Health care delivery is shifting away from the clinic and into the home. Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of telehealth, wearable sensors, ambient surveillance, and other products was on the rise. In the coming years, patients will increasingly interact with digital products at every stage of their care, such as using wearable sensors to monitor changes in temperature or blood pres…
The Twin Transition concept is born of the belief that we need to bring digitization and sustainability agendas together, unlocking the potential of IT and data products to achieve our sustainability goals (Greening by IT) and for sustainable thinking to green our technology and data assets and infrastructures (Greening of IT)
Sampling and analysis occur along the milk processing train: from collection at farm level, to intake at the diary plant, the processing steps, and the end products. Milk has a short shelf life; however, products such as milk powders have allowed a global industry to be developed.
Food Processing and Preservation describes the latest research and knowledge about food processing and preservation technologies. Food processing and preservation is a major concern for consumers and thus have attracted much attention
Food processing helps transform raw ingredients into food products with minimal undesired microorganisms, improving storage and stability and making food more suitable for human consumption. Food processing includes physical, chemical, and thermal processes or a combination of these that can affect the physical properties and chemical composition of food while retaining its quality for ease and…
This book takes as its starting point recent debates over the dematerialisation of subject matter which have arisen because of changes in information technology, molecular biology, and related fields that produced a subject matter with no obvious material form or trace. Arguing against the idea that dematerialisation is a uniquely twenty-first century problem, this book looks at three situation…
A functional food product is a product that is supposed to have a supplementary function achieved by the addition of one or more new ingredients, with beneficial effects on people’s health. To meet consumers’ demands with regard to this type of product and to produce these foods, the processing of such food products is in continuous development and innovation.
Achieving food quality with respect to its flavor and stability is a complex process, especially when considering the large variety of flavor compounds and diversity of food accepted by consumers. Knowledge of all mechanisms involved in the change of food flavor during processing and storage and identifying the techniques for its constant quality assurance is essential. The desire for food prod…
