THE COMPLETE MAIZE MEAL COOKING ENCYCLOPEDIA: Including the Staple International Strategic Policy (ARIANE CRAFTS COOKING ENCYCLOPEDIAS)

Learn how to make soluble coffee, stock cubes, bread, alcoholic drinks, pasta, noodles, bread and much more all with maize ( corn ) flour! You can use the industrial recipes or the homemade recipes, so either you are an entrepreneur or a home maker, this is the money making machine replete with history, images and instructions to change your life and your loved ones lives for the better! The Encyclopedia has an extensive academic bibliography with a varied roll of sources such as Academic Journals, articles and books featuring the most recent and accurate Food Technology advances. This book is highly accessible to all sections of the reading public. This book has specific chapters for Gender Economy, Baby Food, Maize Alcoholic Drinks, Coffee and Hot Drinks, Pasta, Noodles and Bread, Maize Meal Ice creams, Traditional Recipes of the African Continent, Additives and Seasoning and much more! This encyclopedia directly confronts the G20's call for sustainable development and zero hunger (SDG 2). Drawing from the precedent of the "First Soya Cooking Encyclopaedia," this new work shifts focus to the structural transformation and nutritional fortification of maize, addressing its intrinsic protein deficit and the historical failure to adopt crucial processing techniques like nixtamalisation. The book details innovative recipes and methodologies, leveraging advanced food science to bridge critical value and nutritional gaps for both industrial and household users. Key innovations include: Protein Structure Engineering: Protocols for creating shelf-stable, high-protein meat analogues from composite maize-legume blends, using both high-moisture extrusion for Texturized Vegetable Protein (TVP) chunks and protein co-precipitation for maize tofu analogues. This empowers local Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to scale nutritious food production. Combating Child Malnutrition: Technical solutions, such as germination (malting) and controlled fermentation, enzymatically break down starch in traditional maize porridges, yielding low-viscosity, high-energy-density complementary foods for infants. Domestic Efficiency: Methods for transferring industrial quality control to the home, including cryo-stable flavour concentrates using pregelatinized starch and hydrocolloids for long-term stability and guaranteed nutritional density. This directly addresses time poverty, especially for women who are primary custodians of household food security. Authored by a writer with extensive experience in women's rights and sustainability, and a single mother herself, Ariane Denise Brito’s work is anchored in a profound understanding of household vulnerability. The cryo-stable concentrates and instant, nutrient-dense ingredients are ethical engineering solutions, providing guaranteed nutrient return for minimal maternal labour and ensuring consistent, precise diets for children, including those with specialist needs. Furthermore, the encyclopedia outlines a strategic impact for a circular bioeconomy, a core G20 goal. Advanced processing blueprints, from TVP chunks to high-value bio-based products derived from maize waste streams (like biopolymers from husks and cobs, or Distillers’ Dried Grains with Solubles from alcohol production for animal feed), generate multiple revenue streams, reduce environmental impact, and enhance the overall economic resilience of the maize value chain. This encyclopaedia is a vital contribution to establishing a new technical and ethical contract, mandating sustainable, resilient, and equitable food systems for every industry and every household, regardless of their vulnerability.
