Kent's Technology of Cereals: An Introduction for Students of Food Science and Agriculture, Fifth Edition, is a classic and well-established book that continues to provide students, researchers and practitioners with an authoritative and comprehensive study of cereal technology.

This new edition has been thoroughly updated with new sections, including extrusion cooking and the use of cereals for animal feed. In addition, it offers information on statistics, new products, the impact of climate changes and genetics, new economic trends, nutrition regulations and new technologies.

The book is useful for students, researchers, and industrial practitioners alike, covering the full spectrum of cereal grain production, processing, and use for foods, feeds, fuels, industrial materials, and other uses.

Provides readers with a leader in cereal science literature Includes new sections on extrusion cooking and the use of cereals for animal feed, along with information on statistics, new products, impact of climate changes and genetics, new economic trends, new nutrition regulations and new technologies Useful for students, researchers and industrial practitioners alike

Storage of Grains and Their Products, Fifth Edition, presents the most authoritative reference on the principles and practices of storing and handling grains and their products. Divided into four main sections, the book covers the range of storage systems available in both the developed and developing world, the practicalities of the design and implementation of grain storage systems, looking in detail at handling, cleaning, drying, aeration, instrumentation amongst other topics, specific threats to stored grains, pulses, oils and pseudocereals from chemicals, rodents, insects and biosecurity, and the economics of grain storage, government regulations and future considerations.

Professionals responsible for the storage and handling of grains will find this book a great resource, however, it will also be of interest to academic researchers and postgraduate students in both cereal science and food processing.

Presents an up-to-date, end-to-end overview of the processing and storage of grain and grain related products Includes eleven new chapters that provide the latest insights into grain storage Edited by active cereals researchers working in industry, with experts from both academia and industry supplying chapters Includes essential information on the design and operation of grain facilities Provides coverage of the preservation of grain quality against specific threats

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.

An overview of the history of packaging, its multiple functions, diverse packaging materials, and packaging machinery Well-managed food packaging can provide humankind with a dependable solution for sustenance. Packaging is a critical tool for food preservation and food protection and facilitates the safe distribution of food. Effective packaging can lead to longer shelf-lives and improved global supply chain issues, and sustainable packaging can reduce food and environmentally harmful waste. Recent innovation in food packaging has shown it to be a dynamic field capable of evolving to meet new market and consumer needs. Introduction to Food Packaging is an accessible overview, detailing its history, general principles, and its future in the industry. It introduces traditional and new materials alike and a diverse lineup of packaging technologies —which are continuously entering the market, along with other relevant topics. The result is a book which clearly demonstrates the potential of food packaging to meet the challenges of a sustainable, globalized world. Introduction to Food Packaging readers will also find: An interactive digital version and a printed version including a full-color presentation with images, figures, tables and videos (digital version) presenting relevant key terms for each chapter, key concepts, learning objectives, an exhaustive bibliography and pertinent websites along with useful questions on key conceptsDetailed discussion of topics including functions, packaging materials, packaging technologies, worldwide packaging regulation and more A companion website for instructors with answers to the questions posed on each chapterIntroduction to Food Packaging is ideal for students and instructors involved in food science and technology classes related to food packaging as well as chemical engineering, agricultural engineering and bioengineering students interested in learning about the principles, applications, and relevant topics of food packaging.
