Whole Grains and Health / Edition 1

by Len Marquart, David R. Jacobs Jr., Graeme H. McIntosh, Kaisa Poutanen, Marla Reicks

Overview

Whole Grains and Health presents a science-based discussion of whole grains and their expanding role in health and disease. An international collection of authors presents current perspectives on grains, the many opportunities for further research into whole grains and the remarkable growth potential for product development.

Coverage includes discussions on the health benefits of a diet rich in whole grains, the functional components of whole grains and the regulatory nuances of labeling grain products.

A unique feature is a section devoted to communicating with consumers. Barriers exist which affect consumer acceptance and use of whole-grain foods. Whole Grains and Health addresses those concerns and offers strategies for furthering research, product development and educational outreach.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Overall, this book is a comprehensive and detailed reference guide to wholegrains and health, covering all the latest research as well as consumer and regulatory issues and opportunities for product development within the food industry. It should be a useful resource for nutritionists, dietitians and other health professionals with an interest in the health aspects of wholegrains; academic researchers, lecturers and students; and food technologies, as well as others working in the food industry."

Claire Williamson, Nutrition Bulletin Vol. 32, Number 4, p. 413, December 2007

"...would serve as a useful reference source for food technologists and nutritionists working in the food industry, particularily in the development of new wholegrain products."

Claire Williamson, Nutrition Bulletin Vol. 32, Number 4, p. 413, December 2007

"...despite the current high levels of interest there are no ideal texts which provide up-to-date accounts of the topic. This new volume goes some way to satisfy this requirement"
