Laboratory Tests for the Assessment of Nutritional Status (Modern Nutrition Ser. #21)
by Howerde E. SauberlichProper nutrition is the single most important component of preventative health care. Heart disease, diabetes, and other ailments are all linked to dietary habits. Accurate nutritional assessment can be a matter of life or death. Laboratory Tests for the Assessment of Nutritional Status explores the expanded number of nutrients that can now be evaluated. The author makes a compelling case for the practice and advancement of this critical health care tool. Nutritional assessment identifies undernutrition, overnutrition, specific nutrition deficiencies, and imbalances. Diligent assessment determines the appropriate nutrition intervention and monitors its effects. This book is a total revision of the 1974 version of the same title co -authored by Sauberlich. Since then, remarkable progress has been made on the methodologies applicable to nutrition status assessment and to the expanded number of nutrients that can be evaluated, especially trace elements. The introduction of high-performance liquid chromatography, amperometric detectors, and other technologies has advanced nutritional assessment by leaps and bounds. Today, nutritionists can gauge the value of microminerals, trace elements, and ultratrace elements. Sauberlich's revision updates the reader to the latest and most important trends in nutrition. These laboratory methods for the assessment of nutritional status are vital for identifying individuals as well as populations with nutritional risks.
Lactic Acid Bacteria: A Functional Approach
by Alejandra de Moreno de LeBlancLactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a diverse group of bacteria that comprise low GC content Gram-positive cocci or rods that produces lactic acid as the major end product of the fermentation process. Bifidobacterium genera may also be considered as a part of the LAB group for possessing some similar phenotypical characteristics despite the higher GC content. The key feature of LAB metabolism is efficient carbohydrate fermentation. This contributes to the production of several microbial metabolites that result in the improvement of flavor and texture of fermented foods, in addition to its positive impact on the human health when LAB is administered as a probiotic. The book deals with advances made in the functionalities of LAB, such as their effect on vitamin D receptor expression, impact on neurodegenerative pathologies, production of B-vitamins for food bio-enrichment, production of bacteriocins to improve gut microbiota dysbiosis, production of metabolites from polyphenols and their effects on human health, effect on reducing the immunoreaction of food allergens, as biological system using time-temperature to improve food safety, and the use of probiotics in animal feed. The book also reviews the use of LAB and probiotic technologies to develop new functional foods and functional pharmaceuticals.

Lactose Hydrolysis in Dairy Products
by Priyanka Singh Rao Heena Sharma Sumit Arora Laxmana Naik N.Lactose is the major disaccharide present in milk. Metabolism of lactose requires lactase which is present in the brush border of epithelial cells of the small intestine. Deficiency of this enzyme leads to malabsorption of lactose and fermentation of lactose occurs in gut which results in various gastrointestinal disorders. Around 70% of the world population suffers from lactose intolerance. Such individuals face difficulty in consumption of milk and milk products. This has led to a great demand in market for the milk products which are either low in lactose or lactose free. Major advances have been made in the production of lactose-free dairy products through lactose hydrolysis processing methods. Most of the books available on lactose hydrolysis in dairy products were published from 1970-1990. Awareness on lactose intolerance has increased in past one decade and development of new strategies to address this issue are progressing at rapid rate. There is a great need for consolidated information representing all aspects of lactose hydrolyzed dairy products. Lactose Hydrolysis in Dairy Products addresses the significance and application of lactose hydrolyzed products from production to consumption. It mainly emphasizes the basic principles that are essential to understand the concept of lactose intolerance and the various processes utilized for production of lactose-free dairy foods. Methods such as enzymatic hydrolysis, membrane processing and fermentation are covered in full. Further coverage includes alternative approaches to combat lactose intolerance, conversion of lactose to other bioactive derivatives and their health effects and the regulatory aspects and the main challenges and potential solutions for the production of lactose hydrolyzed products.

Ladled
by Kimberly HarrisA hearty stew on a cold winter night; a light, clear soup as a start to a meal; a spicy pho soup to warm the body and soul...It's hard to imagine a more comforting, nourishing food than a homemade soup or stew. And it is even harder to find a food more steeped in history. The art of creating homemade stocks and soups has known no borders, leading to such delicacies as Scottish yellow broth, Vietnamese pho soup, Indian lentil soup, and English pea soup. But these types of tantalizing creations, once a part of most households, have been largely replaced with canned foods or overly salted and MSG-laden restaurant fare.

It details how to create a wide variety of stocks and how to salt a soup correctly. It describes how to create soups and stews both simple and complex, offers a detailed shopping guide that helps you find fresh ingredients, and breaks down all the healthy benefits of making your own homemade stocks. As a busy mother, Kimberly Harris shares many soups that are simple enough to enjoy on an everyday basis and shows you how to integrate this traditional art into a busy modern lifestlye.

Lake Erie Wine Country (Images of America)
by Jewel Leigh EllisIn 1818, Deacon Elijah Fay planted the first grape vines of the Lake Erie Wine Country, located in the Lake Erie Concord Grape Belt. Fay's relatives planted the premier Concord vineyards in Brocton, New York, where the mighty Concord grape thrived. Vineyards were planted along the shore of Lake Erie in both New York and Pennsylvania, attracting the likes of Dr. Charles Welch, who relocated his grape juice operations to Westfield, New York, in 1897. Regional wineries sprung up during the grape boom of the 19th century but went out of business due to Prohibition in 1919. While New York permitted commercial wineries after Prohibition, it was not until 1968 when wineries were allowed to reopen in Pennsylvania. Today, the Grape Belt spans almost 60 miles along the southern shore of Lake Erie. Quaint towns dot the Grape Belt, which is now home to the Grape Discovery Center and boutique wineries that welcome thousands of visitors each year.
Lakhpati Kisan: Transforming Agriculture-Based Livelihoods for Smallholder Farmers in India (Public Policy in India)
by Anjal Prakash, Ashwini Chhatre, Ganesh Neelam, Sujit G Kumar and Apurva DudduAgriculture plays an essential role in the growth of developing economies, as agricultural production is key to food security and is closely intertwined with the livelihoods of many. This book explores the lives of smallholder agricultural farmers in India and the dire challenges that agricultural households face.Focussing on the Lakhpati Farmers initiative, the book examines interventions made by the programme to economically empower farmers and accelerate income growth in the agriculture sector.

The programme engaged with households in 12 districts across 4 states – Jharkhand, Odisha, Maharashtra, and Gujarat – to bring about change through economic empowerment and improve the quality of life of tribal communities. This book documents these initiatives and strategies to meet the aspirations of small and marginal farmers by understanding the ingredients, processes, and challenges involved.
