We are delighted to introduce the proceedings of the 13th edition of the 2020 European Alliance for Innovation (EAI) International Conference on Mobile Multimedia Communications (MOBIMEDIA). This conference has brought researchers, developers and practitioners around the world who are leveraging and developing multimedia coding, mobile communications and networking fields. Developing and leveraging multimedia coding, mobile communications and networking fields requires adopting an interdisciplinary approach where multimedia, networking and physical layer issues are addressed jointly. Basic theories, key technologies and Artificial Intelligence for next-generations wireless communications,i...
There is an increased awareness on the relevance of nutraceutical and functional foods as alternatives to harmful synthetic additives used in industry. Different peppers, with an abundance of bioactive compounds, are highlighted in this book, which provides a comprehensive evaluaton of their importance as nutraceutical and functional foods to all stakeholders in the agri-food and pharmaceutical industries. Peppers: Biological, Health, and Postharvest Perspectives is a valuable addition to the existing information resource on peppers. Key features: Highlights the advancements made in biodiversity, biochemistry and biosynthesis of bioactive compounds of peppers. Reviews the effects of processing methods on the quality of peppers to facilitate further research and development of foods having pepper as an essential nutritional component. Provides help in selecting better processing methods for the management of nutritional attributes and health benefits of peppers. The book provides a blend of basic and advanced information for postgraduate students, researchers and scientists
Developed using different matrices such as dairy, cereals, legumes, fruits, and vegetables, synbiotic food products combine the benefits of both probiotics and prebiotics. This book is a clear and comprehensive guide to the core concepts of synbiotic foods, and associated technological advancements and applications across food groups. Using clear, scientific language, this book equips readers with in-depth knowledge of synbiotic products, processing methods, applications, and acceptance. This is a pioneering book on synbiotic foods, being the first of its kind to include the following features: Explores fundamental aspects across various matrices Chapter summaries via 10 concise bullet points Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) aiding study for national-level competitive exams Short and long descriptive answer-type questions for comprehensive exam preparation Designed as a one-stop resource, this book particularly appeals to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Food Science, Food Technology, Food Biotechnology and Food Microbiology.
Anthocyanins are one of the powerful antioxidants that can alleviate several lifestyle diseases such as heart diseases and hypertension. They can reduce cancer by protecting cells against damage. Several subtropical fruits, including berries, plums, black grapes, apricots, and peaches, among others, are a rich source of anthocyanin. Consumption of these fruits will prolong the longevity of consumers; this is ascribed to the curative effects of anthocyanins present in those fruits. Anthocyanins in Subtropical Fruits: Chemical Properties, Processing, and Health Benefits discusses novel techniques adopted for the extraction of anthocyanins from various subtropical fruits. In this book, experts ...
The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
The general theme of MEDICON 2013 is "Research and Development of Technology for Sustainable Healthcare". This decade is being characterized by the appearance and use of emergent technologies under development. This situation has produced a tremendous impact on Medicine and Biology from which it is expected an unparalleled evolution in these disciplines towards novel concept and practices. The consequence will be a significant improvement in health care and well-fare, i.e. the shift from a reactive medicine to a preventive medicine. This shift implies that the citizen will play an important role in the healthcare delivery process, what requires a comprehensive and personalized assistance. In...
Flavor is an important evaluation indicator of beverage quality and has a significant impact on product quality ratings and consumer preferences. The variety and content of volatile and non-volatile compounds are the main reasons for flavor differences in beverages, while the type of raw materials and processing methods will affect the final flavors of the products. There are many kinds of beverages with a complex aroma and taste components. Accurate analysis of such volatile and non-volatile sensory substances is the key to studying their gustatory characteristic. There are hundreds of volatile components in beverages, mainly including aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, acids, and sulfur-contain...
