Characterization of Odorant Patterns by Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography
The volume has as primary focus multidimensional gas chromatography (heart-cutting systems, comprehensive 2D-GC systems and hybrid solutions) and its characteristic features for in depth investigation of complex fractions of odor-active volatiles. Contributions, from outstanding researchers in the field from Academia and industry, cover fundamentals aspects on the physiology of olfaction, the strategies to identify key-odorants from the bulk of detectable volatiles (sensomics), the principles of operation of multidimensional analytical platforms (i.e., comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography – GC×GC; heart-cut 2D-GC, hybrid systems), and the fundamental role of mass spectrometry ...
Advances in High Pressure Bioscience and Biotechnology II
At present, there is growing interest in high pressure bioscience and biotechnology. The activities are nearly equally distributed between fundamental research and applications. With original work on marine and terrestrial microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, deep-sea diving, food science and other industrial applications, this book covers the whole range of current high pressure bioscience. Advances in High Pressure Bioscience and Biotechnology will be welcomed by all industrial and academic researchers who are working in this field.
Chemistry and Safety of Acrylamide in Food
Reports that heat processing of foods induces the formation of acrylamide heightened interest in the chemistry, biochemistry, and safety of this compound. Acrylamide-induced neurotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity are potential human health risks based on animal studies. Because exposure of humans to acrylamide can come from both external sources and the diet, there exists a need to develop a better understanding of its formation and distribution in food and its role in human health. To contribute to this effort, experts from eight countries have presented data on the chemistry, analysis, metabolism, pharmacology, and toxicology of acrylamide. Specifically cov...
Advances in Flavours and Fragrances
The chemistry of flavours and fragrances is of great interest to academics and industrialists alike. Bringing together international contributors, this book presents the most recent research in this key area. Diverse topics such as structure-activity relationships; analytical techniques; natural products and essential oils; and organic and bioorganic chemistry are discussed, along with flavours and foods. Advances in Flavours and Fragrances: From the Sensation to the Synthesis will be a welcome addition to the bookshelves of all practitioners with a common interest in this fascinating area.
Volatile Compounds in Foods and Beverages
Collects the information available in the literature on volatile compounds in foods and beverages. This information is given in 17 chapters, each dealing with a specific product or product group. Only compounds that are major constituents and/or contribute significantly to the flavor of the relevant
The Maillard Reaction
The role of the Maillard reaction in diabetes and its complications has led to a better understanding of the importance of oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and hyperlipidemia in diabetic complications. This volume addresses all of these issues and highlights current research trends.
Food Lipids
Chemistry, Flavor, and Texture of Lipid-Containing Foods discusses the chemistry and functionality of fat in food sensory perception, and the underlying physicochemical and physiological properties and processes. Fats and oils profoundly affect our sensory perception and appreciation of foods. Fats and oils serve as a source of many flavor compounds, most of which result from oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. The nose perceives these flavor molecules by chemoreception, and the texture of foods are related to their physicochemical characteristics and structure and thus are perceived by mechanoreception. However, the structural and physicochemical characteristics of fats and oils also stro...
Drug and Alcohol Consumption as Functions of Social Structures
This work uses classical sociological theory to demonstrate how the processes of rationalization and modernization have altered why, how, and how frequently people consume drugs. It is with great pleasure that I introduce this important book on drug use. While books on the subject abound, it is always refreshing to find a scholarly text on drug use that offers a new vantage point on this complicated and ever present social phenomenon. This is such a book. James Hawdon has skillfully synthesized classic sociological thought to craft a general theory of drugs that provides us with significant insights into human drug use. He has also painstakingly gathered the existing data on drug use through...
Heteroatomic Aroma Compounds
This text offers a comprehensive discussion of how given aroma compound classes (oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur) are initially formed and subsequently analyzed in foods. The sensory significance of these classes of aroma compounds is discussed in the context of forming the desirable and undesirable character of a food product.
