Food Flavorings, Colorings and Preservatives: A Chef's Guide
Flavor refers to the sensory impression of food, which is determined by the sense of smell and taste. Smell is the main determinant of the flavor of a food item. The basic tastes of bitter, sweet, sour and salty are recognized universally. Some cultures also recognize pungency and oleogustus. The flavor of food can be altered or enhanced with both natural and artificial flavorants. Food colors or color additives are pigments, dyes or substances that impart color when added to a food or drink. They can be liquids, pastes, powders or gels. People associate colors with particular flavors and hence, food colors can influence the perceived flavor of the food. Food preservatives are added to food to prevent spoilage and visual deterioration by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. Sugaring, jellying, canning, pickling, and fermentation are some of the traditional techniques of food preservation. This textbook is compiled in such a way that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the use and application of food flavorings, food preservatives and food colors. Most of the topics covered herein address the modern trends in food preparation, stylization and preservation. It will prove to be an important reference text to students, chefs and anyone else with a passion for cooking.

Internal Swelling Reactions in Concrete
As critical concrete infrastructure deteriorates, engineers need efficient and reliable techniques to appraise the causes and the extent of deterioration, to evaluate the structural consequences and to select effective management protocols and rehabilitation strategies. This book looks at deterioration caused by internal swelling reaction (ISR) mechanisms in concrete, such as alkali-aggregate reaction, delayed ettringite formation and freeze-thaw cycles.The book provides accessible and comprehensive coverage of recent work and developments on the most common ISR mechanisms leading to induced expansion and deterioration. It addresses the implications of ISR on different scales (micro, meso and macro), outlines qualitative and quantitative techniques to assess the condition of affected concrete and introduces the multi-level assessment protocol, using advanced microscopic and mechanical techniques, particularly the stiffness damage test and damage rating index, as a reliable approach to appraise ISR-affected infrastructure. Also included is a detailed case study of the Robert-Bourassa Charest Overpass in Quebec.Internal Swelling Reactions in Concrete: Mechanisms and Condition Assessment is primarily intended for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as academics interested in the field of concrete durability and condition assessment of concrete. It will also be of interest to engineers and infrastructure owners dealing with ISR-related problems.
