This book presents an account of the current knowledge of dietary fibre, covering both its beneficial role and possible adverse effects. Areas covered include the chemistry of plant cell walls, the problems of chemical analysis, and the physiological effects of cell wall polysaccharides throughout the alimentary tract. However the authors also provide, probably for the first time, a wide-ranging examination of the anti-nutritional and toxicological aspects of high-fibre diets and their regulatory implications. Professional health workers, legislators, food industry scientists and technologists, students of dietetics, medicine and food science should find this book of particular value, as should anyone with an interest in the topic of high fibre diets. This book should be of interest to nutritionists and health workers; food scientists; food technologists; food biochemists and chemists; dietitians; and gastroenterologists.

Consumer safety has become a central issue of the food supply system in most countries. It encompasses a large number of interacting scientific and technological rnatters, such as agricultural practice, microbiology, chemistry, food technology, processing, handling and packaging. The techniques used in understanding and controlling contaminants and toxicity range from the most sophisticated scientific laboratory methods, through industrial engineering science to simple logical rules implemented in the kitchen. The problems of food safety, however, spread far beyond those directly occupied in food production. Public interest and concern has become acute in recent years, alerting a wide spectrum of specialists in research, education and public affairs. This series aims to present timeIy volumes covering all aspects of the subject. They will be up-to-date, specialist reviews written by acknowledged experts in their fieIds of research to express each author''s own viewpoint. The readership is intended to be wide and international, and the style to be comprehensible to non specialists, albeit professionals. The series will be of interest to food scientists and technologists working in industry, universities, polytechnics and government institutes; legislators and regulators concerned with the food supply; and specialists in agriculture, engineer ing, health care and consumer affairs.

Plant foods are rich in micronutrients, but they also contain an immense variety of biologically-active, non-nutritive compounds that contribute to colour, flavour and other characteristics. These phytochemicals have been increasingly linked to reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, osteoporosis and coronary heart disease. Edited by two leading experts in the field, and with a distinguished international team of contributors, Phytochemical functional foods assesses the evidence for their health benefits and reviews the key issues involved in successful product development.Part one reviews research on the health benefits of phytochemicals, including chapters on cardiovascular disease, cancer, bone and gastrointestinal health, as well as the functional benefits of particular groups of phytochemicals such as phytoestogens, carotenoids and flavonoids. Part two considers the important safety and quality issues in developing phytochemical products. There are chapters on establishing appropriate intake levels, testing the safety of phytochemicals and establishing health claims through clinical trials. Part two also covers such issues as extracting and enhancing phytochemical compounds for use in food products.Phytochemical functional foods will establish itself as a standard reference on one of the most important sectors in the functional foods market.- Reviews research on the health benefits of phytochemicals- Considers safety and quality issues in developing phytochemical products- Written by a international team of experts
