This reference provides in-depth coverage of the history and current status of the fuel ethanol industry in the United States. It examines processing methods, scientific principles, and innovations for making grain-based fuel ethanol; physical and chemical properties of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS); assay methodologies for compositional analyses; and mycotoxin occurrence in DDGS. The contributors also discuss changes during processing and analysis of factors causing variations in compositional, nutritional, and physical values. Additional chapters cover emerging uses for DDGS, including feed for livestock, feedstocks for bioenergy production, ingredients for food, and industrial materials.

This comprehensive new book provides up-to-date information on many types of Asian prepared foods-their origin, preparation methods, processing principles, technical innovation, quality factors, nutritional values, and market potential. Written by experts who specialize in the field, it includes information on Asian dietary habits and the health significance of Asian diets.Asian Foods also discusses differences in preparations and varieties among diverse Asian ethnic groups and regions, cultural aspects associated with the consumption of the products, and the market status or potential of more than 400 varieties of Asian foods. These foods include products made from rice, wheat, other starchy grains, soybeans, meat, poultry, fish, fruits, and vegetables, as well as functional foods and alcoholic beverages.This timely book will be of interest to food professionals in product development, dieticians interested in Asian diets and dietary habits, business developers seeking market potential for Asian prepared foods, and food science and human nutrition students who need supplemental information.

Soybeans and soyfoods have become an increasingly important asset to people throughout the world, thanks in part to their health benefits as recognized by the FDA in October 1999 and in part to improvements in quality and quantity brought on by advancements in processing and breeding technology. Soybeans: Chemistry, Technology, and Utilization provides the reader with in-depth and up-to-date coverage of: the chemistry, nutritional significance, assay methodology, and changes during maturation, storage, processing, and germination of each soybean component, including isoflavone; the preparation methods, scientific principles, and processing innovations of each traditional and Westernized soyfoods; the role of soyfood in preventing chronic ailments such as cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis; modern processing and applications of soybean improvements through plant breeding and emerging biotechnological approaches.

The soybean [Glycine max (L. ) Merrill], a native of China, is one of the oldest crops of the Far East. For centuries, the Chinese and other Oriental people, including Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asians, have used the bean in various forms as one of the most important sources of dietary protein and oil. For this reason and because the amount of protein produced by soybeans per unit area of land is higher than that of any other crop, this little old bean has been called "yellow jewel," "great treasure," "nature's miracle protein," and "meat of the field. " Now this bean is seen by some as a weapon against world hunger and a protein of the future. Most recently, the soybean has been touted as a possible weapon against chronic diseases. Since large-scale introduction to the Western world at the beginning of the twentieth century, the cultivation and use of soybeans have undergone a dramatic revolution: from traditional soyfoods in the Orient to a new generation of soyfoods in the West, from animal feed to value-added food protein ingredients, from industrial paints to affordable table oils and spreads, from an old field crop to a new crop with wide regions of adoptability, herbicide tolerance, pest resistance, and/or altered chemical composition, and from limited regional cultivation to expanded worldwide production.
