Advances in Food Rheology and Its Applications: Development in Food Rheology, Second Edition presents the latest advances in the measurement and application of food rheology, one of the most important tools for food companies when characterizing ingredients and final products, and a predictor of product performance and consumer acceptance. This second edition provides coverage of new rheological measurement techniques, including ultrasonic measurements of rheological properties of food and NMR approach, and precision in data handling, including coverage of mathematical modeling of rheological properties. As the range of food products has also broadened as a result of consumer demands and preference, this second edition includes a series of new chapters on dairy and plant-based foods. The amalgamation between food texture and sensory attributes will also be addressed. In addition, coverage of the correlation between rheological behavior and modeling of the fluid in a human stomach and food digestion will be assessed. A special focus has given on rheology of gel systems, including, food hydrogels, bigel and organogels. Written for food scientists, food technologists, sensory scientists, and others working in academia and industry, Advances in Food Rheology and Its Applications: Development in Food Rheology, Second Edition will be a welcomed and updated reference.

New Aspects of Meat Quality, Second Edition continues to be the leading source of scientific information for what constitutes meat quality for consumers, marketers and producers in the 21st century. The book includes traditional measures of meat quality such as texture, water holding, color, flavor/aroma, safety/microbiology and processing characteristics as well as quality assurance schemes, organic/free range, ethical meat production, and the desirability of genetically modified organisms, amongst others. Users will find comprehensive coverage on developments in our understanding of how muscle structure affects the eating qualities of cooked meat, along with techniques for measuring, predicting and producing meat quality. In addition, the book covers how these new techniques help us minimize variability in eating quality and/or maximize value. The book's final section identifies the current qualities of consumer and public perceptions and what is sustainable, ethical, desirable and healthy in meat production and consumption.

Food Microstructure and Its Relationship with Quality and Stability is a comprehensive overview of the effects that the properties of the underlying structures of food have on its perceived quality to the consumer. The book's first section consists of chapters outlining the fundamentals of food microstructure, food composition, molecular mobility of various food constituents, and their relationships with food quality and stability. The role of various processing technologies in the production of specific microstructures for enhanced quality and stability is outlined. The second part of the book consists of various chapters devoted to microstructures, constituents and their relationship with quality, functionality, and stability of selected foods, for example, food hydrocolloids, frozen seafood, dried foods, extruded products, and dietary fibers. This information is of paramount importance for both academic researchers in the areas of food quality, preservation, and stability, as well as for food developers and processors.

New Aspects of Meat Quality: From Genes to Ethics provides a reference source that covers what constitutes meat quality in the minds of consumers, marketers, and producers in the 21st century, using the same scientific authority as texts on traditional meat quality values. Traditional measures in meat quality, such as texture, waterholding, color, flavor/aroma, safety/microbiology, and processing characteristics are still important, however, additional quality attributes now have huge importance in the purchasing intentions of consumers in many countries. These include, amongst others, animal welfare, the impacts of meat on human health, quality assurance schemes, organic/free range, ethical meat production, and the desirability of genetically modified organisms. The book is divided into three main sections, with the first section covering the developments in our understanding of how muscle structure affects the eating qualities of cooked meat. The second section highlights recently developed techniques for measuring, predicting, and producing meat quality, and how these new techniques help us minimize variability in eating quality and/or maximize value. The final section identifies the current qualities of consumer and public perceptions, and what is sustainable, ethical, desirable, and healthy in meat production and consumption.

Advances in Food Rheology and Its Applications presents the latest advances in the measurement and application of food rheology, one of the most important tools for food companies when characterizing ingredients and final products, and a predictor of product performance and consumer acceptance. Split into two main focuses, the book gives in-depth analysis of the general advances in the field, with coverage of the relationship between food microstructure and rheology, the use of tribology in the study of oral processing, the use of large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) measurement and Fourier-transform rheology in food, and the influence of fibers and particle size distribution on food rheology, as well as many other advances. Written by a leading international team of authors, the book provides an in-depth and state-of-the-art coverage of this essential topic on the consumer acceptance of food.

Handbook on Natural Pigments: Industrial Applications for Improving Food Colour is unique in its approach to the improvement of food colors. The book is written with industrial applications in mind, with each chapter focusing on a color solution for a specific commodity that will provide food scientists with a one-stop, comprehensive reference on how to improve the color of a particular food product. The first section of the book looks at the legal frameworks which underpin natural food colorings, also investigating the consumer expectations of food color. The second section of the book focuses on specific industrial applications of natural colorants with chapters covering the use of natural colorants in aqueous food products, cereal-based foods, and meat products, amongst many other topics. The various pigments which can be used to effectively color these commodities are presented with information on safety and testing included throughout. The final section in the book looks at recent developments and future perspectives in natural food colorings. There are chapters which cover the health benefits of natural pigments, the use of novel fruits and vegetables in pigments, and stable natural solutions for blue colorings.
