Emulsifiers and surfactants, as multifunctional food additives, are considered an integral part of the formulations of bakery, confectionery, and chocolate products to assist in blending and emulsifying ingredients, enhance the action of the shortening, batter stabilization, improve aeration or creaming texture, extend the shelf-life extension, control fat crystallization, and fat bloom, and moderate the polymorphic transformation. There is no comprehensive book on using emulsifiers in bakery, confectionery, and chocolate products in the food industry. This book enables engineers to apply appropriate strategies and achieve the desired properties in bakery, confectionery, and chocolate products through emulsifier and surfactant applications.Key Features:Presents emulsifier and surfactant applications for bakery, confectionery, and chocolate productsExplains how emulsifiers and surfactants are an integral part of the formulations of bakery, confectionery, and chocolate productsDiscusses international standards and legislation for application and labelling of emulsifiers and surfactants

A guide to the use of essential oils in food, including information on their composition, extraction methods, and their antioxidant and antimicrobial applicationsConsumers’ food preferences are moving away from synthetic additives and preservatives and there is an increase demand for convenient packaged foods with long shelf lives. The use of essential oils fills the need for more natural preservativesto extend the shelf-life and maintaining the safety of foods. Essential Oils in Food Processing offers researchers in food science a guide to the chemistry, safety and applications of these easily accessible and eco-friendly substances.The text offers a review of essential oils components, history, source and their application in foods and explores common and new extraction methods of essential oils from herbs and spices. The authors show how to determine the chemical composition of essential oils as well as an explanation of the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of these oils in foods. This resource also delves into the effect of essential oils on food flavor and explores the interaction of essential oils and food components. Essential Oils in Food Processing offers a: Handbook of the use of essential oils in food, including their composition, extraction methods and their antioxidant and antimicrobial applicationsGuide that shows how essential oils can be used to extend the shelf life of food products whilst meeting consumer demand for “natural” productsReview of the use of essential oils as natural flavour ingredientsSummary of relevant food regulations as pertaining to essential oilsAcademic researchers in food science, R&D scientists, and educators and advanced students in food science and nutrition can tap into the most recent findings and basic understanding of the chemistry, application, and safe us of essential oils in food processing.

Natural gums are polysaccharides consisting of multiple sugar units linked together via glycosidic linkages. Most natural gums reveal appropriate safety for oral consumption in the form of food additives or drug carriers. Challenges related to the utilization of natural polysaccharides, however, include uncontrolled rates of hydration, pH dependent solubility, viscosity reduction during storage, and weak interfacial properties. Modification provides an efficient route for not only removing such drawbacks but also improving physicochemical properties, such as solubility, viscosity and swelling index, and introducing new properties for varied applications.This book provides a comprehensive review of the various modifications on gums to make them suitable for food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. The book is divided in four parts: an introduction to natural gums followed by in-depth coverage of chemical modification, physical modification, and enzymatic modification of gums. Eachchapter includes reaction mechanisms, physicochemical properties, rheological properties, interfacial properties, applications and future perspectives.Presenting a succinct account on gum modification from a practical point of view, this book is a helpful reference for academic and industrial scientists and engineers in food technology, materials chemistry, pharmaceuticals, chemical, industrial, and applied engineering, biochemistry, and biopolymers.
