Fruit Fortification of Craft Beer
by Manju Nehra Nishant Grover K.S. Sandhu Rahul ThoryBeer has been one of the staples in alcohol consumption since the earliest civilizations. In the present day, beer is more popular than ever and shows no signs of decreasing in production volume and revenue generation. Some of the most popular craft beer types utilize fruit raw materials in their production, including wheat beers, porters, high gravity beers, stouts and Lambics. There have been multiple sources published over the decades focusing on beer brewing and brewing science, many of which do cover fruit fortifications and craft beer production. Due to the increasing popularity of fruit-fortified craft beers, an updated singular source is needed focusing on the use of fruit raw materials in the brewing process for various types of craft beer. Fruit Fortification of Craft Beer extensively outlines the use of fruits in the brewing and malting processes for all types of popular craft beers, outlining the latest technological and processing advances. Various fruit material additives are covered as are their specific uses in the brewing process, their characteristics and processing methods. The main types of craft beers which utilize fruit additives are covered including their chemical profiles and nutritional aspects. A major aspect of this book is the linking of the past and the future, examining how fruit has been used in beer fortification since ancient times and how the technologies and processing methods have advanced with the increasing popularity of locally-brewed craft beers. In focusing on these advances, this work brings fruit fortification in craft beers up to the present, providing an in-depth source for researchers and brewers.
Fruit Oils: Chemistry and Functionality
by Mohamed Fawzy RamadanFruit Oils: Chemistry and Functionality presents a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the chemistry and functionality of lipid bioactive phytochemicals found in fruit oils. The chapters in this text examine the composition, physicochemical characteristics and organoleptic attributes of each of the major fruit oils. The nutritional quality, oxidative stability, and potential food and non-foodapplications of these oils are also extensively covered. The potential health benefits of the bioactive lipids found in these fruit oils are also a focus of this text. For each oil presented, the levels of omega-9, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are specified, indicating the level of health-promoting traits exhibited in each. The oils and fats extracted from fruits generally differ from one another both in terms of their major and minor bioactive constituents. The methods used to extract oils and fats as well as the processing techniques such as refining, bleaching and deodorization affect their major and minor constituents. In addition, different post-processing treatments of fruit oils and fats may alert or degrade important bioactive constituents. Treatments such as heating, frying, cooking and storage and major constituents such as sterols and tocols are extensively covered in this text. Although there have been reference works published on the composition and biological properties of lipids from oilseeds, there is currently no book focused on the composition and functionality of fruit oils. Fruit Oils: Chemistry and Functionality aims to fill this gap for researchers, presenting a detailed overview of the chemical makeup and functionality of all the important fruit oils.

Fruits and Vegetable Wastes: Valorization to Bioproducts and Platform Chemicals
by Ramesh C. RayThis book puts together all aspects of valorization of vegetable and fruit wastes (VFWs) into different biocommodities and platform chemicals using fermentation and non-fermentation processes. VFWs are a special group of solid waste (biomass) that needs to be characterized to understand the nature of applications as raw materials and to propose an appropriate methodology for bioprocessing into value-added commodities. VFWs provide favorable conditions for the growth of microorganisms, and this opens up great opportunities for their use in fermentation processes. For example, VFWs can be used as a solid support, carbon, and nutrient source in fermentation for the production of a variety of value-added biocommodities such as enzymes, single-cell proteins, bioadsorbents, phenolic bioactive compounds, aroma and flavor compounds, and platform chemicals like lactic acid, bioethanol, and biobutanol. Researchers and academics in the area of environmental science and engineering, chemical engineering, biotechnology, life science, and food science and technology, undergraduate and graduate students, industry professionals, and policymakers will find this publication useful. Bioprocessing of agro-wastes is a recent technology for developing novel bioproducts. This book will also be of interest to the general public as a reference for all those interested in waste management.

