The Dictionary of Flavors provides information on flavors, flavor chemistry and natural products, as well as a perspective on the related fields of regulatory, sensory, chemistry, biology, pharmacology, business, bacteriology, marketing and psychology. Flavors covered include those used in food and beverages, tobacco flavorings, alcoholic beverages, and pet and animal foods. Comparative flavor chemistry is used to evaluate and describe homologous groups of similar chemical structures. Author and flavor chemist De Rovira has collated the G.R.A.S. ingredients into chemically similar groups, where those structural relationships would dictate flavor attribute similarities, allowing predictable aroma types that can be more easily recalled and developed. Coverage in the second edition is extended to include the many significant and recent changes in the fields of flavor chemistry, food technology, and regulatory. Definitions of many items are expanded and inclusion of new items is extensive. more...

Dry-cured meat products, such as dry-cured ham and dry-fermented sausages, constitute one of the most representative traditional foods that have been produced and consumed throughout history by a diversity of cultures and in different areas of the world. These meat products, which have a high variety of flavors and textures, represent an important part of local economies, particular cultures and gastronomic heritages. Today, there is an important trend to enrich our sensory perceptions, and many consumers and meat industries around the world are getting more and more interested in dry-cured meat products. This book presents the latest developments in dry-cured meat products, from raw materials and manufactures to the final products, and includes updated scientific and technological information, especially on the safety, quality and nutritional properties of these foods. This book will be valuable as a reference work for basic/applied scientists and food technologies working in quality control and R&D in the meat industry. It will also serve as a text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. more...

Developments such as the increasing globalisation of the food industry, constant innovations in technologies and products, and changes in the susceptibility of populations to disease, have all highlighted the problem of emerging pathogens. Pathogens may be defined as emerging in a number of ways. They can be newly- discovered (e.g. through more sensitive analytical methods), linked for the first time to disease in humans, or first associated with a particular food. A pathogen may also be defined as 'emerging' when significant new strains emerge from an existing pathogen, or if the incidence of a pathogen increases. Designed for microbiologists and QA staff in the food industry, and food safety scientists working in governments and academia, this collection discusses ways of identifying emerging pathogens and includes chapters on individual pathogens, their epidemiology, methods of detection and means of control. more...

Emulsifiers are essential components of many industrial food recipes, whether they be added for the purpose of water/oil emulsification in its simplest form, for textural and organoleptic modification, for shelf life enhancement, or as complexing or stabilising agents for other components such as starch or protein. Each chapter in this volume considers one of the main chemical groups of food emulsifiers. Within each group the structures of the emulsifiers are considered, together with their modes of action. This is followed by a discussion of their production / extraction and physical characteristics, together with practical examples of their application. Appendices cross-reference emulsifier types with applications, and give E-numbers, international names, synonyms and references to analytical standards and methods. This is a book for food scientists and technologists, ingredients suppliers and quality assurance personnel. more...
