Request a sales quoteProcessing Technologies and Food Protein Digestion covers the effect of all the applied and emerging processing technologies, both thermal and non-thermal, on the digestion of food proteins derived from egg, milk, meat, plants, cereals, fish and seafood. Written by experts from a multidisciplinary perspective, each chapter addresses the effects of processing technologies, particularly emerging technologies such as pulsed electric field, ultrasound, high-pressure, pulsed light, and ohmic heating on the digestion of food proteins. This remarkable reference is the first compilation of available literature in the protein digestibility area.
- Covers the available literature in the protein digestibility area
- Presents all the applied and emerging processing technologies, both thermal and non-thermal, on the digestion of food proteins derived from egg, milk, meat, plants, cereals, fish, or seafood
- Describes, in detail, the digestion of food in the human gut, with a particular focus on animal and vegetable protein digestion
Food science scientists and students, Meat science scientists and students, Milk technology and dairy science scientists and students, Egg science students and scientists, Plant proteins and cereal science scientists and students, Students and scientists working on different aspects of digestion, Students working on different emerging and novel food processing technologies, Human nutrition science students and scientists, Individuals interested in human nutrition and supplement industry, dairy industry, meat industry, and food industry especially in planning and designing processes for new product development
