Fermentation and the use of micro-organisms is one of the most important aspects of food processing, an industry worth billions of US dollars world-wide. From beer and wine to yoghurt and bread, it is the common denominator between many of our foodstuffs. In his engaging style Professor Charles Bamforth covers all known food applications of fermentation. Beginning with the science underpinning food fermentations, Professor Bamforth looks at the relevant aspects of microbiology and microbial physiology, moving on to cover individual food products, how they are made, what is the role of fermentation and what possibilities exist for future development.:.; Internationally respected author.; Coverage of all major uses of fermentation in the food industry.; Practical coverage of food processing in relation to fermentation. A comprehensive guide for all food scientists, technologists and microbiologists in the food industry and academia, this book will be an important addition to all libraries in food companies, research establishments and universities where food studies, food science, food technology and microbiology are studied and taught. more...

This is the first book specifically on galectins?a challenging and promising area in medical biochemistry and drug design. After an introduction to galectins, the book covers their structure and functions, ligand specificity, and molecular mechanisms of action, along with the roles galectins play in tumor growth and cancer, fibrosis, inflammation, and immunity. Then it covers the effect of galectins on cell migration, angiogenesis, and chemoresistance and describes new approaches to designing galectin inhibitors. This is a core reference for chemists, biochemists, pharmacologists, biologists, and others interested in this emerging field. more...
