Description
The revolution in technology that the food industry has experienced since the Second World War has continually increased the distance between the source of ingredients and the point of conversion and consumption. This has led to the development and increasing importance of intermediate food products (IFPs), raw materials produced by primary conversion units for secondary units to process prior to consumption - IFPs have become the kit-parts of the food industry.
This book is an essential reference offering a comprehensive guide to the range of IFPs available, their key benefits for the food industry (greater flexibility, functionality and more consistent quality) and the ways in which their manufacture can be tailored to the requirements of the food industry. The publication of New ingredients in food processing in English comes at a time when the food industry is under increasing pressure to produce new and innovative products, while faced with consumers who are more educated than ever before about what goes into their food.
Key Features
- Exhaustive guide to available IFPs - range, function, application and benefits
- Comprehensive summary of international research into the biochemistry of IFPs
- Excellent link between the theoretical structure of biomolecules and their practical application in the food industry
Readership
Food scientists, technologists, processors, and manufacturers

Reviews
The most difficult thing about this book is being able to put it down; there is always something worth reading on the next page …the information presented is still valid and useful., Food Technology in New Zealand
This book, as well as offering a summary of the work carried out on IFPs (intermediate food products) over the past twenty years or so, is also preparing for the future by laying the biochemical foundations for commercial exploitation of agricultural products which we know will be important in the development of the European agro-industrial system. I hope this work will quickly reach the wide audience awaiting it., Herve Bichat, Director General of Teaching and Research, Ministry of Forestry and Agriculture, France
