Request a sales quoteThe most extensive and comprehensive reference on durum wheat chemistry and technology ever available, this ambitious update to the first edition covers more diverse and interesting topics in a new expanded format. Forty-six contributors, each highly experienced and recognized as world authorities on durum wheat, provide the latest developments in scientific research and technology. All aspects of durum wheat are covered, from agronomy and the chemical composition of the grain, to the latest industrial approaches to processing durum wheat, as well as food safety and quality assurance issues. Expanded to include new topics like functional pasta, grain safety, and biotechnology, along with practical and applied information including a table of uses for specific carbohydrates, descriptions of improved laboratory techniques, and international comparisons of HACCP experiences, Durum Wheat: Chemistry and Technology, Second Edition is a must-have reference for professionals, students, and researchers inside and outside the field who want to learn about durum wheat technology and chemistry.
New and Revised Topics Include:
- Agronomy of durum wheat production
- Pasta made from non-traditional raw materials: technological and nutritional aspects
- Grain safety assurance, including impacts on durum wheat trading
- Origin and distribution of durum wheat genetic diversity in the world
- Genetics and breeding of durum wheat
- Insect and mite pests and diseases of durum wheat
- Kernel components of technological value
- Vitamins, minerals, and nutritional value of durum wheat
- Durum wheat milling
