Abstract

"Bitterness is one of the most interesting and least studied/understood of all the human tastes. It produces aversive reactions because it was originally associated with the plant source being poisonous. In fact, it was considered a defence mechanism for avoiding the ingestion of such harmful substances so that early human survival was based on the knowledge and ability to discriminate between edible plants particularly those with potentially harmful effects. With the advent of modern technology our understanding of bitterness is far more sophisticated and that we now know that not all bitter compounds are poisonous. In fact there are many foods in which bitterness is quite acceptable such as in some cheeses and beverages. In this book we have attempted to provide a comprehensive review of bitterness, from the novel genes in humans responsible for the expression of bitterness to methods used to remove or reduce bitterness in functional foods and nutraceuticals. The book is organized into five sections. The first section covers the biology of bitterness perception with Chapter 1 discussing the biochemistry of the 25 human bitter taste receptors of the TAS2R gene family. Chapter 2 examines the physiological aspects of bitterness while Chapter 3 discusses human bitterness from an evolutionary perspective"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Książka zawiera nowatorskie spojrzenie na problematykę smaku gorzkiego przede wszystkim w żywności, ale także w produktach farmaceutycznych, suplementach diety i kosmetykach. Opracowanie popularyzuje prozdrowotne cechy zawartych w nich substancji goryczkowych. Autor wnikliwie charakteryzuje problematykę złożoności postrzegania smaku gorzkiego w wielu produktach rynkowych, z którymi styka się współczesny konsument. Publikacja streszcza aktualną wiedzę z wielu dziedzin badających percepcję smakową u ludzi oraz jej znaczenie w żywności i żywieniu. Istotną częścią opracowania jest charakterystyka segmentu rynku produkcji i konsumpcji żywności zróżnicowanej pod względem zawartości gorzkich komponentów. Autor wskazuje na dużą dynamikę tego rynku i dobre perspektywy jego rozwoju. Praca zawiera również oryginalny zbiór technik sensorycznych stosowanych w badaniach smaku gorzkiego. Nowym i unikatowym rozwiązaniem, jakie proponuje autor, jest aplikacja tzw. prostego i wielopunktowego modelu farmakoforowego (Simple Pharmacophore Model - SPM, i Multipoint Pharmacophore Model - MPM) własnej konstrukcji do prognozowania gorzkiej aktywności smakowej ingredientów pożywienia. Zastosowanie proponowanych przez autora rozwiązań obejmujących informatyczne sterowanie jakością pożywienia niesie ze sobą perspektywę tworzenia smacznej, bezpiecznej dla konsumentów i w pełni funkcjonalnej żywności. Perspektywa ta staje się bardzo atrakcyjna, szczególnie w dobie nadmiernej suplementacji, chemizacji oraz modyfikacji żywności.

Abstract

Beer is a beverage with more than 8000 years of history, and the process of brewing has not changed much over the centuries. However, important technical advances have allowed us to produce beer in a more sophisticated and efficient way. The proliferation of specialty hop varieties has been behind the popularity of craft beers seen in the past few years around the world. Craft brewers interpret historic beer with unique styles. Craft beers are undergoing an unprecedented period of growth, and more than 150 beer styles are currently recognized. This Special Issue, Brewing and Craft Beer, comprises nine different works by researchers from five continents (North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Oceania). This Special Issue reflects thus a broad perspective on the most important questions that concern the researchers in different parts of the world.

Abstract

Lignans are a class of natural products found mainly in plants. They have a wide variety of structures and exhibit a range of potent biological activities. Lignans are also well-known components of a number of widely eaten foods and are frequently studied for their dietary impact. Owing to these factors, lignans have been extensively studied by scientists from a large number of disciplines. This collection of research and review articles describes topics ranging in scope from the recent isolation and structural elucidation of new lignans, strategies towards the chemical synthesis of lignans, assessment of their biological activities and potential for further therapeutic development. Research showing the impact of lignans in the food and agricultural industries is also presented.

Abstract

Written by experts in the field of table olives, this book is a source of recent research advances on the characterization and processing of table olives. Research papers are provided relating to the characterization of their composition of volatiles and the sensory profile; mineral composition and bioavailability; changes in bioactive components (chlorophylls) by processing; and new strategies to reduce sodium and additives for stabilizing the organoleptic properties and avoiding defects in table olives. Other research papers are included in relation to microbiological and chemical changes in table olives during spontaneous or controlled fermentation employing different cultivars, and the optimized use of starter cultures for the improvement of the different fermentative processes. In addition, this book includes an overview of the main technologies used for olive fermentation, including the role of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts characterizing this process, and of the processing and storage effects on the nutritional and sensory properties of table olives.

Abstract

The sensation of flavor reflects the complex integration of aroma, taste, texture, and chemesthetic (oral and nasal irritation cues) from a food or food component. Flavor is a major determinant of food palatability—the extent to which a food is accepted or rejected—and can profoundly influence diet selection, nutrition, and health. Despite recent progress, gaps in knowledge still remain regarding how taste and flavor cues are detected at the periphery, conveyed by the brainstem to higher cortical levels, and then interpreted as a conscious sensation. Taste signals are also projected to central feeding centers where they can regulate hunger and fullness. Individual differences in sensory perceptions are also well known and can arise from genetic variation, environmental causes, or a variety of metabolic diseases, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cancer. Genetic taste/smell variation could predispose individuals to these same diseases. Recent findings have opened new avenues of inquiry, suggesting that fatty acids and carbohydrates may provide nutrient-specific signals informing the gut and brain of the nature of the ingested nutrients. This Special Issue, Taste, Nutrition, and Health, presents original research communications and comprehensive reviews on topics of broad interest to researchers and educators in sensory science, nutrition, physiology, public health, and health care.
