Development of Gluten-Free Pasta summarizes current progress in the development of gluten-free (GF) products, focusing particularly on pasta products. Presented in 11 chapters, the book focuses on the role of prebiotic fiber, hydrocolloids, fruit and vegetable by-product pomace and the physical, microstructural, sensory, and nutritional properties of the gluten-free pasta. The science of gluten intolerance is explained as well, with all relevant literature gathered and summarized in one place. Hence, this book lays a very solid foundation for the development of GF pasta which can be exploited as an essential therapeutic tool in the prevention of celiac disease. This comprehensive reference, written by world renowned scientists who elaborate on the study of different selected additives of plant origin, provides immense assistance in the field of research as many areas are still unexplored in the field of cereal science & technology.

Handbook of Plant Food Phytochemicals

Phytochemicals are plant-derived chemicals which may bestow health benefits when consumed, whether medicinally or as part of a balanced diet. Given that plant foods are a major component of most diets worldwide, it is unsurprising that these foods represent the greatest source of phytochemicals for most people. Yet it is only relatively recently that due recognition has been given to the importance of phytochemicals in maintaining our health. New evidence for the role of specific plant food phytochemicals in protecting against the onset of diseases such as cancers and heart disease is continually being put forward. The increasing awareness of consumers of the link between diet and health has exponentially increased the number of scientific studies into the biological effects of these substances.

The Handbook of Plant Food Phytochemicals provides a comprehensive overview of the occurrence, significance and factors affecting phytochemicals in plant foods. A key objective of the book is to critically evaluate these aspects. Evaluation of the evidence for and against the quantifiable health benefits being imparted is expressed in terms of the reduction in the risk of disease conferred through the consumption of foods that are rich in phytochemicals.

With world-leading editors and contributors, the Handbook of Plant Food Phytochemicals is an invaluable, cutting-edge resource for food scientists, nutritionists and plant biochemists. It covers the processing techniques aimed at the production of phytochemical-rich foods which can have a role in disease prevention, making it ideal for both the food industry and those who are researching the health benefits of particular foods. Lecturers and advanced students will find it a helpful and readable guide to a constantly expanding subject area.
