Description

Handbook of Sourdough Microbiota and Fermentation: Food Safety, Health Benefits, and Product Development links the cereal and sourdough-based microorganisms, fermentations and microbial metabolites with food hygiene and safety, functional and health promoting properties, and their potential interest to be employed in the agro-food sector and beyond. Structured in a way that provides the latest findings and most recent approaches and trends on sourdough this book also emphasizes the biotechnological aspects, such as fermentation, food processing and the use of beneficial microorganisms and their metabolites in different ways and in different industries. Written by experts from a multidisciplinary perspective, this book is a remarkable reference to a wide range of audiences with different backgrounds, from academics and researchers in food science to industrial food engineers and technicians, food plant managers, and new product and processing developers/managers in food packaging and preservation.

Key features

  • Covers how cereal-based and sourdough microorganisms and microbial metabolites can be used to extend the shelf-life of bread and other agro-food products
  • Presents microbial safety, fermentations, ropiness of baking-based products, bacterial and mold food spoilage, and the health promotion of sourdough and cereal-based products
  • Describes how cereal and sourdough-based products can contribute to convenient, nutritious, stable, natural, low-processed and healthy food

Readership

Academics and researchers (food science and engineering, food technologists, microbiologists, molecular biologists, chemists, nutritionists, pharmacists, biotechnologists, etc), through the industrial engineers and technicians (food engineers, food plant managers, new product and processing developers/managers, in food packaging and preservation, food hazards, food hygiene and safety, food preservation, food quality control, etc.) and to the persons in general with interest in all these fields united by a common denominator: the cereal-based sourdough microorganisms, fermentation, metabolites and their resulting products for the market, Students at different levels (B.Sc., M.Sc. and PhD.), Graduate, postgraduate and postdoc students who are conducting research studies in the same field (microbiology, food safety, new product/process development, etc) but also undergraduate students who want to specialize or initiate a research career in one of the areas covered by this book (see above the planned topics of the book), researchers and industry sectors – bakery and other agro-food, nutraceutical (dietary supplements and food additives), cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries
