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

It has been nearly a decade since the third edition of Engineering Properties of Foods was published, and food structure/microstructure remains a subject of research interest. In fact, significant developments have taken place in the area of high pressure processing (HPP), which has been approved for pasteurization of food by the Food and Drug Administration.

It has been nearly a decade since the third edition of Engineering Properties of Foods was published, and food structure/microstructure remains a subject of research interest. In fact, significant developments have taken place in the area of high pressure processing (HPP), which has been approved for pasteurization of food by the Food and Drug Administration. Kinetic data related to HPP have proven important for validation of pressure-assisted pasteurization. Due to these developments, three new chapters have been added to the Fourth Edition: Food Microstructure AnalysisGlass Transition in FoodsKinetics and Process Design for High-Pressure ProcessingThe text focuses on elucidating the engineering aspects of food properties and their variations, supplemented by representative data. Chapters have been updated and revised to include recent developments. The book presents data on physical, chemical, and biological properties, illustrating their relevance and practical importance. The topics range from surface properties, rheological properties, and thermal properties to thermodynamic, dielectric, and gas exchange properties. The chapters follow a consistent format for ease of use. Each chapter contains an introduction, food property definition, measurement procedure, modeling, representative data compilation, and applications.
