Download or read book Food Wastes and By products written by Rocio Campos-Vega and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete guide to the evolving methods by which we may recover by-products and significantly reduce food waste Across the globe, one third of cereals and almost half of all fruits and vegetables go to waste. The cost of such waste – both to economies and to the environment – is a serious and increasing concern within the food industry. If we are to overcome this crisis and move towards a sustainable future, we must do everything possible to utilize innovative new methods of extracting and processing valuable by-products of all kinds.

Download or read book Comer written by Patricia Aguirre and published by Libros del Zorzal. This book was released on 2021 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Es muy curioso el modo en que empleamos las palabras. Hay un diccionario secreto que cada uno guarda en su corazón, como un eco feliz o sombrío de un sonido que encierra significados difíciles de comunicar. Mientras suponemos que hablamos deslizándonos sobre un código compartido, todos guardamos sentidos propios que los demás ignoran. Esta sensible percepción impulsó una serie de encuentros convocados por un verbo: “comer”, “pensar”, “amar”. Se invitó a personas de diversas disciplinas a contar lo que esa palabra significaba para ellas. La experiencia resultó de una intensidad impensada, los significados estallaron, y por algún motivo –o por muchos– el encuentro “Comer” fue uno de los más convocantes y de los más intensos. Patrica Aguirre, Mónica Katz y Matías Bruera hicieron detonar muchas certezas, y así nació este libro. Aquí está la palabra impresa para acceder a ella con la pausa reflexiva que la lectura permite, para volver sobre estas ideas todas las veces que sea necesario. Para el disfrute, pues el pensamiento también es una forma de la belleza. Porque aunque tengamos la sensación de que vivimos atormentados por la estupidez, aún hay personas que pueden sustraerse a la trivialidad imperante, y lectores dispuestos a compartir esa vivencia.

Download or read book Corn written by Khan Amanullah and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corn or maize (Zea mays L.) plays an important role in global food security. The many uses of corn make it a central commodity and a great influence on prices. Because of its worldwide distribution and relatively lower price, corn has a wider range of uses. It is used directly for human consumption, in industrially processed foods, as livestock feed, and in industrial nonfood products such as starches, acids, and alcohols. Recently, there has been interest in using maize for the production of ethanol as a substitute for petroleum-based fuels. It is an important source of carbohydrate, protein, iron, vitamin B, and minerals. Climate change, however, is a growing concern among corn growers worldwide. Scientists estimate that corn production will need to be increased by 15% per unit area between 2017 and 2037. To increase corn yields, advanced and new production technology needs to be developed and distributed among corn growers. The advanced technology to boost corn yields and counteract climate change is important for food security for the growing global population. Nutritionally, maize seeds contain 60-68% starch and 7-15% protein. Maize oil is widely used as a cooking medium and for manufacturing hydrogenated oil. The oil has the quality of reducing cholesterol in the human blood similar to sunflower oil. Corn flour is used as a thickening agent in the preparation of many edibles such as soups, sauces, and custard powder. Integrated nutrients management improves corn growth, leaf area index and light interception, dry matter accumulation and distribution, grain and fodder quality, yield components, grain and biomass yields, harvest index, and shelling percentage, and reduces the problem of food insecurity.
