About this book:

Food Engineering Reviews publishes reviews covering all engineering aspects of todays food industry. Coverage concentrates on classic as well as modern novel food engineering topics, exploring such essential factors as the health, nutritional, and environmental aspects of food processing. The journal identifies and discusses trends that will drive the discipline over time. The scope of topics addressed is broad, encompassing transport phenomena in food processing, food process engineering, physical properties of foods, food nano-science and nano-engineering, food equipment design, food plant design, modeling food processes, microbial inactivation kinetics, preservation technologies, engineering aspects of food packaging, shelf life, storage and distribution of foods, instrumentation, control and automation in food processing, food engineering, health and nutrition, energy and economic consideration in food engineering and food engineering education.

About this book:

Mycotoxins are made by different biosynthetic pathways, and they have an extremely wide range of pharmacological effects. This book will update readers on several cutting-edge aspects of mycotoxin research, including topics such as
new analytical methods for detection, the adoption of an ancient Mexican process for detoxification of aflatoxins, mycotoxin management in Ireland, Lithuania and South America, mycotoxin reduction through plant breeding and integrated management practices, and natural aflatoxin inhibitors from medicinal plants. Further contributions examine ochratoxins, selected trichothecenes, zearalenone, and aflatoxin-like gene clusters, as well as sclerotial development in Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. Of particular interest are the chapters on the potential use of mycotoxins as bioweapons. This book will stimulate new thinking on the need to develop therapeutic as well as preventative interventions to reduce the toxicological threat of mycotoxins.

About this book:

Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins publishes reviews, original articles, letters and short notes and technical/methodological communications aimed at advancing fundamental knowledge and exploration of the applications of probiotics, natural antimicrobial proteins and their derivatives in biomedical, agricultural, veterinary, food, and cosmetic products. The Journal welcomes fundamental research articles and reports on applications of these microorganisms and substances, and encourages structural studies and studies that correlate the structure and functional properties of antimicrobial proteins.
