Review quotes

"This book presents a good overview of novel food ingredients, the role of new processing technologies and healthy products, customised for targeted populations. The chapters in this book are divided into three main areas of interest and cover ingredients and their interactions, novel processing techniques and technologies, and new trends in food formulation. I would strongly recommend this book to students, academics, researchers, food ingredient suppliers and food technologists involved in NPD. This book covers a vast array of topics relevant to the future of food and how mankind redesigns the global food system. The intertwined topics of sustainable food production, food and nutrition security and producing high-quality, safe foods are discussed with respect to the factors that present themselves as hurdles to the aforementioned. This book comprises over 40 chapters and thus it is difficult to go into details, but the contents have been carefully compiled to give a very comprehensive overview of the current food system and possible future scenarios to address these global issues.

Food processors require tools to navigate the multitude of options available in terms of new ingredients, new processing technologies and the legislative and regulatory requirements. This book presents a good overview of novel food ingredients, the role of new processing technologies and healthy products, customised for targeted populations. The chapters in this book are divided into three main areas of interest and cover ingredients and their interactions, novel processing techniques and technologies, and new trends in food formulation....I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in how we feed the world."—FST Magazine
