ENZYMES IN FOOD AND BEVERAGEPROCESSINGEditors : Muthusamy chadrasekaranPublishers : CRC PressTaylor & Francis GroupYear : 2018No. of Pages : 539Price : CHF: 200, USD: 221,INR: 15,826.91Enzymes technologies find an importantplace in Biotechnology which has immensepotential for strengthening diverse foodproducts using vast biodiversity. This helps toresolve environmental problems caused bywastes from food and beverages industries.This book presents the application ofdifferent enzymes in various food and beverageindustries in addition to preventing informationon basics concepts and fundamentalsprinciples of enzyme technologies andenzyme engineering. The book also deals withlatest advances in food science technologywith respect to emerging food industries, suchas functional foods, nutraceuticals, probioticsthe use of enzyme inhibitors and enzymebiotransformation in addition to the use ofenzyme valorization of food and beverageprocessing by products and waste.There are 22 chapters grouped underfour sections. Section I deals with enzymebasics and development of novel biocatalystscovered in chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4. Chapter 1BOOK REVIEWpresents comprehensive information onenzymes-their nomenclature, mechanism ofaction and kinetics, characteristics andsources of food-grade enzymes. Chapter 2deals with enzyme catalysts. Chapter 3includes a detailed discussion on the useof quantity and food safety. Chapter 4 dealswith the latest developments and scope ofapplication of enzyme engineering and proteinmodification in food processing.Section II covers various applications ofenzymes in food and beverage industries inchapters 5 to 15 including starch processingindustries, bakery industries, confectionaryindustries, role of enzymes in oil and lipidprocessing, processing of fruit and vegetablesprocessing of alcoholic and non-alcoholicbeverages, enzyme applications in theproduction of flavours, food additive milk,cheese and associated dairy products, role ofenzyme in meat tenderization and use ofenzyme technology for the processing of seafood.Section III deals with recent advances infood –grade enzyme biotechnology inchapters 16-21, like synthesis of novelfunctional food ingredients, processing ofnutraceuticals form plant resources,development of probiotics, prebiotics,synbiotics and cobiotics an use of enzymeinhibitors in regulating enzyme processing offood and beverages.Section IV comprises chapter 22which presents the future perspectives of emerging trends of enzyme applications infood processing industries.The contents of this book will caterto the food science researchers, enzymebiotechnologists and food and beveragesindustries as a reference book for guidanceand a roadmap for taking up research in theseareas. Also this book holds the potential toleave as a useful text cum reference foradvanced courses in food sciencetechnology, food biotechnology and foodengineering, enzyme biotechnology and foodwaste management.JEYANTHI, G.P.
