Probiotic and Prebiotics in Foods: Challenges, Innovations, and Advances reviews recent advances, innovations, and challenges in probiotics/prebiotics in food and beverages. The book presents up-to-date, novel and extensive information regarding recent research and applications in probiotics and prebiotics in food. Sections address probiotics, prebiotics, paraprobiotics and postbiotics, probiotics, prebiotics and bucal health, probiotics, prebiotics and obesity, probiotics, prebiotics and sleep quality, in vitro and in vivo assays for selection of probiotics, probiotics and mycotoxins, edible films added to probiotic and prebiotics, predictive microbiology applied to development of probiotic foods, non-bovine milk products as probiotic and prebiotic foods, emerging technologies, and much more.

Written for food scientists, nutritionists, health professionals, food product developers, microbiologists, those working in food safety, and graduate students and researchers working in academia, this book is a welcomed resource on the topics discussed.

Dairy Foods: Processing, Quality, and Analytical Techniques provides comprehensive knowledge on the different factors involved in the development and safety precautions behind dairy foods, including special references to both theoretical and practical aspects. The book presents relevant information about the quality of dairy foods, including raw milk quality, predictive microbiology and risk analysis, food defense and food fraud. In addition, it looks into environmental aspects and consumer perception and goes on to cover methods and practices to process dairy products and analytical techniques behind dairy product development. Techniques explored include time domain magnetic resonance, thermal analysis and chemometric methods.

This will be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the dairy industry, as well as students in dairy science courses.

This volume details state-of-the-art protocols on manufacturing functional probiotic foods and beverages. Chapters guide readers through processing procedures, probiotic strains, probiotic cheese, probiotic fermented milk, probiotic ice cream manufacturing, probiotic butter, plant-based beverages, probiotic plant-based cheeses, probiotic-fermented vegetables, Kombucha, probiotic beer, Friolano-type sausage, delivery of probiotics through bakery goods, synbiotic chocolate, methods on encapsulation of probiotics, paraprobiotics, and protocols for food products with psychobiotic potential. Written in the format of the Methods and Protocols in Food Science series, chapters list necessary materials and methods for readily reproducible protocols.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Probiotic Foods and Beverages: Technologies and Protocols aims to be a comprehensibly guide with well-established protocols and procedures.

This volume aims to introduce the broad field of protocols that can be used for dairy foods and beverages production. Written in the format of the Methods and Protocols in Food Science series, the chapters include an introduction to the respective topic, list necessary materials and reagents, detail well-established and validated methods for readily reproducible laboratory protocols and contain notes on how to avoid or solve typical problems.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Dairy Foods Processing aims to provide sufficient guidance and a basic understanding of the tools, materials, and supplies needed to get started in this important food discipline.
