Academic Press Food Proteomics: Technological Advances, Current Applications and Future Perspectives

Food Proteomics: Technological Advances, Current Applications and Future Perspectives addresses many of the food proteomic issues in the industry today. Food proteomics continues to be an emerging field, becoming increasingly important in product innovation, food safety, food quality and health. The book is divided into sections describing the role of proteomics in the field of food science, conceptual background methodological aspects, and bioinformatic tools employed in the field. The book describes proteomic studies collected from the most relevant animal and vegetables species in food production and discusses important food challenges from a proteomic point-of-view. This is an essential and practical reference that provides analytical tools to help introduce technical innovations in the food industry with the latest scientific information useful and accessible to new researchers in the field as well as advanced. Includes precise proteomic information on a specific category Provides proteomic studies of the most common vegetable and animal species Presents proteomic methodologies, including bioinformatics for effective analysis in food science Discusses food challenges such as allergens, authentication and food safety
