Academic Press Advances in Food and Nutrition Research: Volume 97

Advances in Food and Nutrition Research, Volume 97 provides interesting chapters written by an international board of authors. The topics covered in this book include the problematics of bacteriophages in dairy plants and methods for their monitorization and control, the obtention of antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds from sustainable sources and their application in meat and seafood products, the challenges and opportunities for vibrational spectroscopy to measure composition, and functional properties of foods, the physiological activity of bioactive peptides obtained from meat and meat by-products, the use of plant and marine-based polysaccharides for nano-encapsulation and their applications in food industry, the effects of early life stress on eating behavior and metabolism considering different factors that control appetite, the nutritional aspects of seafood and its health benefits, the use of Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott and Xanthosoma sagittifolium (L.) Schott powder as a valid option for the nutritional and technological improvement of food products, and much more. The series provides the latest advances on the identification and characterization of emerging bioactive compounds with putative health benefits, and other functional compounds of relevance in foods as well as up-to-date information on food science, including raw materials, production, processing, distribution and consumption. Review Presents the latest volume in a series that focuses in food and nutrition research From the Back Cover Advances in Food and Nutrition Research, Volume 97 provides information on nutrients in foods and how to avoid their deficiency in the diet. Topics covered include nutrigenomic modulation of inflammation and its related diseases through food and dietary bioactive compounds, preparation, structural characteristics and physiological property of resistant starch, emerging prebiotics, utilization of smart dry aging as a tool to improve meat quality, impact of nitrite reduction on the aroma of fermented meat product, strategies to limit meat wastage, DNA-based authentication of seafood, quality aspects of European virgin olive oils registered as PDOs/PGIs with emphasis on nutrient and non-nutrient bioactives, and much more. The series provides the latest advances on the identification and characterization of emerging bioactive compounds with putative health benefits, as well as up-to-date information on food science, including raw materials, production, processing, distribution and consumption.
