Editorial Reviews

Review

"This truly is an essential guide for scientists...an indispensable resource for food chemists, scientists, nutrition researchers, and government researchers and inspectors." (Bioseparation, Vol. 9, No. 4, 2000)

"...an invaluable source of information and an excellent reference." (Food Chemistry, Vol 72/1, 2000) "...it is good to see the importance placed on the chemistry of food proteins..."

"...would be a useful reference for anybody interested in food protein chemistry and processing..." (Chemistry & Industry, 4th December 2000)

"This is an essential guide which will inspire new ideas for conducting useful research..." (Beverage and Food World, August 2000)

From the Back Cover

State-of-the-art knowledge on a wide variety of protein processing applications.

Food Proteins presents a thorough review of each important animal and plant protein used in food processing, including physicochemical properties important to the food industry. The authors explore recent trends in food manufacturing that will revolutionize food production in the years to come.

Emphasizing protein behavior during processing, the book examines the relationships between structure, function, and properties of different food proteins. The focus is on food processing applications of proteins from eight different commodity areas: milk, meat, poultry, eggs, breads, cereal, soybeans, and confectionery. This book provides:
* Fundamental concepts required for understanding modern food protein chemistry
* Basic concepts underlying the structure/function relationship of food proteins
* Predictions of functionalities required for achieving the best quality in proteinaceous foods
With the genetic evolution of food proteins playing an increasingly important role in food product development, Food Proteins: Processing Applications is an indispensable resource for food chemists, scientists, and technologists as well as protein chemists, nutrition researchers, and government researchers and inspectors.
