Es richtet sich in erster Linie an Studierende der Chemie sowie des Chemie- und des Bioingenieurwesens und setzt lediglich solide Grundkenntnisse in organischer, anorganischer und physikalischer Chemie voraus. Das Werk ist in 19 etwa gleich lange Kapitel unterteilt, die jeweils ungefähr dem Umfang einer doppelstündigen Vorlesung mit Übung entsprechen. Die überschaubaren Einheiten erleichtern es auch, sich den Inhalt im Selbststudium anzueignen. Die vier Kapitelblöcke „Grundlagen", „Reaktions- und Trenntechnik", „Verfahrensentwicklung" und „Chemische Prozesse" folgen im Wesentlichen dem „Lehrprofil Technische Chemie" des DECHEMA-Unterrichtsausschusses für Technische Chemie. Der Teil „Grundlagen" liefert allgemeine Definitionen und beschreibt den Weg von der Laborchemie über den Technikums- bis zum Produktionsmaßstab. Der Leser erhält hier Informationen über den aktuellen Prozessverbund der chemischen Industrie und über die wesentlichen Produktstammbäume. Zwei Kapitel über physikalisch-chemische Grundlagen legen die Basis für das Verständnis der Abläufe in industriellen Reaktions- und Trennapparaturen. Im Teil „Reaktions- und Trenntechnik" wird zunächst der Reaktionsteil eines chemischen Prozesses betrachtet, einschließlich einer Übersicht über ideale und reale Reaktortypen. Das nächste Thema sind die thermischen und mechanischen Grundoperationen, die zur Vorbereitung von Edukten und zur Nachbereitung von Prozessströmen von wesentlicher Bedeutung sind. Schließlich wird der Leser mit dem Aufbau von chemischen Fließschemata vertraut gemacht, die die Kommunikation zwischen dem Chemiker und dem Ingenieur erleichtern. Der Teil „Verfahrensentwicklung" widmet sich den entscheidenden Aspekten bei der Auswahl eines chemischen Verfahrens für die industrielle Chemie. Hier geht es um Fragen wie die Auswahl der optimalen Rohstoffe, die Verwendung von Koppelprodukten und die Nutzung von Energieströmen. Auch die bei der Verfahrensentwicklung zu berücksichtigenden Sicherheitsauflagen und Umweltaspekte kommen zur Sprache. Da bei der Optimierung chemischer Prozesse katalytische Reaktionen eine zentrale Rolle einnehmen, stellen eigene Kapitel die heterogene und die homogene Katalyse an wichtigen Beispielen vor. Der Teil „Chemische Prozesse" gibt einen kurzen Überblick über die wichtigsten Produktgruppen der industriellen Chemie. Von den Rohstoffen Erdöl, Erdgas und Kochsalz ausgehend werden bedeutende organische und anorganische Basis- und Zwischenchemikalien vorgestellt. Wesentliche Endprodukte der chemischen Industrie, die Polymeren und die organischen Feinchemikalien, sind ein weiteres Thema. Ausführlich diskutiert werden schließlich auch moderne Trends wie beispielsweise der langfristige Wechsel von fossilen zu nachwachsenden Rohstoffen. Jedes Kapitel ist kompakt a

Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description Trace element analysis has a key role to play in quality control of food and diet. This timely book introduces the subject in a practical way - from sampling and the techniques available for trace analysis, to procedures for specific elements and data analysis. Beginning with a brief introduction and discussion of statistical evaluation of data, the subsequent chapter looks at trace analysis in general, with its essentials and terminology. Another section introduces sampling and preparation of foodstuffs such as wheat, potato, vegetables and milk. This is followed by descriptions of the various spectrometric techniques (atomic absorption, atomic emission, atomic fluorescence) that are available. Plasma techniques for both optical emission and mass spectrometry are presented, as are nuclear activation analysis and X-ray methods. A comparison of the various analytical techniques is provided, and a separate chapter handles speciation analysis. Finally, procedures for determining essential and toxic elements such as arsenic, iron, selenium and zinc are suggested, using several recent references. Detailed explanations and a simple format will appeal to laboratory technicians and graduate students, as well as more experienced researchers. Comprehensive coverage, coupled with illustrations and a guide to relevant literature and manufacturers, will make Trace Element Analysis of Food and Diet a valuable source of information for anyone working on analysis of trace elements in food, diet or other biological or environmental samples - particularly food engineers, agricultural scientists and government testing agency employees.

