Principles Of Enzymology For The Food Science

This second edition explains the fundamentals of enzymology and describes the role of enzymes in food, agricultural and health sciences. Among other topics, it provides new methods for protein determination and purification; examines the novel concept of hysteresis; and furnishes new information on proteases, oxidases, polyphenol oxidases, lipoxygenases and the enzymology of biotechnology.

The second edition of this successful book highlights thewidespread use of enzymes in food processing improvement andinnovation, explaining how they bring advantages. The properties ofdifferent enzymes are linked to the physical and biochemical eventsthat they influence in food materials and products, while these inturn are related to the key organoleptic, sensory and shelf lifequalities of foods. Fully updated to reflect advances made in the field over recentyears, new chapters in the second edition look at the use ofenzymes in the reduction of acrylamide, in fish processing and innon-bread cereal applications such as flour confectionery. Geneticmodification of source organisms (GMO) has been used to improveyields of purer enzymes for some time now but the newer technologyof protein engineering (PE) of enzymes has the potential to producepurer, more targeted products without unwanted side activities, anda chapter is also included on this important new topic. Authorshave been selected not only for their practical working knowledgeof enzymes but also for their infectious enthusiasm for thesubject. The book is aimed at food scientists and technologists,ingredients suppliers, geneticists, analytical chemists and qualityassurance personnel.

Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the use of enzymes as food processing tools, as an understanding of their means of control has improved. Since publication of the first edition of this book many new products have been commercially produced and the corresponding number of published papers has swollen. This second edition has been fully revised and updated to cover changes in the last five years. It continues to provide food technologists, chemists, biochemists and microbiologists with an authoritative, practical and detailed review of the subject.

Kinetics; inhibitors; effect of pH on activity; effect of temperature; aasay principles; measurement methods; peptide hydrolases; glycoside hydrolases; ester hydrolases; oxidoreductases; miscellaneous enzymes.

Food Enzymes: Structure and Mechanism is the first volume to bring together current information on the structures and mechanisms of important food enzymes. It provides an in-depth discussion of the dynamic aspects of enzyme structures and their relationship to the chemistry of catalysis. The book emphasizes aspects of the chemistry of enzyme structure and mechanism seldom covered in the food science literature. It includes a thorough discussion of the genetic modification of enzyme structures and functions with reference to specific food enzymes. More than 100 illustrations enhance the clarity of important concepts. Comprehensive references reflect the current state of knowledge on enzyme actions.

Improving and Tailoring Enzymes for Food Quality and Functionality, Second Edition covers the most relevant information demanded in the production, engineering, and application of enzymes. The title is very detailed and is in the important cross-field of academia and industry. This totally revised new edition covers a broad range of topics related to enzymes and their use in food, presenting both the fundamental theory and practical application, updated with interesting novel information on biosensors, waste, valorization, up-cycling and engineering perspectives, besides an increased focus on sustainability. Thoroughly updated revision covering a broad range of topics related to enzymes and their use in the food industry Presents both the fundamental theory and recent examples from the literature, including the fundamentals of protein folding and enzyme catalysis, the preparation of enzymes from natural and recombinant sources, immobilizing enzymes, and a range of specific food applications Covers new research directions in enzymes, thus helping those trying to solve a technical issue or develop a new product
