Riassunto

The Encyclopedia of Grain Science is an in-depth and authoritative reference covering all areas of grain science. Coverage includes everything from the genetics of grains to the commercial, economic and social aspects of this important food source. Also covered are the biology and chemistry of grains, the applied aspects of grain production and the processing of grains into various food and beverage products. With the paramount role of cereals as a global food source, this Encyclopedia is sure to become the standard reference work in the field of science.

Also available online via ScienceDirect - featuring extensive browsing, searching, and internal cross-referencing between articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal articles and abstract databases, making navigation flexible and easy.

Recensione:

"One of the strengths of this book is the amount of effort put into its cross-referencing. This information is well organized making this set very easy to locate information as needed. The valuable information, authoritative answers to perplexing questions, and numerous black and white photos, illustrations, and charts are supplied for complimenting a useful and clear introduction of grain science. This book is highly recommended for academic collections with agriculture, food science, and/or nutrition departments." --CARBOHYDRATE POLYMERS (2005)

"The editors bring together information about all areas of grain science, offering extensive articles (many over 15 pages) that include bibliographies and lists of useful Web sites...The encyclopedia is well written, with appropriate illustrations and additional readings...Highly recommended." --CHOICE (March 2005)

L'autore:

Dr Colin Walter WRIGLEY, B.Sc. (Hon.), M.Sc., Ph.D., FRACI, CChem.

Colin Wrigley’s 45 years in cereal chemistry research have earned him international recognition, in the form of several international and Australian research awards. His work is described in over 500 research publications, including several patents, a series of eight books on Australian cereal varieties and many edited books.

His research interests centre on the characterisation of cereal-grain proteins in relation to processing quality. This has involved developing new methods of protein fractionation, including gel isoelectric focusing and its two-dimensional combination with gel electrophoresis. Other diagnostic methods developed relate to the evaluation of grain quality in wheat and barley, such as better methods for variety identification, and for characterising quality in starch and sprouted grain (as co-patentor of the Rapid ViscoAnalyser). Research involvement also includes elucidation of grain-quality variation due to environmental factors (heat stress, fertiliser use and storage conditions).

Currently, Dr Wrigley is an Honorary Research Fellow at Food Science Australia, in Sydney, and a Consultant to the Value-Added Wheat Cooperative Research Centre. This role includes acting as a mentor to the “next generation of cereal chemists.
