Woodhead Publishing Oxidation in Foods and Beverages and Antioxidant Applications: Volume 2: Management in Different Industry Sectors (Woodhead Publishing Series in Food Science, Technology and Nutrition)

Product Description Oxidative rancidity is a major cause of food quality deterioration, leading to the formation of undesirable off-flavours as well as unhealthful compounds. The two volumes of Oxidation in foods and beverages and antioxidant applications review food quality deterioration due to oxidation and methods for its control. Volume 2 concentrates on oxidation and its management in different industry sectors. Part 1 discusses animal products, with chapters on the oxidation and protection of red meat, poultry, fish and dairy products. Part 2 reviews oxidation in plant-based foods and beverages, including edible oils, wine and fried products. Final chapters examine encapsulation to inhibit lipid oxidation and antioxidant active packaging and edible films. Key Features: reviews problems associated with oxidation and its management in different industry sectors; examines animal products, with chapters on the oxidation and protection of red meat, poultry and fish; discusses oxidation of fish oils and foods enriched with omega-3 and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Contents: Part 1 Oxidation in animal products: Oxidation and protection of red meat; Oxidation and protection of poultry and eggs; Oxidation and protection of fish; Oxidation and protection of milk and dairy products; Oxidation of fish oils and foods enriched with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