Multifunctional Mesoporous Inorganic Solids (NATO Science Series C: (closed)) Sale Price: $369.00   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description There is a great deal of interest in the general subject of porous inorganic materials in regard to their use as sorbents or catalysts. The solids may be microporous, mesoporous, or macroporous. Often there is a range of pore sizes within any given solid, and so there is special interest in the synthesis, characterisation and application of solids having well-defined pores. The first part of the book deals with the theory and practice of the measurement of pore-size distributions. Part II goes into porous crystalline materials. The zeolites are, by definition, microporous, but it is important to understand the mechanisms whereby such crystalline porous materials are formed, so as to suggest methods for the synthesis of mesoporous materials. Pillared layered solids are investigated in Part III. There are clear indications that the current generation of microporous materials may be developed to give PLS which combine micro and mesoporosity, while a totally mesoporous solid may not be far off. part IV covers sol-gel methods, where important new developments mean that oxides can be produced with high purity and with well-defined pore sizes. Methods of characterising the materials are also studied, with solid state NMR (including 27Al-NMR), X-ray and neutron scattering, pulsed ESR, and electrokinetic potential measurements being discussed in Part V. Finally, applications are discussed in Part VI.

Color Quality of Fresh and Processed Foods (Acs Symposium Series) Sale Price: $150.00   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description Color is a critical measure of quality in foods and beverages. Researchers and technical personnel in quality assurance and product development need appropriate objective methods for measuring color. This book contains chapters by scientists from throughout the world with expertise on the pigment and color stability of many different commodities. While a broad range of foods are represented, there is particular emphasis on fruits and vegetables and beverages. There is heightened interest in the natural food pigments today because of their health benefits and roles in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease, cancer and other diseases. However, research on the health benefits of natural colorants is not the subject of this book, rather the focus is on color quality- how it can be optimized and how it is appropriately measured.The book opens with a section on color measurement covering the basic principles and practical aspects of color measurement. Sixteen chapters are devoted to fruits, vegetables and beverages. The perspective of plant breeders is given along with that of academic and industrial scientists. Food colorants are given intense scrutiny when it comes to regulation, and there is considerable variation from country to country with respect to both basic principles and specific rules for use and labeling of colorants. The six chapters in the final section on regulatory aspects give a very comprehensive update on colorant regulations in the USA, Europe, Central and South America and Asia. The viewpoint from regulatory agencies is given along with that from manufacturers and users of food colorants. This section provides a very clear picture of food colorant regulations at the present time. Much of this information is also relevant to other food ingredients. The book contains a number of color plates that were selected to make for a clearer presentation of the author's concepts.

Food Contaminants: Mycotoxins and Food Allergens (Acs Symposium Series) Sale Price: $195.00   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description Mycotoxins are secondary fungal metabolites. Several toxigenic fungi are pathogenic to cereal crops. Mycotoxins encompass a wide range of compounds, several of which have been shown to cause disease in domestic animals and, less frequently, in humans. The toxicology, prevention & control, and analytical methods are highlighted. Toxicology is represented by measurement of aflatoxin-DNA adducts as biomarkers of long-term risk of disease in people, mechanism of fumonisin B1 carcinogenesis, and enhancement of ochratoxin A toxicity by citrinin. Attempts of mycotoxins control include preventing toxigenic fungi formation, decreasing toxins bioavailability, and facilitating toxins destruction. Monitoring mycotoxins occurrence and levels in commodities and foods is crucial to divert contaminated materials from human and animal food supplies. Methods of analysis for mycotoxins include immunoaffinity columns, molecularly imprinted polymers, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and qualitative and quantitative lateral flow methods.Food allergies limit the ability to consume foods without great caution and may be life-threatening. Increased government regulation and education is being used to address public concern on the rising food allergy rates. With the broad application of avoidance techniques through analysis, labeling, medical testing and possibly food modification, the rise in food allergy rates may be slowed and perhaps even reversed. While there are promising medical treatment developments it has had relatively little impact in managing food allergy. At present there is little available preventive treatment with management being primarily avoidance of food and emergency treatment of severe adverse reactions. For the public, vigilance on food items is important, and for industry, a wide variety of controls, including production and product line testing as well as labeling, are used to help the consumer make accurate avoidance choices. There are important issues of detection and threshold and using immunological and computer modeling to evaluate allergenic potential in food discussed in this book.
