Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like cereal, pulse processing is one of the oldest and most important of all food processing, which encompasses a diverse range of products. Pulses are widely grown throughout the world and their dietary and economic importance is globally appreciated and well recognized. Although cereal processing has several dedicated text books, no dedicated text on pulse processing is currently available for food science and technology graduates. This book aims to address this oversight, starting with a chapter highlighting the importance of pulses, their production and consumption trends. The coverage in subsequent chapters provides details on the physical and chemical characteristics of pulses, starches, proteins and minor constituents in them and then how they are processed and used. Cooking quality, analysis and the value of the food products will all be examined with the final chapter reviewing the regulatory and legislative requirements for pulses. This book will serve as a comprehensive text book for undergraduate and postgraduate students, educators, industry personnel involved with grain processing and to some extent researchers providing an up-to-date insight into pulse science, processing and technology.

Book excerpt: World health authorities recommend people maximize their protein intake through vegetable sources (such as pulses), and reduce protein intake from animal sources. Increasing vegetable protein intake has been shown to be positively associated with the reduction of both cardiovascular-disease-related mortality and all-cause mortality. Pulse consumption has been shown to improve satiety and metabolism of glucose and lipids, due to their high protein and fiber content, which makes their consumption ideal for preventing and managing obesity. In recent years, there has been increasing demand for pulses and pulse-based products in developed countries. Several large-scale collaborative research projects on pulse products have been initiated by government agencies. Similarly, established multinational food companies have developed pulse product units. Pulses: Processing and Product Development fulfills the need for a comprehensive book on processing and products of pulses. The book addresses a specific pulse with each chapter to meet a wide range of audiences from undergraduate students to consumers.

Download or read book Current Strategies to Improve the Nutritional and Physical Quality of Baked Goods written by Mario Martinez Martinez and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lifestyle of humans is rapidly changing, and, correspondingly, their needs and the current and future megatrends of the food market. It is worth mentioning (1) the preference for natural, simple, and flexible diets that drive the further expansion of plant-focused formulations, (2) the focus on food sustainability (food waste reduction), and (3) the interest in healthy eating as the basis for good health. The hectic routine and rapid urbanization in developed and developing regions, respectively, have shifted consumer preferences toward bread and baked foods, which, interestingly, are often high in sugars and are categorized as having a high glycemic index. Therefore, it is of major importance to address the technological challenges of manufacturing baked goods with high physical and sensory quality that result in positive metabolic responses. This Special Issue seeks to provide fundamental understanding in this area and novel strategies to improve the nutritional properties of baked goods, including a decrease in starch bioaccessibility, sugar reduction, increase in fiber and/or protein content, and the improvement of phytochemical bioactivity. This Special Issue will also cover studies on the physical and sensory improvements of baked goods that may provide a mechanistic understanding to minimize the loss of quality after the incorporation of nutritional-improving ingredients, such as edible byproducts, proteins, or fibers. Last but not least, studies focused on the reduction of additives (clean label) or fat and on the use of sourdough to improve the sensory properties of baked goods will also be included.

Download or read book Health Benefits of Pulses written by Wendy J. Dahl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a global overview of pulse intake and future trends from a variety of perspectives. Pulses, which include dried beans, peas and lentils, are second only to grains as a source of food for the world’s population. Contributors from around the globe explore a number of issues related to this food group, including their impact on global health and sustainability, the relationship between pulse intake and chronic disease, and their nutritional and gastrointestinal benefits. The primary purpose of the volume is to explore the nutritional and health benefits of pulses (starchy legumes) as a sustainable food source. Initial chapters focus on the role of pulses in complementary feeding and in the prevention of malnutrition in infants and children in the developing nations of Africa. Authors also consider the feasibility and sustainable properties of pulses as a staple food for these regions. Subsequent chapters focus on the association between pulse intake and chronic disease risk reduction. Contributors identify the unique contributions of pulses, versus legumes as a whole, to chronic disease risk and management. Additional chapters provide a comprehensive review of the nutrient contents of pulses, their bioavailability, and the nutritional impact of pulse consumption. The book also explores the phytochemicals contained in pulses from two perspectives, the traditional perspective of risk (e.g. anti-nutrients) and a nutraceutical perspective, focused on the novel benefits of pulse components (e.g. antioxidants). The editor has designed the book for students, faculty, and research scientists, as well as practicing dietitians. Members of the pulse industry, grower associations, and government agencies also will find the information relevant to their work, as will those in the private sector employed by food companies with an interest in pulse ingredients.

Download or read book Upcycling Legume Water from wastewater to food ingredients written by Luca Serventi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food manufacturing generates an incredibly high volume of wastewater. The legume industry is one of the top contributors to this environmental issue, as soaking and boiling are necessary to transform dried legumes into cooked canned products and other legume-based products, such as soymilk, tofu, hummus and flours. Wastewater must be treated prior to disposal into the environment, thus raising production costs for the food industry. In addition, wastewater contains nutrients that are lost from the food chain after disposal. As water and soluble nutrients are becoming a limited resource, it is critical to optimize food manufacturing at all levels. Recycling Legume Wastewater Into Food Ingredients presents a sustainable solution to this increasing demand for food and water. The text analyses the composition of legume wastewater and its physicochemical properties, including its potential applications in emulsifiers, foaming agents, gelling agents and antistaling ingredients. Early chapters discuss the processing of legumes and the wastewater generation involved. Further sections focus on wastewater generated by soaking and cooking, including the composition, functional properties, and food applications involved in each. Sprouting water, bioactives and applications in edible packaging are also discussed. In presenting a sustainable solution for legume wastewater use, this text is an important key to sustainability in food processing and the reduction of waste.

Download or read book Optimization of Pulses and Pulse Sequences for NMR Spectroscopy written by Stella Slad and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2022-09-02 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Chemistry - Analytical Chemistry, grade: 1,0, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), language: English, abstract: Pulse engineering plays an important role in high-resolution NMR spectroscopy because the performance of existing pulses depends on experimental parameters like bandwidth or magnetic field inhomonegeities. The GRAPE optimization algorithm can be used to find the best pulse for a given set of parameters. This method has been used to design band-selective pulses, robust broadband excitation and inversion pulses and various universal rotation pulses. The first part of this work is an extension of the systematic studies on broadband pulses. This time the GRAPE algorithm is used to design broadband 30° and 60° excitation pulses as well as universal rotation pulses with the same flip angles. Correlations between the best achievable quality factor and pulse duration have been measured for different bandwidths and degrees of rf-inhomogeneity tolerance. Minimum pulse durations for a given quality factor have been evaluated and compared to studies of 90° and 180° pulses. The obtained pulse shapes are similar to previously published point-to-point and universal rotation pulses optimized with this method. The second part of this work is concerned with the design of ultra-broadband 19F-CMPG and 19F-PROJECT pulse sequences that could be used for ligand-based binding studies. The best CPMG sequence was a combination of a BURBOP-90 pulse with a BURBOP-180 pulse. For PROJECT, the best results were achieved using the same 90° pulse and a pair of BIBOP pulses instead of a universal rotation pulse. Simulations showed that the PROJECT sequence performs significantly better than the CPMG sequence in the presence of fluorine-fluorine couplings.