Frustrated Materials and Ferroic Glasses (Springer Series in Materials Science #275)
by Turab Lookman Xiaobing RenThis book provides a comprehensive introduction to ferroics and frustrated materials. Ferroics comprise a range of materials classes with functionalities such as magnetism, polarization, and orbital degrees of freedom and strain. Frustration, due to geometrical constraints, and disorder, due to chemical and/or structural inhomogeneities, can lead to glassy behavior, which has either been directly observed or inferred in a range of materials classes from model systems such as artificial spin ice, shape memory alloys, and ferroelectrics to electronically functional materials such as manganites. Interesting and unusual properties are found to be associated with these glasses and have potential for novel applications. Just as in prototypical spin glass and structural glasses, the elements of frustration and disorder lead to non-ergodocity, history dependence, frequency dependent relaxation behavior, and the presence of inhomogeneous nano clusters or domains. In addition, there are new states of matter, such as spin ice; however, it is still an open question as to whether these systems belong to the same family or universality class.The purpose of this work is to collect in a single volume the range of materials systems with differing functionalities that show many of the common characteristics of geometrical frustration, where interacting degrees of freedom do not fit in a lattice or medium, and glassy behavior is accompanied by additional presence of disorder. The chapters are written by experts in their fields and span experiment and theory, as well as simulations. Frustrated Materials and Ferroic Glasses will be of interest to a wide range of readers in condensed matter physics and materials science.

FSMA and Food Safety Systems: Understanding and Implementing the Rules
by Jeffrey T. BarachThe US government's Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) of 2011 is an evolutionary "systems approach" to food safety that was derived from two major initiatives. One, the principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) has been an industry- and then a regulatory- adopted approach to food safety since the 1990s. It has proven sound and been adopted by the international community. The interest in using HACCP principles as the basis for FSMA is a logical outcome of the proven successes of HACCP adoption. Second, the recalls and disruptions in the safety of the food supply in the past 15 years has prompted the FDA to consider modernizing the scope of FDA-regulated food safety systems. Incidents such as melamine in pet foods and Salmonella in peanut butter, plus many incidents of pathogens in fruits and vegetables, especially from foreign sources, has driven the need for an expanded scope and "modernization" of the system to prevent and control food hazards. FSMA is HACCP plus much more. It will take many years for the successful adoption and implementation of FSMA, so it is likely that we will still be using aids like this book to help the industry with compliance in more than five years. The book will enable industry to gain an understanding of the basics needed to comply with these new regulations. Emphasis will be placed on the shift in the FDA's role where, due to limited Agency resources and the scope of their international and domestic inspection duties, more reliance on electronic data and records will be expected of food companies. This shift to records inspection promotes a more efficient FDA in ensuring compliance as well as managing recalls. FSMA is setting and matching the world agenda for food safety, like GFSI Standards. Other countries, such as Canada, are moving their programs in this same direction. The production of safe food is essential for a food company to survive. Following the regulations is a requirement for both commercial and business success. The new FDA rules are technically complex and this book is necessary to assist food companies and others in understanding and implementing the new rules. New food safety rules will soon be published by the FDA. This manual will help food companies to understand and implement them successfully. Food companies employ a food safety individual who is responsible for managing production regulations imposed by Federal Agencies. That individual is responsible for understanding and implementation of food safety rules. He/she must also train on-the-line workers about food safety. There are many components to the new FSMA regulations and these will be overwhelming to the staff of many small and mid-sized food companies. Those in charge of food safety will first, need to understand FSMA themselves and second, be able to implement the new approaches in their facilities. Readers of this book will be made aware of the various components of this complex system and through the book gain an awareness, in simple language, of what is needed to comply out of 1000s of pages of complex regulations. Basically this book breaks down a complex set of regulations into simple language and steps to enable the reader to grasp the concepts and put them in place. The food safety individual, line workers and consultants (domestic and foreign) will all find this book valuable. Secondary markets include upper level management who want a simplified understanding of regulations to ensure their company is in compliance; also university food science teachers and students represent a secondary market.
FTIR Microspectroscopy: Selected Emerging Applications
by Noureddine AbidiFourier Transform Infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR) was first developed by William Coblentz in 1905 for analytical purposes. It has been established as a powerful analytical method to analyze a wide range of materials. The most convenient way to analyze the molecular structure was to prepare KBr pellets with small amount of chemical species. Currently, the development of the Universal Attenuated Total Reflectance (UATR) allows the use of ZnSe-Diamond crystal to acquire FTIR spectra directly from the sample with no special preparation. These traditional FTIR analyses have been made with devices capable of performing single measurements, thus, providing a single IR spectrum of the sample. Recent major technological development in FTIR instrumentation was development of microscopes and imaging systems. These devices are now capable of imaging larger sample area, providing not only spectroscopic information but also spatial distributional information. In addition, the development of Focal Point Array (FPA) has made FTIR imaging an emerging area of chemical imaging research. The aim of this book is to summarize in a single document the research work that is being performed using UATR and IR imaging in selected emerging applications in plant materials and biological samples. This book provides the readers new knowledge, updates information, emerging applications, and understanding of the potential use of FTIR Microspectroscopy.
