  • Foods, Nutrients and Food Ingredients with Authorised EU Health Claims

    Volume 2
    • 1st Edition
    • Michele Sadler
    • English
    The second volume of Foods, nutrients and food ingredients with authorised EU health claims continues from Volume 1, which provided a comprehensive overview of many of the permitted health claims for foods and nutrients approved under European Regulation EC 1924/2006. This new volume discusses more of the health claims authorised to date for use in the EU. The chapters cover details of various permitted claims, such as the approved wording, conditions of use, the target group for the claims, the evidence for the claimed health benefits, and where appropriate details of other relevant legislation, consumer-related issues and future trends. The book opens with an overview of regulatory developments relating to health claims. Part One reviews authorised disease risk reduction claims and proprietary claims. The second part investigates ingredients with permitted ‘general function’ claims, with chapters examining ingredients such as red yeast rice, glucomannan and guar gum. The final section of the book explores foods and nutrients with permitted health claims, including chapters on authorised EU health claims for prunes, foods with low or reduced sodium or saturated fatty acids, and claims for essential and long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

  • Magnetic Nano- and Microwires

    Design, Synthesis, Properties and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Manuel Vázquez
    • English
    Magnetic nanowires and microwires are key tools in the development ofenhanced devices for information technology (memory and data processing) andsensing. Offering the combined characteristics of high density, high speed, andnon-volatility, they facilitate reliable control of the motion of magnetic domainwalls; a key requirement for the development of novel classes of logic and storagedevices. Part One introduces the design and synthesis of magnetic nanowires andmicrowires, reviewing the growth and processing of nanowires and nanowireheterostruct... using such methods as sol-gel and electrodepositioncom... focused-electron/ion... deposition, chemicalvapour transport, quenching and drawing and magnetic interactions. Magneticand transport properties, alongside domain walls, in nano- and microwiresare then explored in Part Two, before Part Three goes on to explore a widerange of applications for magnetic nano- and microwire devices, includingmemory, microwave and electrochemical applications, in addition to thermalspin polarization and configuration, magnetocalorific effects and Bloch pointdynamics.
