Download or read book High Pressure Fluid Technology for Green Food Processing written by Tiziana Fornari and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to present the fundamentals of high pressure technologies from the perspective of mass transfer phenomena and thermodynamic considerations. Novel food applications are exposed and their relation to chemical analysis, extraction, reaction and particle formation processes are outlined. The chapters are written by a diverse group of scientists with expertise in chemistry, food processes, analytical chemistry, chemical engineering and chemical engineering thermodynamics, and biotechnology. The mission of green food engineering is to promote innovative technologies that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous materials (solvents, reagents) in the design and operation of food related processes, with the view to improve food safety and quality. Several efficient, environmentally friendly and benign technologies based on the use of high pressure and green solvents have demonstrated to be sustainable alternatives to traditional processes in the food industry. Although hundreds of new ideas are being published in the open literature, reliable engineering tools to simulate and design those processes are still under development. High Pressure Fluid Technology for Green Food Processing presents in-depth analyses and outlines the ways towards their maturity.

Download or read book The Green Food Bible written by Judith Wills and published by Random House. This book was released on 2008 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Essential Guide to Ethical, Organic, Whole and Healthy Food All you need to know about food that is ethical, organic, whole and healthy. Until quite recently it was considered fairly radical to buy organic produce, and the term "ethical food" was almost unheard of. Today, millions of us are trying to improve our lives, our health -- and the planet -- by eating not only organic, healthy, additive-free food, but also food that has been produced responsibly. But with so much conflicting information out there, many of us still have concerns about what we are really buying and eating, and where our food has come from. Today, the concept of "green food" embraces so many things including how far our food has travelled to reach us, seasonal eating, free trade, fair trade, slow food, and many more concerns. The Green Food Bible offers a guiding hand through the complicated maze that is eating today. Fully illustrated throughout, it is packed with fascinating information about the food industry. It includes a hands-on guide to growing your own organic fruits and vegetables. Practical, comprehensive and up-to-date, The Green Food Bible will enable consumers to make confident, informed choices about buying and eating food that is not only healthy for us, but healthy for the environment

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow a food trail and you’ll find yourself crisscrossing oceans. Join M. F. K. Fisher Grand Prize for Excellence in Culinary Writing award-winning author Nina Mukerjee Furstenau as she picks through lost tastes with recipes as codes to everything from political resistance to comfort food and much more. Pinpoint the entry of the Portuguese in India by following green chili trails; find the origins of limes; trace tomatoes and potatoes in India to the Malabar Coast; consider what makes a food, or even a person, foreign and marvel how and when they cease to be. Food history is a world heritage story that has all the drama of a tense thriller or maybe a mystery. Whose food is it? Who gets to tell its tale? Respect for food history might tame the accusations of appropriation, but what is at stake as food traditions and biodiversity ebb away is the great, and not always good, story of us.
Download or read book A Mess of Greens written by Elizabeth S. D. Engelhardt and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2011-09-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining the study of food culture with gender studies and using perspectives from historical, literary, environmental, and American studies, Elizabeth S. D. Engelhardt examines what southern women's choices about food tell us about race, class, gender, and social power. Shaken by the legacies of Reconstruction and the turmoil of the Jim Crow era, different races and classes came together in the kitchen, often as servants and mistresses but also as people with shared tastes and traditions. Generally focused on elite whites or poor blacks, southern foodways are often portrayed as stable and unchanging--even as an untroubled source of nostalgia. A Mess of Greens offers a different perspective, taking into account industrialization, environmental degradation, and women's increased role in the work force, all of which caused massive economic and social changes. Engelhardt reveals a broad middle of southerners that included poor whites, farm families, and middle- and working-class African Americans, for whom the stakes of what counted as southern food were very high. Five "moments" in the story of southern food--moonshine, biscuits versus cornbread, girls' tomato clubs, pellagra as depicted in mill literature, and cookbooks as means of communication--have been chosen to illuminate the connectedness of food, gender, and place. Incorporating community cookbooks, letters, diaries, and other archival materials, A Mess of Greens shows that choosing to serve cold biscuits instead of hot cornbread could affect a family's reputation for being hygienic, moral, educated, and even godly.

Download or read book Ethnic American Food Today written by Lucy M. Long and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 741 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic American Food Today introduces readers to the myriad ethnic food cultures in the U.S. today. Entries are organized alphabetically by nation and present the background and history of each food culture along with explorations of the place of that food in mainstream American society today. Many of the entries draw upon ethnographic research and personal experience, giving insights into the meanings of various ethnic food traditions as well as into what, how, and why people of different ethnicities are actually eating today. The entries look at foodways—the network of activities surrounding food itself—as well as the beliefs and aesthetics surrounding that food, and the changes that have occurred over time and place. They also address stereotypes of that food culture and the culture’s influence on American eating habits and menus, describing foodways practices in both private and public contexts, such as restaurants, groceries, social organizations, and the contemporary world of culinary arts. Recipes of representative or iconic dishes are included. This timely two-volume encyclopedia addresses the complexity—and richness—of both ethnicity and food in America today.
