Presents an introduction to the techniques and information required for the testing and analysis of cereals throughout the entire grain chain, from breeding through harvesting and storage to processing and the manufacture of cereal-based food products.
New methods have been added to the 10th Edition. The 10th Edition provides scientists working with grain-based ingredients the most up-to-date techniques and the highest level of analytical results. The 10th Edition also removes obsolete methods that are no longer in common use or for which equipment is no longer available.A concise and clearly written Objective has been added to every method in the 10th Edition, helping food scientists easily identify methods most appropriate for their specific applications.The 10th Edition Supplier Index is now greatly expanded, giving food scientists complete and rapid access to information about companies that can provide the instruments, chemicals, and equipment they need for each method.
The explosion of interest around the health benefits of whole grains has led to a new focus on the bioactive components of cereals, including their location and physiological effects. Grains are an important source of minerals (notably selenium, iron and zinc) and vitamins, such as folate. These nutrients are often degraded or removed by the milling or polishing of the grain to provide refined products. Measurements of these components require methodologies for analysis that must be accurate and reproducible and that provide adequate samples to allow wide screening. The work of the 47 prominent international food scientists presented in this comprehensive volume is the direct result of the European Union’s Framework 6 HEALTHGRAIN program which focuses on the role of wholegrain cereals in reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome-related diseases. The development of routine analytical methods for this group of essential phytochemical and dietary fiber components will help food companies improve the health benefits of their products as well as their abilities to measure the bioactive ingredients in cereal-based foods.
