Download or read book Yeasts in Food and Beverages written by Amparo Querol and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-12-30 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a group of microorganisms, yeasts have an enormous impact on food and bev- age production. Scientific and technological understanding of their roles in this p- duction began to emerge in the mid-1800s, starting with the pioneering studies of Pasteur in France and Hansen in Denmark on the microbiology of beer and wine fermentations. Since that time, researchers throughout the world have been engaged in a fascinating journey of discovery and development – learning about the great diversity of food and beverage commodities that are produced or impacted by yeast activity, about the diversity of yeast species associated with these activities, and about the diversity of biochemical, physiological and molecular mechanisms that underpin the many roles of yeasts in food and beverage production. Many excellent books have now been published on yeasts in food and beverage production, and it is reasonable to ask the question – why another book? There are two different approaches to describe and understand the role of yeasts in food and beverage production. One approach is to focus on the commodity and the technology of its processing (e. g. wine fermentation, fermentation of bakery products), and this is the direction that most books on food and beverage yeasts have taken, to date. A second approach is to focus on the yeasts, themselves, and their bi- ogy in the context of food and beverage habitats.

We are discussing regarding travel and tourism industry. One major division of the said industry is hospitality sector, which comprises mainly of lodging, and food and beverage divisions.The ancient travelers were mainly pilgrims, traders and military men, but whenever there was a military movement they used to carry accommodation and food with them. It was the traders and the pilgrims who wanted the provision of food and accommodation. The first Inns had nothing more than a cot or a bench towards the corner of the room. Here sanitation and privacy were non-existent. People used to share room with livestock. In the 3rd century, Roman Empire built roads in Europe to facilitate the traders. Soon a chain of roadside Inns was constructed from Spain to Turkey. This continued to be same till the end of 17th century for common men. The wealthy used to stay at their friends' place or with relatives, but soon they too realized the need for accommodation for their class. Thus the European castle-like structure sprung up. This had the provision of sanitation, privacy and all the luxury that they demanded. This structure came to be known as 'Hotel', the French equivalent for Mansion. Colonial American Inns were modeled after the Europeans and the practice of sharing was common.The word 'hospitality', according to Oxford English Dictionary, is the friendly reception and treatment of friends, guests and strangers. Even though this sector comprises mainly of lodging and Food & Beverage division, in a wider sense the word can be used as a synonym for travel and tourism industry.Food and beverage services sector contributes a great deal to the profits in hospitality industry.

Download or read book Integrating the Packaging and Product Experience in Food and Beverages written by Peter Burgess and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating the Packaging and Product Experience in Food and Beverages: A Road-Map to Consumer Satisfaction focuses on the interrelationship between packaging and the product experience. In both industry and academia there has been a growing interest in investigating approaches that capture consumer responses to products that go beyond traditional sensory and liking measures. These approaches include assessing consumers' emotional responses, obtaining temporal measures of liking, as well as numerous published articles considering the effect of situation and context in the evaluation of food and beverage products. For fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) products in particular, packaging can be considered as a contributor to consumer satisfaction. Recent cross-modal research illustrated consumers' dissatisfaction or delight with a product can be evoked when there is dissonance between the packaging and the product experience. The book includes an extensive overview of an adapted satisfaction scale that has been tailored for the food and beverage sector and which identifies varying satisfaction response modes such as contentment, pleasure, and delight with a product. This is an important development as it provides insights about products that can be used to market specific categories and brands of foods and beverages. The book demonstrates the value of this approach by bringing together case studies that consider the interrelationships between packaging design, shape, on-pack sensory messages, expectations, and consumer satisfaction with the product.
