Written in a systematic and comprehensive manner, the book reports recent advances in the development of food science and technology areas.
Advances in Food Science and Technology discusses many of the recent technical research accomplishments in the areas of food science and technology, such as food security as a global issue, food chemistry, frozen food and technology, as well as state-of-the-art developments concerning food production, properties, quality, trace element speciation, nanotechnology, and bionanocomposites for food packing applications.
Specifically, this important book details:
* New innovative methods for food formulations and novel nanotechnology applications such as food packaging, enhanced barrier, active packaging, and intelligent packaging
* Freezing methods and equipment such as freezing by contact with cold air, cold liquid, and cold surfaces, cryogenic freezing, and a combination of freezing methods
* Chemical and functional properties of food components
* Bionanocomposites for natural food packing and natural biopolymer-based films such as polysaccharide films and protein films
* Regulatory aspects of food ingredients in the United States with the focus on the safety of enzyme preparations used in food

Director of the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Mahatma
Gandhi University, India. He received his Ph D in 1987 in polymer
engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT),
Kharagpur, India. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry,
London, and a member of the American Chemical Society. He has been
ranked fifth in India with regard to the number of publications
(most productive scientists). He also received the coveted Sukumar
Maithy Award for the best polymer researcher in the country in
2008.
Laura B. Iturriaga is a food engineer, researcher, and
lecturer in the food physics-chemistry field at the Faculty of
Agriculture and Industrial Agriculture, Universidad Nacional de
Santiago del Estero (UNSE), Argentina. She successfully defended
her Ph D at the Universidad de La Plata (UNLP).
Pablo Daniel Ribotta studied chemical engineering at the
Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC) in Argentina and
finished his Ph D at the Universidad Nacional de la Plata in 2002.
