Coffee, one of the most commercially important crops grown, is
distributed and traded globally in a multi-million dollar world
industry. This exciting new book brings together in one volume the
most important recent developments affecting the crop.
Contributions from around 20 internationally-respected coffee
scientists and technologists from around the world provide a vast
wealth of new information in the subject areas in which they are
expert.
The book commences with three cutting-edge chapters covering
non-volatile and volatile compounds that determine the flavour of
coffee. Chapters covering technology follow, including
comprehensive information on developments in roasting techniques,
decaffeination, the science and technology of instant coffee and
home / catering beverage preparation. The physiological effects of
coffee drinking are considered in a fascinating chapter on coffee
and health. Agronomic aspects of coffee breeding and growing are
covered specifically in chapters concentrating on these aspects,
particularly focussing on newly-emerging molecular and cellular
techniques. Finally, recent activities of some international
organisations are reviewed in a lengthy appendix.
The editors of Coffee: Recent Developments have drawn
together a comprehensive and extremely important book that should
be on the shelves of all those involved in coffee. The book is a
vital tool for food scientists, food technologists and agricultural
scientists and the commercially important information included in
the book makes it a ‘must have reference’ to all food companies
involved with coffee. All libraries in universities, and research
stations where any aspect of the coffee crop is studied or taught
should have copies of the book available.
