Advanced Dairy Chemistry: Volume 1: Proteins, Parts A&B

Advanced Dairy Chemistry-l: Proteins is the first volume of the third edition of the series on advanced topics in Dairy Chemistry, which started in 1982 with the publication of Developments in Dairy Chemistry. This series of volume~ is intended to be a coordinated and authoritative treatise on Dairy Chemistry. In the decade since the second edition of this volume was published (1992), there have been considerable advances in the study of milk proteins, which are reflected in changes to this book. All topics included in the second edition are retained in the current edition, which has been updated and considerably expanded from 18 to 29 chapters. Owing to its size, the book is divided into two parts; Part A (Chapters 1-11) describes the more basic aspects of milk proteins while Part B (Chapters 12-29) reviews the more applied aspects. Chapter 1, a new chapter, presents an overview of the milk protein system, especially from an historical viewpoint. Chapters 2-5, 7-9, 15, and 16 are revisions of chapters in the second edition and cover analytical aspects, chemical and physiochemical properties, biosynthesis and genetic polymorphism of the principal milk proteins. Non-bovine caseins are reviewed in Chapter 6.

"In all, the 2 volumes of Advanced Dairy Chemistry 1 - Proteins contain a total of 29 chapters written by leading academics in the field of dairy protein chemistry. It comprehensively covers virtually all aspects of dairy protein chemistry and is extremely well referenced, including many publications relating to developments within the field during the last 12 years. It is highly recommended for academics, students and those involved in industrial R&D, particularly Foods."

".... [reflects the] advances in the field of dairy proteins with a well balanced sequence of topics, from the molecular, nutritional and analytical aspects of protein chemistry to the more practical aspects of dairy proteins as ingredients and in dairy products. … Advanced Dairy Chemistry is a valuable resource for researchers who wish to update themselves on current achievements in these fields."
(Trends in Food Science & Technology, 15:5, 2004)

"The books provide a valuable reference resource for researchers, extensive study material for students, necessary background for industrial technologists and a wealth of knowledge for anyone interested in milk proteins and dairy science."
