Sustainably Reducing Food Waste and Ensuring Food Security brings together academic professors, scientists, and policymakers from around the globe to address how to reduce food waste and increase access to nutritious food for all. By addressing the impact of waste-to-energy technologies, plant-based diets, alternative protein sources, and emerging technologies such as AI and blockchain, the authors will provide practical guidance for anyone interested in the sustainability of the global food system and the entire food supply chain, from production to consumption.This book is divided into five sections. Section one introduces the concept of sustainable foods systems including the importance and benefits, Section two explores the economic, environmental and social impacts of understanding food waste, Section three provides solutions for food waste reduction, Section four explores sustainable agriculture and alternative food sources, and Section five covers the role of technology, data analytics, policy, and education and outreach in building a sustainable food system.

Alternative Dairy Products and Technologies

1st Edition
June 1, 2025
Harjinder Singh + 1 more
English

Dairy alternative products have experienced exceptional growth over the past decade, driven by growing consumer awareness of the environmental impacts of dairy farming and ethical concerns around animal welfare. Plant-based milks, yogurts, cheeses, and ice cream have a generally lower carbon footprint, contain no lactose, are low in saturated fat and cholesterol and often contain fibre. However, the current plant-based dairy alternatives often lack many of the micronutrients found in cow milk. New biotechnological approaches to produce milk components have the potential to create nutritionally similar products to their animal counterparts, yet there are many challenges in scaling-up these technologies. Alternative Dairy Products and Technologies comprehensively covers the available products on the market, including processing, sensory qualities, and nutritional value in comparison to dairy milk. It also looks ahead to new and emerging biotechnologies, such as molecular farming and precision fermentation, that promise to create near-identical products to animal derived dairy without ever milking a cow. Bringing together key issues of environmental sustainability, human nutrition, biotechnology, and product development, Alternative Dairy Products and Technologies is an interdisciplinary reference written and edited by a global team of experts from a variety of fields, including several internationally recognized and renowned scientists. The book will be of significant value to academics, scientists and students, as currently this is a very hot topic in the food science area. Additionally, this book will be a great resource for the food industry and many start-up companies currently working on developing innovative alternative proteins and dairy products.

Sleep and Cancer

1st Edition

Maria Paola Mogavero + 3 more
English

Sleep and Cancer: A New Frontier of Precision Medicine compiles novel information on interactions between sleep and cancer. Based on studies of sleep and its influence in oncology, it expands knowledge on how to improve cancer treatments, as well as prognosis and survival of cancer patients. It highlights how prevention and treatment of sleep disturbances in clinical cancer practice helps prevent the onset of tumors and their comorbidities both short- and long-term. It analyzes how sleep disorder treatment improves the response to antitumor therapy in the long term. Sleep and Cancer: A New Frontier of Precision Medicine presents procedures regarding cognitive-behavioral therapy of sleep disorders that are overlooked in the oncological field. It suggests new therapeutic approaches in oncology, based on the knowledge of sleep mechanisms, such as chronotherapy, use of melatonin as an adjuvant in chemo- and radiotherapy, and orexinergic drugs.

Medications for Older Persons

1st Edition

Roger Thomas
English

“Medications for Older Persons: Recommendations, Harms, Evidence” makes available in one complete resource the benefits of medications for older persons, harms if they are prescribed “potentially inappropriate medications” or have “potential prescribing omissions, and how many adverse events, rehospitalizations, and deaths are attributable to these medications. The book opens with a summary of medications that most benefit older patients, followed by the impact of older persons’ alcohol consumption, self-medication, and medication list accuracy and how these factors correlate to health outcomes. The remainder of the book is devoted to the assessment of medication groups focusing on Numbers Needed to Treat, Numbers Needed to Harm, and characteristics and numbers of adverse events. Medication groups covered include cardiovascular, central nervous system, renal, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, respiratory, endocrine, pain, and fall prevention. This text benefits researchers by providing a single source to identify groups of medications which require improvement in their benefit/harm profiles. Concurrently, it provides medications for each condition to guide older persons, their families, their physicians, pharmaceutical researchers, policy makers, and ministries of health in the health and well-being of the aging population.

English

Tequila is a product with a growing global market, and researchers are interested in improving its cultivation, production, sustainability, and sensory qualities. By definition, tequila must be produced in one of five authorized states in Mexico in order to be called tequila, but this popular spirit is manufactured, bought, and sold all over the world. The Science of Tequila is the first technical scientific book published in English thoroughly covering Tequila production. The book will begin by contextualizing the product with historical, social, and cultural information. It will then cover the cultivation of the Agave tequilana plant, the stages of the tequila production process, and characterization of the final product. Finally, the management of tequila by-products will be covered, including their sustainable uses and potential as a biofuel. The Science of Tequila will be primarily of interest to researchers in industry and academia, especially beverage scientists interested in distillation and fermentation of alcoholic beverages, plant scientists interested in the agave plant, and engineers involved in the production process of alcoholic beverages, biorefinery, vinasses, and waste treatment. R&D departments at beverage companies interested in producing tequila or mezcal will also benefit from this reference.
