Woodhead Publishing Dairy-Derived Ingredients: Food and Nutraceutical Uses (Woodhead Publishing Series in Food Science, Technology and Nutrition)

Advances in technologies for the extraction and modification of valuable milk components have opened up new opportunities for the food and nutraceutical industries. New applications for dairy ingredients are also being found. Dairy-derived ingredients reviews the latest developments in these dynamic areas. The first part covers modern approaches to the separation of dairy components and manufacture of dairy ingredients. The second part focuses on the biological functionality of dairy components and their nutraceutical applications. The final part of the book addresses the technological functionality of dairy components and their applications in food and non-food products. Key Features: summarises modern approaches to the separation of dairy components and the manufacture of dairy ingredients; assesses advances in both the biological and technological functionality of dairy components; examines the application of dairy components in both food and non-food products; reviews the latest research in this dynamic area of development Contents: Part 1 Modern approaches to the separation of dairy components and manufacture of dairy ingredients: Novel approaches for the separation of dairy components and manufacture of dairy ingredients; Understanding the factors affecting spray-dried dairy powder properties and behaviour; Production and enrichment of bioactive peptides derived from milk proteins; Processing means for milkfat fractionation and production of functional compounds; Modern approaches to lactose production.
