Tawang, Monpas and Tibetan Buddhism in Transition
This book presents various facets of border life in the strategic eastern sector of the India-China frontier, i.e. the Monpas of Tawang. It addresses the history of the Monpas’ transnational cultural and religious interaction. The respective chapters cover diverse topics such as culture, religion, the environment, border management, and social activism. The book offers a compelling analysis of Mon identity, their lifestyles in transition, and the reach of development politics in the Tawang borderland. It maximizes the reader's insights into development works in borderlands. This book is an essential guide for students, scholars, activists, policy makers, and anyone interested in learning about this unique geographical borderland of Monpa.
Non-Thermal Processing Technologies for the Fruit and Vegetable Industry
Fruits and vegetables rapidly spoil due to growth of microorganisms, which further render them unsafe for human consumption. The traditional methods of food preservation, which involves drying, canning, salting, curing, and chemical preservation, can significantly affect food quality by diminishing nutrients during heat processing. This can alter the texture of the products, leave chemical residues in the final processed products, which in turn has greater impact over consumers' safety and health concerns. To combat this problem, various current non-thermal food processing techniques can be employed in fruit and vegetable processing industries to enhance consumer satisfaction for delivering ...
Honey Bees, Beekeeping and Bee Products
Honey bees are social insects; they live together in large, well-organized family groups comprising three castes: queen (fertile female), workers (sterile females) and drones (males). During honey flow season, there is a considerable increase in the foraging activity of the workers and in the rate of egg laying by the queen. Sex determination in honey bees involves a multi-allelic locus, such that homozygotes develop as males and heterozygotes as females, whereas diet quality influences the caste determination in honey bees. Like all living organisms, honey bees can be infested with diseases and pests. Some of these are more deleterious to bee colonies than others, but it is important for th...
Protein Engineering and Design
Experimental protein engineering and computational protein design are broad but complementary strategies for developing proteins with altered or novel structural properties and biological functions. By describing cutting-edge advances in both of these fields, Protein Engineering and Design aims to cultivate a synergistic approach to protein science
Electrostatics
In this book, the authors provide state-of-the-art research studies on electrostatic principles or include the electrostatic phenomena as an important factor. The chapters cover diverse subjects, such as biotechnology, bioengineering, actuation of MEMS, measurement and nanoelectronics. Hopefully, the interested readers will benefit from the book in their studies. It is probable that the presented studies will lead the researchers to develop new ideas to conduct their research.
Handbook on Spray Drying Applications for Food Industries
Spray drying is a mechanical process by which materials in liquid form can be converted into solid form such as powders. It is a rapid, continuous, cost-effective, reproducible and scalable process for producing dry powders from a fluid material by atomization through an atomizer into a hot drying gas medium, usually air. The Handbook on Spray Drying Applications for Food Industries deals with recent techniques adopted in spray drying systems for drying a vast array of food products, novel and emerging tools used for spray drying of antioxidant rich products, optimized conditions used for extraction and production of herbal powders by using spray drying techniques, and problems encountered d...
Gandhi's Critics
The book is a definitive account of Gandhi’s major critics. It presents a detailed and comprehensive account of each critic, assesses their criticisms of Gandhi and underlines the significance and achievements of Gandhi against the backdrop of the critiques – from contemporaries like the Nehrus (Motilal and Jawaharlal), Tagore, Churchill, Jinnah, Periyar, Savarkar, Ambedkar, Subhas Bose, the Marxists (from the mid-1920s until 1947 and post-independence), P.C. Ray, Visvesvaraya and Saha, to later critics like Orwell, Alinsky, Mandela, King and critics from Africa. The volume will be of immense importance to scholars and students of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in political science and South Asian studies. It will also be of interest to general readers interested in history and politics.
Non-Thermal Processing Technologies for the Grain Industry
Food can rapidly spoil due to growth of microorganisms, and traditional methods of food preservation such as drying, canning, salting, curing, and chemical preservation can affect the quality of the food. Nowadays, various non-thermal processing techniques can be employed in grain processing industries to combat this. They include pulsed electric field processing, high pressure processing, ultrasonic processing, cold plasma processing, and more. Such techniques will satisfy consumer demand for delivering wholesome food products to the market. Non-Thermal Processing Technologies for the Grain Industry addresses these many new non-thermal food processing techniques that are used during grain p...
Medicinal Fruits of the Middle East
Medicinal plants, including fruits, contain bioactive components which present health benefits for humans. There are several medicinal fruits including jack fruit, pomegranate, date palm, papaya, and lemons grown commercially in countries throughout the Middle East. Medicinal Fruits of the Middle East explores this subject by featuring information on bioactive properties, extraction techniques, natural colorants, nutraceutical preparations, and traditional food preparations of these unique, medicinal fruits. A volume in the Nutraceuticals: Basic Research/Clinical Applications series, Medicinal Fruits of the Middle East presents a wealth of knowledge from chapter authors versed with the local traditions and expert knowledge of these fruits. It is a key text for food scientists, engineers and nutritionists, as well as researchers, academicians, and those who work in the functional foods and nutraceuticals industry.
Antioxidants in Fruits: Properties and Health Benefits
This book provides a comprehensive review of the antioxidant value of widely consumed fruits. Each chapter covers the botanical description, nutritional & health properties of these popular fruits. Fruits are one of the most important indicators of dietary quality and offer protective effects against several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and various types of cancer. In order to effectively promote fruit consumption, it is necessary to know and understand the components of fruits. In addition to underscoring the importance of fruit consumption’s effects on human diet, the book addresses the characterization of the chemical compounds that are responsible for the antioxidant proprieties of various fruits. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to graduate and post-graduate students, research scholars, academics, pomologists and agricultural scientists alike. Those working in various fruit processing industries and other horticultural departments will also find the comprehensive information relevant to their work.
