The Gale Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Food Labels by Gale Research Inc.
Publication Date: 2016
Food labels can be daunting in a world where many people need to make dietary adjustments or are concerned about additives and chemicals in food. In addition, food is often labelled in a way that may be confusing or misleading, such as a product being labelled as "Natural". Consumers will benefit from the Gale Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Food Labels, which explains the often confusing (and sometimes contradictory) language and measurements on food labels and in food marketing, and provides information in a more reader-friendly way than an FDA report can. This product will help consumers understand what labels and ingredients mean to their overall nutritional and food-safety needs.
Health and Safety Aspects of Food Processing Technologies by Abdul Malik (Editor); Zerrin Erginkaya (Editor); Hüseyin Erten (Editor)
Publication Date: 2019
This book deals with the subject of food processing in a unique way, providing an overview not only of current techniques in food processing and preservation (i.e., dairy, meat, cereal, vegetables, fruits and juice processing, etc.) but also the health and safety aspects: food technologies that improve nutritional quality of foods, functional foods, and nanotechnology in the food and agriculture industry.
