Beverages are a convenient and versatile product that may either serve to fulfill consumers’ needs for hydration or as a pleasant liquor. Among the sensory attributes of beverages that drive consumer acceptability is aroma, directly influenced by the quantity and type of volatile compounds contained inside them. Volatile Compounds Formation in Specialty Beverages contains remarkable information about volatile compounds of specialty beverages, addressing aspects involved from production processes to biochemical pathways. Divided in two sections, this book answers such key-questions as like how different classes of volatile compounds affect the specialty beverage sensory profile; furthermore, the section on distilled beverages brings supplies information on the contribution of maturation to the beverage volatile profile.Key Features: Provides information on the contribution of each class of volatile compounds to the beverages’ aroma Describes the biochemical pathways involved in the volatile compounds generation Covers both traditional and exotic, fermented, and distilled beverages Shows how the production process affects the volatile compounds formationOrganized by experienced editors and written by authors from around the world, this book describes the most important aspects of volatile compounds formation in traditional beverages like whisky and sparkling wine, as well as in exotic beverages like cachaça and kombucha. It is a unique source for food scientists, chemists, chemical engineers and other professionals interested in learning about volatile compounds formation in fermented and distilled beverages.

Dehydration of fruits is a massive operation amounting to tens of billions of dollars’ worth in the global market. The enormous variety of fruits grown around the world and the wide range of products made therefrom make this an attractive method for the development of novel and shelf-stable consumer products.Dried Fruit Products offers a current approach linking the theory and practice of fruit drying, summarizing various techniques, their advantages and limitations, industrial applications, and simple design methods. Such dried fruit products as fruit pieces, fruit leathers, and fruit powders are dealt with in a way to inform their physical, chemical, sensory, and nutritional features, along with the characteristics of the process used to obtain them, such as drying method and drying equipment.Key Features:Contains up-to-date information on fruit dryingPresents a multi-perspective viewpoint of fruit dryingAddresses both food science and chemical engineering aspects of fruit dryingReaders can gain knowledge on the various types of drying techniques and insightful thoughts on selecting the appropriate drying techniques for different fruit products.

While modern food production has become increasingly efficient in providing a wide range of convenient and affordable products, individuals struggling with gluten intolerance, FODMAP intolerance, and intolerance to food additives are an exception when their health conditions limit the foods they can safely eat. Food intolerances, usually dealt with from a health perspective, also have technological aspects, especially as one takes into consideration that foods designed for individuals with food intolerances require specific ingredients, formulations, and processing conditions.Food Intolerances: A Technological Perspective addresses the health and food science aspects of food intolerances from a technological perspective, which is rarely considered in other books. Valuable data on products and production processes for designing foods for people who have food intolerances are presented in a way that various types of food industries can benefit from.Key Features:Compiles health and food science aspects of food intolerances in a single locationAddresses clean label food products and links them to food additive intolerancesDiscusses the mechanisms behind the changes in food product quality after ingredient substitution and compound removal in gluten-free, low-FODMAP, and clean label productsProvides perspectives and future trends in the development of food products for people who have food intolerancesA compilation of research from prominent medical doctors and PhDs in food science from around the world, this book is helpful for food science students and industry professionals alike.
