Description
Description
Advances in Potato Chemistry and Technology, Third Edition is a comprehensive guide that explores the identification, analysis, and application of chemical components in potatoes for both food and non-food uses. This edition thoroughly revises and updates previous content, offering foundational science on potato components, structure, and functional components. The book further delves into the variety of potatoes, their storage conditions, and optimal processing methods. Editors Singh and Kaur have collaborated with global experts to provide insights into emerging areas, including genetic modification, health benefits, food security contributions, and waste utilization.
Ideal for academic and industry food scientists, food chemists, and nutritionists, this book is also valuable for those involved in food security and advanced-level food science students. It includes information on the burgeoning field of genetic modification, the role of potatoes in human health, and their impact on food security. Additionally, the book addresses the reduction and utilization of potato waste, making it a vital resource for anyone interested in the multifaceted applications of potatoes.
