ABOUT THE SERIES

To address the issues associated with malnutrition and hunger, it is necessary to ensure qualitative and quantitative protection of food commodities after harvesting and to create cost-effective, rational strategies to minimize postharvest losses and maintain nutritional properties of food products with more sustainable approaches. The depletion in food nutritional quality due to contamination by microorganisms is a significant drawback faced by many developing countries. In the food science domain, polymeric materials are well explored from both a nutraceutical and bioengineering point of view. With respect to engineering applications, researchers have discovered the most relevant products for intelligent packaging, which preserve food quality and increase the shelf-life period of food products. Moreover, in agriculture, specific polymers are used to improve the efficacy of treatments and reduce environmental pollution. In the nutraceutical field, since consumers are increasingly conscious about diet and health, the consumption of high-nutrient foods has frequently been growing.

This new book series, Modern Trends in Food Science, focuses on advancements in food microbiology, functional foods and nutraceuticals, food bioprocesses, sustainable food packaging, natural products, nano- and microtechnology, healthy product composition, innovative bioprocesses for utilization of food products, development of novel food preservation alternatives, extending the shelf life of meat products, etc. It also provides systematic and comprehensive information on basic and advanced aspects of food science, including the most recent information on several natural food sources of microbial, plant, and animal origin and their health benefits.

This book series consolidates various advanced food science concepts, i.e., food microbiology, food biotechnology, nutrition science, food chemistry, food processing, sustainability challenges, and the entire food science and technology domain. Individual books under this book series focus on the fundamentals of current food science trends and highlight emerging food technology and innovations transforming the food industry. All the books will be prepared by leading subject experts and food science researchers. This book series will be an asset for students, researchers, and academicians of food science and technology and will also be useful for food industry professionals and food entrepreneurs.

The following theme specific volumes will be published under this book series:

  • Microbial Food Safety
  • Algal Food Products
  • Food Molecular Biology
  • Omics Technology in Food Science
  • Food Nanotechnology
  • Nanosized Biomaterials in the Food Industry
  • Foodomics
  • Practical Handbook of Fruit Analysis
  • Foodborne Pathogens
  • Algal Metabolites for Food Applications
