acid is a compound found in red raspberries. This unique nutraceutical supplement combines therapeutic levels of polyphenols from plants: ellagitannins (Ellagic acid) from raspberries, pomegranates and terminalia chebula; oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC) from whole grape extract; catechins from green tea and Graviola, together with the antioxidant vitamins A, C, E and the mineral Selenium to create a potent antioxidant formula. The scientific laboratory evidence and clinical medical research supporting the protective effects of these nutrients in multiple areas of health concern are reviewed in “Chemopreventive Properties of Phytochemicals ” including their potent actions against the two most feared killers of our time, Cardiovascular Disease and Cancer. Ellagic acid causes cancer cells to go through the normal apoptosis cycle (natural cell death) without damaging healthy cells and inhibits the growth of tumors caused by carcinogens.

Review
?well written and well documented?This will be an excellent reference for scientists and technologists involved with various facets of food technology principles. – Vijai K. S. Shukla, Director, International Food Science Centre A/S, Denmark, inform, Vol. 12
Food Shelf Life Stability provides a unique approach to understanding this critical subject by examining physical, chemical, and biochemical factors affecting food quality. The first section emphasizes the effects that water activity, glass transition, and plasticization have on temperature, water content, and time-dependant phenomena affecting the shelf life of low and intermediate moisture foods.The remaining chapters discuss how mechanical handling and temperature, irradiation, and packaging all influence shelf life. Section two, on chemical factors, examines the benefits of controlled atmosphere storage and modified atmosphere packaging on vegetables, fruits, grains, and oilseeds. (more…)

Review
“[...]an excellent introductory food analysis textbook[...]for instruction, or as a reference manual for analysts in the food industry.” (Food Technology)
The first and second editions of Food Analysis were widely adopted for teaching the subject of Food Analysis and were found useful in the food industry. The third edition has been revised and updated for the same intended use, and is being published with an accompanying laboratory manual. Food Analysis, Third Edition, has a general information section that includes governmental regulations related to food analysis, sampling, and data handling as background chapters. The major sections of the book contain chapters on compositional analysis and on chemical properties and characteristics of foods. A new chapter is included on agricultural biotechnology (GMO) methods of analysis. Large sections on spectroscopy, chromatography, and physical properties are included. All topics cover (more…)

This is a comprehensive piece of work providing the reader a powerful resource for the design, development and performance evaluation of photocatalytic reactors. This book will be used as a reference for a graduate course in photocatalysis. It will also be valuable to undergraduate students, graduate students, researchers, environmental consultants or advisors, environmental auditors, engineers, technicians, scientists, governmental agencies, and environmental agencies or institutions interested in photocatalysis. This book will be a guide to the understanding of the principles and of the applications of photocatalysis technology. The book is also organized in such a manner that there is always good integration of basic principles, literature review, and applications.
The main focus of this book is on the chemical reaction engineering aspects of the heterogeneous photocatalysis. Special attention is addressed to kinetic modeling, reactor irradiation, and reactor desi (more…)
