        In Search of the Village Distilleries of Maramures

        A Romanian Odyssey

        by Ian Macilwain

        This photographic portrait of the Village fruit brandy distilleries of the remote inaccessible northernmost province of Romania has taken the author five years to complete. He first went to the neighbouring province of Transylvania in 1968 on a Honda 50. After a career in Psychiatry , he has specialised in the photography of Scottish malt whisky distilleries , producing several books, of which the best known is ‘Bottled History’.  He has found in Maramures a process remarkably similar to the family distilling tradition in Scotland which died out after 1820. The photographs capture the atmospheric interiors and the people who work in them.  The author tries to distil the essence of this deeply traditional place before it disappears for ever.

        Safety and Quality Assurance in Food Supply Chain

        Emerging Technologies and Challenges

        by K.P. Sudheer & Bindu Lakshmanan

        Technological advances have profoundly influenced the food industry with deep imprints on food safety and quality. Food safety and quality assurance demands a huge expertise from food technologists and an enormous commitment from food industry. An exquisite presentation of an array of novel technologies to guarantee safety and quality in food supply chain of diverse food composites is an innovative venture to inspire the students, to guide researchers and to persuade entrepreneurs. Chapters on oil and water quality, sensory analysis through fuzzy logic, hazards and its detection in milk, meat, fish and different agricultural produce accentuate the uniqueness of this book. Emerging technologies for non-destructive quality analysis, pragmatic approaches to ensure safety and quality in milling and baking industry as well as a comprehensive sketch of regulatory norms for promoting export are the notable highlights of this book. HACCP protocols pertinent to different food industries are vividly depicted. With an enriching academic background and proven experience, authors of each chapter have contributed abundantly to uphold the promise of this book to be a robust pillar to promote a healthy society.

        Safety and Quality Management in Food Supply Chain

        A Farm To Fork Approach

        by Sudheer, K.P. & Bindu Lakshmanan

        Food safety and quality is a matter of international significance and a responsibility of food processors and governments in the global food supply chain. Technological interventions in food quality analysis and safety detection are advancing at tremendous rates. A comprehensive documentation to create awareness, to implement strategies and to fill up the void in research and development in safety of foods of plant and animal origin is a long standing demand of scientific and industrial communities. In this context, it is essential that the current procedures and protocols in the areas of safety and quality analysis/detection be made available in an easy to read format for the benefit of the students, analysts and researchers. The disciplinary background of the contributors range from Food Engineering, Post-harvest Technology, Food technology, Food Microbiology, Meat Technology, Veterinary Public health, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Food Packaging and Quality management, to Community science. It covers the most common and new techniques in safety and quality analysis while addressing the relevant food safety and quality issues. Besides compiling the safety aspects of various food products viz: cereals, fruits and vegetables, milk, meat, fish, water, bakery and confectionery, this book also documents the rules, regulation and certification associated with food industry. We are sure this book will be a good reading material for academia and industry in food processing sector.

        Advances in Cereals Processing Technologies

        by Gopal Kumar Sharma , Anil Dutt Semwal & Dev Kumar Yadav

        The present book presents its reader with comprehensive knowledge related to cereals processing. It is imperative to have sound knowledge of Food laws and regulations with an Indian perspective as these plays a pivotal role in commercializing food products as well as fresh produce which is aptly covered in this book. It includes recent trends in technology of cereals based products, technological updates in legumes and pulses based convenience/ processed foods, various aspects of evolution of Bakery and confectionery technology, Technological evaluation of milling. Since ages process of fermentation was employed for preserving the cereals based food by using general and specified micro flora and micro fauna. The science and technology involved is well explained in chapter titled Fermented foods based on cereals and pulses. The most important quality attributes related to cereals processing are rheological and thermal changes which occur when extrinsic factors such as moisture and temperature are ebbed and flowed. This subject was sensibly covered under Rheological & thermal changes occurring during processing. Sugarcane and sugar industry have the largest contribution to the industrial development. Various unit operations and technology involved are explained as Recent updates in sugar, honey, jaggery and salt processing.
