Beginning with an introduction to relevant genetic techniques, chapters cover all major groups of LAB, including the Bifidobacteria; plasmid biology, gene transfer, phage, and sugar metabolism; gene expression of various LAB; applications for genetically engineered LAB, including the emerging field of medical applications; and the legal and consumer issues that arise from such applications. This resource will set the benchmark for the state of knowledge of LAB genetics and should be of value to food scientists and other researchers working with LAB in its present and future capacities. Professionals using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for research and/or as working organisms, whether in food and dairy fermentations or in the exciting new field of clinical delivery agents, will find this book invaluable. In addition, professors teaching under- and post-graduates in microbiology, and postgraduate research students will also find this an essential reference work.

Modern awareness of nutrition issues can be understood correctly if considered the destination of a historic journey, the critical aspects and outcomes of which have led to the current situation. In fact, over time there have been changes to scientific knowledge, food availability and processing and preservation methods. Commercial exchange has increased considerably between the countries of the world – so much so that it has defined a completely different scenario to the past and has influenced food availability, distribution models, preservation methods and the composition of individual foodstuffs. The products consumed on a daily basis throughout the world in industrialised countries have undergone review by the food industry, incorporating great aspects of innovation that make them highly different in their structure, content and even the packaging that protects and contains them. After covering the subject of innovation in the food sector, this Brief of work will discuss the various first- and second-generation product categories distributed in Europe starting from the period of post-war reconstruction, in order to illustrate the reasons that led to their birth and development on the market. Specific examples are shown for each proposed class, including highlights of their properties, technologies, innovation potential, related regulations, and distinctive features.

Pflanzen und Zubereitungen daraus stellen einen wichtigen Teil der ausgewogenen Ernährung dar. Neben einer Verwendung als Obst, Gemüse oder Getreide setzen wir sie beispielsweise als Zutaten in Form von Kräutern oder Gewürzen ein oder genießen sie als Tee. Vermehrt begegnen wir dabei auch exotischen Pflanzen, deren Verwendung als Lebensmittel in Deutschland bislang nicht bekannt war. In Supermärkten oder Drogerien werden darüber hinaus zunehmend Produkte verkauft, die der Gesunderhaltung dienen sollen und pflanzliche Zubereitungen enthalten, welche bisher in Deutschland vor allem in Arzneimitteln eingesetzt wurden. Die hier vorliegende Kategorie der Stoffliste des Bundes und der Länder wurde erstellt, um die Einstufung und Beurteilung von Pflanzen und Pflanzenteilen hinsichtlich einer Verwendung als Lebensmittel oder Lebensmittelzutat zu erleichtern. Neben einer Einstufung unter formalrechtlichen Aspekten liefert die Liste Informationen zu eventuell bestehenden Risiken einer entsprechenden Verwendung. Die Stoffliste soll Behörden und Inverkehrbringern von Lebensmitteln als Orientierungshilfe dienen.

Food microbiology is a fascinating and challenging science. It is also very demanding with a constantly changing sea of guidelines, regulations and equip­ ment. Public concerns over food safety issues can overemphasize certain risks and detract from the normal hygienic practice of food manufacturers. This new edition aims to update anyone concerned with the hygienic production of food on key issues of HACCP, food microbiology and the methods of microbe detection. I have taken a 'crystal ball' approach to certain topics. The use of rapid techniques such as lux gene technology and polymerase chain reaction (DNA probes) are progressing so rapidly in the research laboratory that when this book is in print the techniques may be more readily available. New methods for investigating viral gastroenteritis due to small round structured viruses (SRSV) have been developed past the 'research' stage and may become more standard in the next few years. Undoubtedly this will alter our understanding of the prevalence of viral food poisoning. I have also included issues such as new variant CJD (associated with BSE infected cattle) which at the time of writing has only caused the deaths of 20 people, but due to the uncertain incubation time could be a far more serious problem. In the UK there has been a much publicised outbreak of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 which has resulted in a government inquiry and the recommenda­ tion of the generic HACCP approach. Hence this approach to HACCP imple­ mentation has been included.
