A volume in the series on Foundations and Frontiers of Enzymology, Enzymes Beyond Traditional Applications in Dairy Science and Technology presents the applications of enzymes in dairy science and technology. Broken into four sections, this book provides a brief account of traditional applications of indigenous milk enzymes, the actions of exogenous enzymes on milk proteins for generating bioactive peptides and lactose for value addition, and methods and approaches for ensuring milk quality or cleaning milk plants.?

This book is an excellent resource for postgraduate students, academics, food scientists, and dairy professionals engaged in milk processing.

Cereals are the principal dietary components of human diet and have been for several thousand years. Whole grain cereals are not only an excellent source of energy, but also enrich the diet. The processing of cereals prior to consumption is a necessary step in production chain to make them palatable and enhance bio- and techno-functional performance.

Cereal Processing Technologies: Impact on Nutritional, Functional, and Biological Properties reviews cereal processing technologies and their impact on quality attributes of cereals, detailing the processing techniques of cereals with recent advancements followed by their impact on nutritive, functional and biological potential. Each chapter covers three major components as a) technological details for the processing treatment, b) impact on nutritive, functional and biological properties and c) characterization of processed products.

Key Features:

The contents of Cereal Processing Technologies are an asset for researchers, students and professionals, and can be potentially used as a reference and important resource for academia and future investigations. This book helps readers identify how different techniques for processing cereal grains enhance the targeted nutritional and functional quality.

The term "Nutri-Cereals" has been dedicated to ten cereals due to their unique nutritional benefits. Nutri-Cereals: Nutraceutical and Techno-Functional Potential covers these cereal grains, with each chapter focusing on nutrient composition and bioactive characterization followed by associated bio-functional properties and health benefits. Further, it covers techno-functionality of nutri-cereals including rheological properties, emulsification and foaming potential, gelation behavior, color profile and others which dictate the suitability of cereals in finished products.

Key Features:

Although many of the nutri-cereals have been known for thousands of years, due to their coarse nature and lack of processing they escaped the human diet. Now, thanks to their excellent agro-economic potential and numerous health benefits, they are once again recognized as functional ingredients. Recently, earmarked investment and funding have been observed for valorization of these crops and thus, this book will help academicians to strengthen future investigations.

This reference book provides updated knowledge on fundamentals and applications of aptasensors

in food science. It discusses aptamer selection strategies including Systematic Evolution of Ligands

through EXponential enrichment (SELEX), Capture SELEX, Cell SELEX, and GO SELEX strategies

for aptasensor design involving well-studied and newly emerged nanomaterials, food analysis

focusing on its safety, aptasensing techniques relevant to detection of food pathogens, pesticides,

veterinary drug residues, toxins, heavy metals, allergens, and future perspectives of aptamers in

food science and technology. The book focuses on recent developments in aptasensors and their use

in detection of contaminants in food. The book is an excellent resource for R&D organizations

dedicated to the development of biosensors in general and aptasensors in particular for the detection

of environmental contaminants in the food supply chain. Also, the contents of the book will

be useful to researchers, postgraduate students, analytical chemists, food scientists, and regulatory

authorities.
