Gluten-Free Ancient Grains
Woodhead Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-0-08-100866-9 (ISBN)
The book provides key information on the sustainable production of these grains. Ancient grains are characterized by their ability to produce a crop under harsh environmental conditions where the major cereals are not-sustainable or even fail. In order to meet growing food demand, and with water resources becoming scarce, this is a highly valuable quality. Chapters review the major grains, analyzing their production and manufacture processes and detailing their impact on long-term good health.
Of interest to many people and organizations in the food production chain, this book will be of significant value to agricultural scientists, food company innovation and R&D managers, academic and food company nutritionists and dietitians and governmental and non-governmental health ministries and research institutes.
John Taylor is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, specializing in grain science and alleviation of micronutrient malnutrition. John is author of numerous scientific papers and book chapters on sorghum, millets and other grains. He was editor-in-chief of the Journal of Cereal Science from 2018-2021. He has co-edited a monograph on Ancient Grains and the second edition of Sorghum and Millets: Chemistry, Technology and Nutritional Attributes. He is presently co-editing a handbook on modern cereal science and technology. He is an Honorary President of the International Association for Cereal Science and Technology (ICC), and fellow of ICC, the Cereal and Grains Association and the International Academy of Food Science and Technology, and 2021 was recipient of the T.B. Osborne Medal from the Cereals and Grains Association. Joseph Awika is Associate Professor at Texas A&M University. His research focus is grain chemistry and biochemistry - identifying mechanisms by which secondary plant metabolites and minor grain constituents can be optimized to improve food quality and human health. Dr. Awika’s current research investigates synergistic interactions of specific grain polyphenols in food matrix, and effect of complexation of the polyphenols with starch and proteins on macronutrient digestibility and functionality. He is heavily involved in international research activities aimed at improving nutritional, health and food-processing quality of cereals and legumes with the goal of reducing poverty and preventing disease in Africa.
