Books in the Society of Dairy Technology series

In recent years, the formation and impacts of biofilms on dairy manufacturing have been studied extensively, from the effects of microbial enzymes produced during transportation of raw milk to the mechanisms of biofilm formation by thermophilic spore-forming bacteria.

Structure of Dairy Products, a new volume in the Society of Dairy Technology's Book Series, published by Blackwell Publishing, covers all major aspects of the structure of dairy products, including details of the use of techniques such as scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.

In the second book to feature in the SDT series Fermented Milks reviews the properties and manufacturing methods associated with products such as yoghurt, buttermilk, kefir, koumiss milk-based fermented beverages and many other examples from around the globe, offering the reader a practically-oriented and user-friendly guide.

The production, safety, quality control, and processing of the dairy industry's raw commodity, milk, is of paramount importance throughout the world. This important book, which brings together expertise from many internationally acknowledged experts in the subject, covers all major aspects of hygienic milk production, storage, and processing.

The third edition of this highly successful volume provides a balanced, leading edge assessment of a practice already well-established in dairy technology and now increasingly relevant in the processed food and beverages industries.

The latest addition to the successful Society of Dairy Technology series, this book details the manufacturing methods, scientific aspects and properties of milk powders (full-fat, skimmed and high protein powders made from milk retentates); whey powders; lactose; caseinates; sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk.

Now in a fully-revised new edition, this book covers the science and technology underlying cheesemaking, as practised today in the manufacture of hard, semi-soft and soft cheeses. Emphasis is placed on the technology, and the science and technology are integrated throughout.

Part of the Society of Dairy Technology Series, this book deals with a commercially significant sector of dairy science. The book includes chapters on legislation, functionality of ingredients, processing plants and equipment, manufacturing best practice, packaging, and quality control.

This book draws together a wealth of information regarding the functional health benefits of milk and dairy products. It examines the physiological role and the claimed health effects of dairy constituents such as proteins, bioactive peptides, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega 3 fatty acids.

Suitable for dairy and beverage processors involved in the application of membranes, both to aid the creation of novel products, and to improve their process economics, this title reviews the principals, developments and designs of membrane processes that are mainly used in commercial dairy and beverage applications.

Food-borne diseases, including those via dairy products, have been recognised as major threats to human health.

The updated guide to the most current research and developments in probiotic dairy products The thoroughly revised and updated second edition of Probiotic Dairy Products reviews the recent advancements in the dairy industry and includes the latest scientific developments in regard to the 'functional' aspects of dairy and fermented milk products and their ingredients. Since the publication of the first edition of this text, there have been incredible advances in the knowledge and understanding of the human microbiota, mainly due to the development and use of new molecular analysis techniques. This new edition includes information on the newest developments in the field. It offers information on the new 'omic' technologies that have been used to detect and analyse all the genes, proteins and metabolites of individuals' gut microbiota. The text also includes a description of the history of probiotics and explores the origins of probiotic products and the early pioneers in this field. Other chapters in this resource provide valuable updates on genomic analysis of probiotic strains and aspects of probiotic products' production and quality control. This important resource: Offers a completely revised and updated edition to the text that covers the topic of probiotic dairy products Contains 4 brand new chapters on the following topics: the history of probiotics, prebiotic components, probiotic research, and the production of vitamins, exopolysaccharides (EPS), and bacteriocins Features a new co-editor and a host of new contributors, that offer the latest research findings and expertise Is the latest title in Wiley's Society of Dairy Technology Technical Series Probiotic Dairy Products is an essential resource for dairy scientists, dairy technologists and nutritionists. The text includes the results of the most reliable research in the field and offers informed views on the future of, and barriers to, the progress for probiotic dairy products.
