John T. Landrum
Amos Nussinovitch
Florida International University, Miami, USA
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Rehovot, Israel
“This is translational research at its best, and I commend the editor, Dr. John Landrum, for assembling such an interesting and informative collection of current research.”
Considered magicians of the ingredient world, gums (hydrocolloids) are used in a variety of food applications. They possess excellent thickening, binding, emulsifying, suspension, and viscosity properties. Organized by taxonomy, this book is the first comprehensive reference produced on gums in 60 years.
—From the Foreword by Susan T. Mayne, Yale University School of Medicine
Remarkable molecules, carotenoids are just now beginning to receive the attention of researchers proportionate to the species’ versatility … and truly versatile they are. Certainly, the role carotenoids play in photosynthesis — regulating light-energy conversion — is as miraculous a feat as nature performs, but that is hardly the only role that they play. More than 700 fully characterized, naturally occurring molecular species belong to this class of essential pigments, each fulfilling a specific function in nature. Carotenoids: Physical, Chemical, and Biological Functions and Properties spans the breadth of ongoing work by researchers around the world, ranging from basic studies to advanced applied biomedical research. Edited by John Landrum, known for his cutting-edge work on the impact of carotenoids on macular degeneration, the book brings together a diverse group of authors reflecting the trend toward a blending of organic, biological, and physical fields of research. The research spans the continuum, from detailed studies of the roles of photoprotective carotenoids in plants, to their potential application in the prevention of disease in humans. As with many fields of research, new tools and techniques are critical to support research progress. Hence, the text also covers the tools and methods being developed to conduct these studies, including analytical NMR detection, new spectroscopic techniques, and adapted cell culture methods.
Each entry contains the botanical name and synonyms of the tree from which it is exuded, common names, geographic distribution, chemical characteristics and structural features, physical properties, and industrial and food applications. The uses of other parts of the trees from which the gums originate are also detailed. Entries are illustrated with color photos and line drawings. Features • Presents the most extensive collection of plant gum exudates in print, containing information on both well established exudates and newer ones • Describes each exudate in detail • Reviews current and potential food and industrial applications • Classifies gum exudates according to botanical taxonomy • Includes full color plates of most plant gum exudates featured • Provides indexes of both botanical and common names Catalog no. 52233, December 2009, 352 pp ISBN: 978-1-4200-5223-7, $179.95 / £114.00
