Recent developments in nanoparticle and microparticle delivery systems are revolutionizing delivery systems in the food industry. These developments have the potential to solve many of the technical challenges involved in creating encapsulation, protection, and delivery of active ingredients, such as colors, flavors, preservatives, vitamins, minerals, and nutraceuticals. Nanoparticle- and Microparticle-based Delivery Systems: Encapsulation, Protection and Release of Active Compounds explores various types of colloidal delivery systems available for encapsulating active ingredients, highlighting their relative advantages and limitations and their use. Written by an international authority known for his clear and rigorous technical writing style, this book discusses the numerous kinds of active ingredients available and the issues associated with their encapsulation, protection, and delivery. The author takes a traditional colloid science approach and emphasizes the practical aspects of formulation of particulate- and emulsion-based delivery systems with food applications. He then covers the physicochemical and mechanical methods available for manufacturing colloidal particles, highlighting the importance of designing particles for specific applications. The book includes chapters devoted specifically to the three major types of colloidal delivery systems available for encapsulating active ingredients in the food industry: surfactant-based, emulsion-based, and biopolymer-based. It then reviews the analytical tools available for characterizing the properties of colloidal delivery systems, presents the mathematical models for describing their properties, and highlights the factors to consider when selecting an appropriate delivery system for a particular application backed up by specific case studies.Based on insight from the author’s own experience, the book describes why delivery systems are needed, the important factors to consider when designing them, methods of characterizing them, and specific examples of the range of food-grade delivery systems available. It gives you the necessary knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of developments within the current research literature in this rapidly growing field and the confidence to perform reliable experimental investigations according to modern international standards.

Continuing the mission of the first two editions, Food Emulsions: Principles, Practices, and Techniques, Third Edition covers the fundamentals of emulsion science and demonstrates how this knowledge can be applied to control the appearance, stability, and texture of emulsion-based foods. Initially developed to fill the need for a single resource covering all areas of food emulsion formation, stability, characterization, and application, the first two editions raised the bar for references in this field. This third edition is poised to do the same.See What’s New in the Third Edition: New chapters have been added on Emulsion-Based Delivery Systems and the Gastrointestinal Fate of EmulsionsAll chapters have been revised and updated, including new methods of fabricating and characterizing emulsionsNew figures have been included, and previous ones have been redrawnAs in previous editions, the main focus of this book is on presenting the fundamental principles of emulsion science and technology that underlie all types of emulsion-based food products. It highlights practical applications and provides an overview of modern areas of research. Figures and diagrams add emphasis to important concepts and present the underlying theory in a clear and approachable manner. These features and more give you a firm grounding in basic principles that will aid in the rational design of new products, the improvement of existing products, and the more rapid solution of processing problems.

Cutaneous synthesis from sun exposure (specifically ultraviolet B light) is the major contributor to human vitamin D status, the rest of our daily requirement is fulfilled through dietary sources. Today, as vitamin D deficiency is increasing globally, we are looking for more efficient and effective ways to get bioavailable vitamin D into our diet. Its poor water solubility, susceptibility to environmental factors such as pH, temperature, ionic strength, humidity and photodegradation pose several challenges while addressing its deficiency through oral and dietary delivery. Diet diversification, biofortification, supplementation and food fortification are feasible strategies to address this. Also important to consider is loss during processing and storage, as well as interactions with other components of the food matrix into which vitamin D is incorporated. All these factors will result in a reduction in its bioavailability.This book provides a complete reference on vitamin D with respect to its role in human health; factors affecting its synthesis and stability; its deficiency and factors influencing that deficiency around the world; physicochemical challenges and strategies adopted to address the deficiency; its bioavailability in supplements as well as food; experience, opportunities and challenges in food fortification; the role of nanotechnology in improving its bioavailability; nano-delivery systems and encapsulation techniques that have been adopted so far; and experience and challenges in its fortification using microencapsulation techniques.Providing a complete view on fortification and encapsulation, this book appeals to food developers and processors, nutritionists, food technologists and research scientists. It may also help public health organisations looking at where food fortification can be adopted to decrease deficiencies.

The aim of this book is to highlight the many exciting advances being made in the science of foods, and to show their application for solving important problems related to the modern food supply, such as tackling chronic diseases, feeding a global population, reducing food waste, and creating healthier and tastier foods.

The creation of plant-based foods is one of the most rapidly advancing areas in the modern food industry.

The creation of plant-based foods is one of the most rapidly advancing areas in the modern food industry. Many consumers are adopting more plant-based foods in their diets because of concerns about global warming and its devastating impacts on the environment and biodiversity. In addition, consumers are adopting plant-based diets for ethical and health reasons. As a result, many food companies are developing plant-based analogs of animal-based foods like dairy, egg, meat, and seafood products. This is extremely challenging because of the complex structure and composition of these animal-based foods.Next-Generation Plant-based Foods: Design, Production and Properties presents the science and technology behind the design, production, and utilization of plant-based foods. Readers will find a review of ingredients, processing operations, nutrition, quality attributes, and specific plant-based food categories such as milk and dairy products, egg and egg products, meat and seafood products, providing the fundamental knowledge required to create the next generation of healthier and more sustainable plant-based food alternatives.

I then discuss some of the new technologies that are being developed to create alternatives to meat, including plant-based meat, cultured (lab-grown) meat, microbial meat, and insect meat.
