Provides clear explanations and practical insights to future chefs, dietitians, and scientists alike Includes learning objectives, key concepts and end of chapter questions Contains a new selection of detailed recipes that demonstrate scientific processes Integrates guided-inquiry activities that encourage active learning with structured exercises Features inquiry-based cooking labs that offer experiential learning opportunities to deepen student understanding Includes access to a companion website at www.wiley.com/go/provost/food_science_2e, for adopting professors with downloadable guided-inquiry activities and laboratories. Connecting classroom learning to real-world cooking, The Science of Cooking: Understanding the Biology and Chemistry Behind Food and Cooking, Second Edition is perfect for undergraduate students in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, food science, and nutrition, as well liberal arts majors taking introductory or general science courses.
Maintenance and Function of Biodiversity in Forests
The reprint of the databases will be in the same format as the original, which is a tabular CSV for easy data import and analysis. As for the flyer, we will keep the A4 size but change the layout to be more visually appealing. The color scheme will also be adjusted to match our new brand image.
Ecology of Macrofungi
Macrofungi are an important component of the ecosystem and provide ecosystem services for the sustenance of the environment. The wide ecological spread of macrofungi gives them vast scope to interact with substrates and symbiotic partners.
Prevention and Treatment of Medical Diseases in Vulnerable Populations
The main topics of this Special Issue are medical diseases in vulnerable populations, including migrants, ethnical and social minorities, and people experiencing homelessness. In this Special Issue, we aim to show reviews, original articles, clinical studies, case reports, and case series that can help clinicians to better understand the pathology, etiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of medical conditions in vulnerable populations. Many of these persons are especially fragile, refugees, children, women, and disabled people, and very litte is known about the healthcare needs of these groups.
Metal Ions in Biology
The present book discusses the inherent need and significance of metal ions in metabolic reactions. It details their essential elements and mechanistic prospects to regulate biological reactions. It discusses the broad domain of elements, including main group as well as transition elements, in a comparative and comprehensive manner. Contemporary and advanced topics like nuclear medicine, bio-mineralization, and so forth are covered as well.Features: Highlights the different behavior between Fe/Cu proteins and the structural changes during their biological functioning. Discusses the mechanistic prospects of various enzymes and proteins e.g., Cu-Zn SOD, Zinc finger, Ionophores, and so forth. Discusses the chemical as well as biological prospect of trace and ultra-trace elements. Includes biomimetic models of iron and copper. Reviews the criteria of nature selecting metal ion, why only certain elements are essential, and the differences between biologically induced and biologically controlled biomineralization. This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry, and biological sciences.
Berry Crops Production
Modern small fruit production and handling systems are highly intensive. Advances in technology offer growers and stakeholders innovative solutions to enhance efficiency and address industry challenges. This Reprint features studies on the impact of mineral and organic fertilizers, high tunnel structures, temperature, genotype, harvest timing, and irrigation regimes on strawberry fruit production and quality. Additionally, one study explores the development of a machine vision system using a digital camera for the quality grading of white mulberry fruits.
Natural Compounds as Antimicrobial Agents, 2nd Edition
After a successful first volume of the Special Issue titled "Natural compounds as Antimicrobial Agents", we are pleased to publish a second edition, which focuses on specific aspects of this research area, such as the fight against nontuberculous mycobacteria; antimicrobials from toads; apitoxins as antimicrobials; the fight against parasites such as Trypanosomes cruzi or Schistosoma mansoni; the fight against fungi; the use of coral-origin bacteria with antimicrobial volatile compounds; the fight against Clostridium perfringens; the productive effect of L carnitine, which has antimicrobial properties; and the effect of fennel waste extracts against bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, or S.aureus in beef burgers.
