Designed for food engineers and workers in food science laboratories, this lab manual provides a set of experiments that can be conducted in most food science laboratories or pilot plants. Covering important food engineering principles, each experiment contains a summary of the purpose of the lab, background information on significant theoretical concepts, and mathematical equations to be used for each given experiment. Question and problem sets are also included to expedite understanding.

Plant Proteins, Bioactive Peptides, and Healthy Foods: Nutritional Properties, Functional Applications, and Processing Innovations offers a comprehensive exploration of emerging and novel plant-based proteins, including soy, pea, walnut, quinoa, hemp, duckweed, oat and more, detailing nutritional properties, bioactive peptide generation, and the potential health benefits they offer for cardiovascular support, muscle recovery, and inflammatory conditions. By analyzing the interactions between proteins and other food components, such as fibers and lipids, the book also highlights the synergies that improve nutrition and digestion. The latest processing technologies, including fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis, that enhance protein bioavailability are also detailed.Chapter experts highlight the challenges and opportunities in plant-based utilization, including limitations in sensory attributes, processing challenges and allergenicity, strategies for optimizing nutritional quality and functional properties, and future directions in research and industrial applications. Sustainable and efficient plant-protein production is also addressed. This book serves as a valuable guide for professionals in the food industry and researchers looking to innovate functional food products and nutraceuticals, contributing to the growing demand for sustainable, plant-based diets.Provides in-depth analysis of a variety of plant-based proteinsAnalyzes each protein's amino acid composition, digestibility, and bioavailabilityExplores the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular-supporting properties that are critical for developing functional food and nutraceutical productsHighlights modern processing techniques like fermentation, sprouting, and enzymatic hydrolysis that enhance the bioavailability and functionality of plant proteinsEmphasizes practical applications to help food developers innovate and meet the growing demand for plant-based products

The Handbook of Membrane Separations: Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Food, and Biotechnological Applications, Second Edition provides detailed information on membrane separation technologies from an international team of experts. The handbook fills an important gap in the current literature by providing a comprehensive discussion of membrane applications in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries as well as in the treatment of toxic industrial effluents. This revised second edition has been updated and expanded with discussions of new membrane products and processes and novel applications in engineering, life sciences, and energy conversion. It also includes new chapters in the field of membrane science and technology covering recent advances in RO and UF, ionic liquids, nanotechnology, roles of membrane in power generation, updates on fuel cells, new membrane extraction configuration, and other important topics. The handbook is equally suited for the newcomer to the field as it is for process engineers and research scientists (membranologists/membrane experts) who are interested in obtaining more advanced information about specific applications. It provides readers with a comprehensive and well-balanced overview of the present state of membrane science and technology.
