Book excerpt: This book provides a critical, multiperspective, sociohistorical analysis of the role of food in postcolonial Indigenous, British and French settler relations. Drawing on archival resources from Australian explorers, settlers and nation builders, the book argues that contemporary issues of food security, sovereignty and sustainability have been significantly shaped by the colonial impact on human foodways. The author goes on to enhance readers’ understanding of how contact between inhabitants and newcomers was shaped and informed by food, and how these engagements established a modus vivendi that carries through to the present day. Based on the assessment of archival records, it uses a comparative, socio-historical lens to investigate contact between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people where the exchange of food or knowledge about food took place. It finds that the transfer of food and food knowledge was multifaceted, and the flow of food knowledge occurred in both directions, although these exchanges were neither symmetrical nor balanced. It also analyzes and discusses food as a focal point of activity. The final chapter offers an assessment of the potential for the development of a sustainable, nutritious, tasty Australian cuisine that moves beyond the tropes and stereotypical narratives embedded into colonial Indigenous-settler relations in the context of food. If this was accepted by all Australians, it would allow opportunities to be created for Indigenous Australians to develop food products for the market that are sustainable, economically viable and developed in ways that are culturally appropriate.

Download or read book How Taste Works written by Olivia Parker and published by Publifye AS. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""How Taste Works"" explores the fascinating world of gustation, unraveling the complex interplay between biology, chemistry, and psychology that shapes our taste experiences. This comprehensive guide delves into three key aspects: taste perception physiology, flavor chemistry, and taste's role in human evolution and health. The book challenges common misconceptions and offers a fresh perspective on our interactions with food and flavor. Starting with the five basic tastes—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami—the book progresses through cellular-level taste detection, explaining taste receptors and signal transduction pathways. It then examines flavor chemistry, discussing how volatile compounds and food preparation methods influence our taste perceptions. The book's unique approach combines scientific explanations with practical applications, such as how understanding taste chemistry can aid in developing healthier food products or treating eating disorders. Written in an accessible style, ""How Taste Works"" balances academic rigor with engaging narrative, making it valuable for students, food enthusiasts, and industry professionals alike. By incorporating recent research from molecular biology, neuroscience, and anthropology, the book provides a holistic view of taste's significance in human development and daily life, ultimately offering readers a new appreciation for this crucial sense.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food flavour technology is of key importance for the food industry.Increasingly, food products must comply with legal requirements andconform to consumer demands for “natural” products, butthe simple fact is that, if foods do not taste good, they will notbe consumed and any nutritional benefit will be lost. Thereis therefore keen interest throughout the world in the production,utilisation and analysis of flavours. The second edition of this successful book offers a broadintroduction to the formulation, origins, analysis and performanceof food flavours, updating the original chapters and addingvaluable new material that introduces some of the newermethodologies and recent advances. The creation of flavourings is the starting point for the book,outlining the methodology and constraints faced byflavourists. Further constraints are considered in a chapterdealing with international legislation. The origins of flavours aredescribed in three chapters covering thermal generation,biogeneration and natural sources, keeping in mind the adjustmentsthat manufacturers have had to make to their raw materials andprocesses to meet the demand for natural products whilst complyingwith cost issues. Delivery of flavours using encapsulation orthrough an understanding of the properties of the food matrix isdescribed in the next two chapters, and this section is followed bychapters describing the different ways to analyse flavours usinginstrumental, modelling and sensory techniques. The book is aimedat food scientists and technologists, ingredients suppliers,quality assurance personnel, analytical chemists andbiotechnologists.

Download or read book Flavour in Food written by Andree Voilley and published by Taylor & Francis US. This book was released on 2006-03-08 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation The flavour of a food is one of its most important qualities. Edited by two leading authorities in the field, and with a distinguished international team of contributors, this important collection summarises the wealth of recent research on how flavour develops in food and is then perceived by the consumer. The first part of the book reviews ways of measuring flavour. Part 2 looks at the ways flavour is retained and released in food. It considers the way flavour is retained in particular food matrices, how flavour is released during the process of eating, and the range of influences governing how flavour is perceived by the consumer. Flavour in food guides the reader through a complex subject and provides the essential foundation in both understanding and controlling food flavour. CONTENTS Part 1 Characterisation of aroma compounds: Choosing the correct analytical technique; Gaschromatography olfactometry; Human perception of taste compounds; Sensory analysis of food flavour; Matching sensory and instrumental data. Part 2 Flavour retention and release in the food matrix: Flavour binding; Emulsion-flavour interactions; Carbohydrate-flavour interactions; Modelling aroma interactions; The process of flavour release; Odourtaste interactions in flavour perception; Modulation of taste by flavour preferences.
