Description:
This new book focuses on the chemistry and technology of cereals, set in the agricultural and socio-economic context. The subject of cereal is given a greater geographical scope than other books that are primarily concerned with wheat and bread. The principles of cereals discussed include structure and composition; economic importance; storage and transportation; analysis; post-harvest losses; and the starch industries. Also included are the industrial processes which are the basis of our common foods-rice, bread, cornflakes, beer; and the common foods of more traditional societies, such as the porridges of Africa and the tortillas of the US, as well as numerous fermented foods and drinks.
