List Price: $379.95

Review Phosphates in Food / CRC:

Phosphates in Food provides the first comprehensive analysis of phosphates used in food processing in almost 20 years. The book describes the nomenclature, structure, chemistry, and analytical procedures for phosphates in foods. Interactions between added and some natural phosphates and food components (particularly proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and metal ions) are examined in relation to using phosphates in food processing for such purposes as increasing the water-holding capacity of proteins, improving emulsification, preventing gelation, and delaying lipid oxidation. The book also discusses the use of phosphates in specific food groups, such as milk and dairy products; meats, poultry, and fish; fruits and vegetables; bakery products and cereals; and miscellaneous food products including beverages, fats and oils, sugar and confectionery products, eggs and derivatives, and specialty products. An extensive section discussing the importance of phosphates as microbial agents is presented and is followed by a final section that examines the nutritional and health implications of elevated phosphate intake. The book contains 1,135 references, 43 tables, and 34 figures, making it an ideal reference resource for researchers in food sciences, microbiology, and nutrition; food and chemical industries; and regulatory agencies within local, state, and federal governments.

Review Nutritional Considerations in the Intensive Care Unit: Science, Rationale, and Practice / Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company:

Specialists from across the US in a wide range of medical specialties explain to clinicians the important nutritional factors to take into account when treating the critically ill. Because intensive care patients and their conditions are very diverse, no general template for nutrition is applicable. Rather, clinicians must understand the principles of nutritional medicine, and the considerations for determining the most appropriate interventions for a specific patient type in order to individualize the nutrition approach. The reference covers nutritional derangements and critical illness, traditional nutritional issues, applications to a number specific conditions, and other considerations such as designer formulas and anabolic agents.

Review Trace Elements in Human and Animal Nutrition / Academic Pr:

From the Preface:The major change in the format of the fifth edition is the presentation of the book in two volumes, necessitated by the rapidly increasing knowledge of metabolism, interactions, and requirements of trace elements. The guiding principle was to present the minimum of results that would serve as a logical foundation for the description of the present state of knowledge. Recent results of research were accommodated by devoting new chapters to the subjects "Methodology of Trace Element Research" and "Quality Assurance for Trace Element Analysis" and by expanding the discussion of lithium and aluminum in separate, new chapters. The first two subjects are of outstanding importance as determinants of future progress. The concern for the quality of analytical data motivated the authors of the individual chapters to review critically and, where necessary, revise analytical data presented in the previous editions. The rapid progress of trace analytical methodology since the mid-1970s has changed what had been accepted as normal for the concentrations of many trace elements in tissues and foods. The new data reflect the present state of the art in trace element analysis, but they may be subject to future revision.

Review Nutrition, Diet, and Oral Health (Oxford Medical Publications) / Oxford University Press, USA:

Dental health is intimately related to nutrition and diet and a thorough understanding of these relationships and the preservation of health is an integral part of dental practice. The focus of modern dentistry is shifting from the filling and extracting of teeth towards prevention of dental decay and disease, the changing undergraduate dental curriculum reflects these changes, and also patients are increasingly asking for information on the best way to look after their teeth. This book is written for undergraduate students, covering the information they need in this field during their courses, as well as postgraduate dental students particularly in pedontics and GDP. Developed to help the reader build up and understanding of the relationship between diet and prevention of oral disease, this book is well illustrated in full color and includes case-histories, information boxes and recommendations for further reading.
