E-Books →Food Biotechnology Food Processing, Gene Editing and Safety (De Gruyter STEM)

Biotechnological advances sparked a food revolution with new ideas for a sustainable food future. The book embodies all microbial and food biotechnology related topics, and current, emerging, and future technologies for food fortification, safety and security. It critically assesses the use of emerging trends in biotechnology to develop disease resistant raw foods and products, enhance food and food products nutritional profiles, and reduce negative effects of animal nutrition. It explains the influence of genetic variations in foods, and the varied responses to diet, nutrients, and overall health outcomes. The use of fermentation technologies to create innovative and sustainable food products with novel organoleptic attributes, and the conversion of food waste into useful products are discussed. The book also covers genetic modification methods to reduce or eliminate food allergens, and blockchain technologies that enable transparency and food security along the food supply chains.
